How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living one bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
- 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).
- It cannot see this home’s specials, how it assesses care, or which rooms are open.
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 move-in 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.
An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

R1's interview revealed R1 wants to leave the facility and S1 was trying to redirect R1 inside the facility but once S1 was with another resident R1 left out the front door and crossed the street when 2 neighbors approached R1, then S1 came outside and they all walked R1 back to the facility, R1 was OK, R1 did not have any injuries and does not want anyone to get in trouble. R1 was always able to leave R1's home and is not understanding why R1 can not leave the facility, it was explained to R1 that R1 can leave the facility but needs to let the staff know so they can assist R1 on a walk when R1 wants to go outside. Administrator contacted R1's family and doctor regarding the exit seeking and medications have been adjusted to help with wandering. Administrator stated the facility has not had any another incidents of resident AWOL over the past month only exit sekking and wandering with staff supervision and redirection. Based on the evidence this allegation is Substantiated at this time. Administrator has placed a door stop alarm at the front door for further safety measures. Administrator is observing R1 with medication adjustments and taking R1 for walks to help with the wandering behaviors. Administrator will be looking into locked exiting doors and secured perimeter fence gates with the local fire authority to see if the facility would qualify to update the fire clearance with added safety measures.

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 stand in their place.

$4,300 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living one bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 27 other homes of a similar licensed size across San Luis Obispo County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,963 to $7,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,500 (n = 27 other homes publishing a starting rate).
Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date between September and October 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 Heritage Residence take Medi-Cal?
On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home is not on the DHCS participation list dated October 1, 2026. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.
