What does Home at Cascade Lane cost?

$4,800 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,950–$5,950. 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 within 3 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 13 other homes of a similar licensed size in Huntington Beach that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $4,800 (n = 13 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 Home at Cascade Lane 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 Home at Cascade Lane, Inc., per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Kindred Hospital Westminster is 1.7 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

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 within 3 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 3 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,850–$5,800.

  • 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).

Jan 21, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnfounded

Allegation investigated: Facility staff did not communicate with resident’s family. Facility staff did not follow resident’s dietary restrictions.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessica Cho made an unannounced visit for the purpose of continuing the investigation into the above allegations. LPA was greeted by Caregiver Jesus Manalansan and stated the reason for the visit. During the course of investigation, LPA toured the physical plant, interviewed three witnesses, and five out of six residents. LPA was unable to obtain one resident's statement due to their medical condition. LPA obtained the following documentation for review: Resident Roster, Face Sheets, Physician's Reports, Admission Agreements, and menu. The investigation revealed the following: Regarding the allegation, Facilty staff did not communicate with resident's family, it is alleged that the families were not informed about the new owner of the business. Per interviews, four witnesses and two residents who are self-responsible confirmed the change in administrator from Staff #1 (S1) to Staff #2 (S2). The interviewed parties mentioned that the change in administrator was communicated individually either in person, by phone call, or via text. Unfounded Based on the interviews, four out of six residents, three witnesses, and three staff confirmed all utilities remain working and the licensee remains in control of the property. In review of the Department's Notice of Application Submission Status dated January 29, 2024, the licensee is the legal title holder of the property per the notarized grant deed dated October 23, 2025. The licensee sold the business to Staff #2 (S2) per the business purchase agreement on August 29, 2025. The term of the lease agreement dated September 1, 2025 between licensee and S2 began September 1st ending August 31, 2031. LPA received an email from S2 on January 20, 2026 reporting their resignation as business owner and administrator, withdrawing the application from the Centralized Applications Bureau (CAB), and endorsing Staff #3 (S3) as of the same day. Per review of the subsequent notarized business purchase agreement dated January 18, 2026, S3 entered into agreement purchasing the business from the licensee and S2 as of January 16, 2026. The term of the lease agreement dated January 15, 2026 between licensee and S3 begins February 1, 2026 ending February 1, 2031. As of today's date, S3 confirmed not submitting the application to CAB. Regarding the allegation, It is alleged that the Licensee has sold the facility without proper notice, it is alleged that the responsible parties were not given notice of the sale of the facility (or business). Based on the interviews, four witnesses and the two residents who are self-responsible, were informed about the change in management from Staff #1 (S1) to Staff #2 (S2) either in person, by phone call, or via text. Although, the residents and or their representatives were informed about the sale of the business, the licensee failed to issue proper written notices to the Department at least 30 days prior to the transfer. The investigation reveals that "control of property" is a requirement imposed on the licensee and applied continuously, meaning a licensee must maintain "control" for the duration of the license, and the Department may require evidence of control of the licensed property. In the case of losing control of property, the licensee lost control when the business was sold to S2 and subsequently S3. Additionally, the Department and residents and/or their representatives were not informed in writing at least sixty (60) days prior the transfer of business, or at the time that bona fide offer is made, whichever period is longer for both business transactions to S2 and S3. Therefore, based on the interviews which were conducted and the records that were reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the following allegations: Licensee has lost control of property and Licensee has sold the facility without proper notice are deemed SUBSTANTIATED. Deficiencies are being cited on the attached LIC9099-D. An exit interview was conducted with Caregiver Maria Perkins in person and Administrator Jeannie Dao via telephone, and a copy of this report including the appeal rights and Confidential Names (LIC811) were provided at exit. LPA reviewed the text messages sent to the responsible party who is the conservator of Resident #1 (R1) per the conservatorship document dated April 24, 2024. LPA confirmed that conservator of R1 was notified of the change of administrator via text message. Regarding the allegation, Facility staff did not follow resident's dietary restrictions, it is alleged that the facility fed R1 eggs and bacon causing R1 to be admitted to the hospital from a reaction. The complainant denied the allegation indicating R1 not having a special diet and food allergies which includes eggs and bacon. In review of the Physician's Report (LIC602), it is confirmed that R1 does not have a special diet prescribed by the doctor. Five out of six residents and three out of three witnesses reports residents receiving three meals a day with snacks in between and expressed no concerns. Therefore, this agency has investigated the complaint and based on the observations made, interviews which were conducted, and the records that were reviewed, the following allegations: Facility staff did not communicate with resident's family and Facility staff did not follow resident's dietary restrictions are deemed UNFOUNDED. We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegations were false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint. An exit interview was conducted with Caregiver Maria Perkins in person and Administrator Jeannie Dao via telephone, and a copy of this report including the Confidential Names (LIC811) were provided at exit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jan 21, 2026 · control 22-AS-20251216150102

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. Can we read the dementia care disclosure and discuss how daily support works?
  4. What could change whether someone can stay here?
  5. Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
