What does Heart of Home Senior Living cost?

$4,250 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,500–$5,250. This home’s own rate is not on file. Ask: “What is the all-in monthly rate, and what would push it higher?”

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 12 small homes and similar homes within 5 miles publish, then adjusts for this home’s size, state care approvals, Medi-Cal waiver participation, years licensed and the area’s prices. In testing, the likely range held the real rate for 6 in 10 homes. This home’s own rate is not on file.

Among 228 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,300 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 228 other homes publishing a starting rate).

Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date in September 2026 — not an average of ours, and not a survey. Similar size means small and mid-size homes counted together, and large communities counted on their own, because they are different markets.

A home outside the band is not overcharging or underpricing: a starting rate covers different things in different homes, which is the first thing to ask about.

The price is made in the phone call. Nothing here is a quote, an offer or a discount.

A starting rate is the room and the base care. California homes commonly bill care levels, medication management, supplies, transport and a second person in the room as extras. Many also charge a one-time fee at move-in. Ask for that list in writing before anything is signed.

Only prices a home put out itself count here: its own website, a listing it supplied, or a price a listing site says the home confirmed. Prices a site shows without saying where they came from are left out.

Does Heart of Home Senior Living take Medi-Cal?

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home is not on the DHCS participation list dated September 23, 2026. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by Heart of Home Senior Living, Inc., per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Kaiser Foundation Hospital - Panorama City is 2.2 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 5 residents, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

How people payPrivate pay, Medi-Cal waiver, SSI/SSP, veterans, insurance
  • Private payMost residents pay from savings, a home sale or family help. Ask for the rate and what it includes in writing.
  • Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis home is not on the DHCS participation list dated September 23, 2026. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.
  • SSI/SSPCalifornia’s 2026 standard is $1,626.07 a month; $1,444.07 of it goes to the home and $182 stays with the resident. Whether this home accepts it is not on file — ask.
  • VeteransVA Aid & Attendance can add to a veteran’s or surviving spouse’s pension. Ask whether residents here have used it.
  • Long-term care insuranceMost policies pay for licensed care homes. Ask what paperwork the home provides for claims.
  • MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
If the money runs out, what Medi-Cal covers
Avoid surprises on the billWhat changes the price, and what to ask
  • The care level

    Some homes charge one all-inclusive rate. Others add levels or points as needs grow. Ask how the level is set, who decides, and what the next level costs.

  • What is billed separately

    Medication management, incontinence supplies, transportation and a second person in the room are often extra. Ask for the list in writing.

  • Move-in costs

    A one-time community fee or deposit is common. Ask what it covers and whether any of it comes back if the stay is short.

  • Increases

    California requires at least 90 days’ written notice, with reasons, before a rate rises (Health & Safety Code §1569.655). A change in the resident’s care level is the section’s own exception and can be billed sooner.

  • What is the full monthly cost for the room and care we need, and what does it include?
  • What would the next care level cost, and who decides when it changes?
  • What is billed separately, and is there a one-time fee or deposit at move-in?
  • Is any private-pay period required before another payment program can begin?
How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 12 small homes and similar homes within 5 miles publish, then adjusts for this home’s size, state care approvals, Medi-Cal waiver participation, years licensed and the area’s prices. In testing, the likely range held the real rate for 6 in 10 homes. This home’s own rate is not on file.

12 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,000–$6,050.

  • Only prices a home put out itself count: its own website, a listing it supplied, or a price Seniorly says the home confirmed. Prices a listing site shows without saying where they came from are left out.
  • Nearby homes are the nearest of the same size that publish a rate, widening from 3 to 40 miles until at least 8 do. The estimate starts from what they charge, then adjusts for this home’s size, state care approvals, Medi-Cal waiver participation, years licensed and the area’s prices.
  • Room, care-level, second-person and move-in lines come from what California homes publish on listing sites. Memory care uses Covelight’s researched premium over assisted living.
  • Totals add each line’s figure and combine the lines’ ranges as separate charges, because a home is rarely at the top, or the bottom, of every line at once.
  • We tested this estimate on 1,546 California homes that publish their own starting rate. It was within 10% of the real rate for 3 in 10 homes and within 25% for 7 in 10; the likely range held the real rate for 6 in 10 (September 12, 2026).

Allegation investigated: Resident was left in a soiled diaper Resident is unable to communicate with staff due to language barrier

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Quoc Huynh conducted an unannounced initial complaint visit for the above allegations. LPA arrived at 9:40AM and met with the Licensee Kajo Movsesian and explained the reason for the visit. Entrance interview conducted. Beginning at 9:57AM, the LPA and Licensee conducted a brief tour to ensure the health and safety of the residents, and no immediate concerns were observed. Between 10:05AM and 11:24AM, the LPA interviewed four (4) residents, two (2) staff, and the Licensee. At 12:05PM, the LPA reviewed and obtained pertinent documents. The following was then determined: Report Continued on LIC 9099-C *Report amended due to missing signature Unsubstantiated Allegations: “Resident was left in a soiled diaper” and “Resident is unable to communicate with staff due to language barrier.” It was reported that on 09/17/2025, emergency services responded to a 911 call from the facility with complaints of chest pain from Resident #1 (R1). R1 was observed to be in a soiled diaper that leaked through their shirt and mattress. It was also alleged that residents are unable to communicate with facility staff and staff were unable to provide emergency services information for the residents in care due to a language barrier. Interview with three (3) out of four (4) residents revealed they have not experienced being left in a soiled diaper for long periods of time. R1 reported that there were two (2) previous occasions that they believed they were not changed but was not certain about their answer. Resident #2 (R2) reported that they were unsure if they utilized an adult diaper. Resident #3 (R3) and Resident #4 (R4) reported having no issues with their diaper changes and that staff are attentive to their incontinence needs. Record review showed that two (2) out of five (5) residents require some assistance with toileting/incontinence needs while three (3) residents required full assistance. Staff #1 (S1) and Staff #2 (S2) reported that they conduct physical checks on residents often with diaper checks every two (2) to three (3) hours, and more if needed. S1 stated diapers are changed often, and in addition to routine checks, if staff smell a foul odor they will change the resident immediately. S2 stated some residents can utilize the bathroom or communicate to the staff if they are soiled. S2 also educated the more independent residents on how to change their own diapers, however, staff will continue to assist with changes as needed. Residents reported that they had no issues with communication with staff. R3 stated S1 can sometimes have difficulty with communicating due to limited English. R3 and R4 stated that they communicate with S1 by repeating themselves and using hand gestures or signals for better understanding, to which S1 then successfully understands and can fulfill their requests. R1 described the staff as “ok” and R1 had no problems with staff communication. Residents had no overall complaints about the staff and their abilities for meeting resident needs. Interview with S1 was accomplished through the utilization of a translator app, however S1 was able to respond to the LPA’s questions with basic English. Report Continued on LIC 9099-C S1, S2, and the Licensee stated that S1 is the only staff who knows limited English, however, will have scheduled shifts with staff who are more fluent. In an emergency when 911 is dispatched, staff immediately notified the Licensee in which the Licensee will arrive at the facility within five (5) minutes or communicate with emergency services via telephone call. Although the Licensee is known to communicate with emergency services, S1 and S2 were knowledgeable in emergency procedures and were aware of where to access the residents’ information. Additionally, the Licensee stated that during an emergency, staff are instructed to not touch or move the residents which included pausing diaper changes, until emergency services evaluated the situation. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not sufficient evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. No deficiency related to the allegations were cited. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was reviewed and provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 25, 2025 · control 29-AS-20250918123856

Type of visit: Case Management - Other

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Quoc Huynh arrived on September 18, 2025 at 09:30AM for an unannounced inspection to follow up on a substantiated allegation of a complaint investigation. The LPA met with Licensee Kajo Movsesian who arrived at 9:51AM. Beginning at 9:52AM, the LPA and Licensee conducted a brief safety tour, and no immediate concerns were observed. On March 2, 2022, the Department concluded a complaint investigation regarding the following allegation: Failure to provide adequate care and supervision. The Licensee was cited for California Code of Regulations (CCR) 87615(a)(1) Prohibited Health Conditions; CCR 87631(a)(1) Healing Wounds; CCR 87468.2(a)(4) Additional Personal Rights of Residents in Privately Operated Facilities; and CCR 87465(g) Incidental Medical and Dental Care. At the time of the complaint visit on March 2, 2022, an immediate civil penalty of $500 was issued and the licensee was informed that an additional civil penalty might be assessed based on Health and Safety Code §1569.49(f). Report Continued on LIC 808-C The Department has concluded an analysis and has determined that a civil penalty is warranted for serious bodily injury. The Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15610.67 defines serious bodily injury as “an injury involving extreme physical pain, substantial risk of death, or protracted loss or impairment of a function of a bodily member, organ, or of mental faculty, or requiring medical intervention, including but not limited to, hospitalization, surgery, or physical rehabilitation.” This is evidenced by the facility not providing care and supervision to a resident (R1) that resulted in serious bodily injury. The facility did not assess R1’s skin condition and seek prompt medical care, leading to pressure injuries and pain that required hospitalization and surgical intervention. Today, September 18, 2025, the Department will be issuing a civil penalty per Health and Safety Code § 1569.49(f) for a violation that the Department constitutes as serious bodily injury in the amount of $10,000. However, since an immediate civil penalty of $500 was previously issued on March 2, 2022, the amount of the civil penalty issued today will be $9,500. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report issued. Appeal rights provided. The Licensee Kajo Movsesian’s signature on this report acknowledges receipt of the appeal rights, found on page two of LIC 421D.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 18, 2025

An “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing — it means the state investigated and could not confirm the allegation. Outcome words are the state’s own; we never grade, score, or color a record, and we publish no reviews — the state’s dated documents and the questions below stand in their place.

Life here

Rooms, meals, the rhythm of a day, faith and language, pets and house rules — as the home describes them. Tap any detail for its source and date; nothing here is graded.

The home has not described daily life anywhere we have reviewed yet — that is the case for most small homes, and it says nothing about the home. These questions fill in the picture; keep the ones that matter to you.

Before you call

Ask every home the same questions — the state’s record does not answer these. Keep the ones that matter and they travel with your saved homes.

  1. What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
  2. Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
  3. Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
  4. What could change whether someone can stay here?
  5. Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
