The waiver pays for care services, not room and board. On the waiver, a resident on SSI/SSP pays the home $1,444.07 a month for room and board.

How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 14 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 10 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.

  • 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.

Ask for the price

An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Nov 21, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Facility staff neglect resident in care Staff are not distributing resident's medications as prescribed Staff left resident in soiled diapers and linens for an extended period of time.

On 11/21/25 at 11:00 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Greg Clark arrived unannounced to conduct an initial 10-day complaint investigationand deliver findings in regard to the allegations above. LPA met with Bamikole Ogundele, Administrator and explained the purpose of the visit. During the course of the investigation LPA interviewed W1 and facility staff and reviewed facility documents. R1 refused to be interviewed. LPA is well aware of R1’s ongoing refusal to accept care from facility staff, as documented in multiple SIRs submitted by the facility. LPA is also aware that R1 can become physically aggressive toward staff when care is attempted, as evidenced by reports of law enforcement being called to the facility for assistance. ***report continues on LIC9099C*** Unsubstantiated ***report continues from LIC9099*** Based on staff interviews, and a review of facility documents, there is no evidence indicating that staff neglected R1 or failed to provide necessary care. Staff consistently reported offering R1 care at regular intervals, including hygiene assistance, repositioning, and medication administration. Medication administration records show that all medications were provided as ordered, very often R1 declined her medications, staff followed proper refusal protocols and notified the appropriate personnel. Documentation also shows that staff made timely attempts to provide incontinence care to R1 which R1 often refused. When R1 refused care such as changing soiled briefs or bedding, staff documented the refusal, re-approached R1, and offered care again as appropriate. The documentation and interviews demonstrates that staff acted within policy, respected R1’s rights, and did not leave R1 in soiled conditions or without necessary attention for extended periods of time. This agency has investigated the above complaints. We have found that the complaints are unsubstantiated. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

“Typical” is the statewide median for licensed homes this size. It does not adjust for years licensed, and older licenses have had more visits and reports. The median is across the 1,354 licensed larger communities (16+ beds) in the state record. The figures compared are the state’s totals, not the documents.

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.

What does House of Psalms Assisted Living for Seniors cost?

$4,850 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,850–$6,400. 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 14 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 10 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 34 other homes of a similar licensed size across Alameda County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,000 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 34 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.

Does House of Psalms Assisted Living for Seniors take Medi-Cal?
