How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 11 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.
- 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).

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.

Feb 29, 2024Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Resident not assisted in timely manner
An unannounced Complaint Investigation was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Claudia Gutierrez regarding the allegation mentioned above for the purpose of delivering findings. LPA met with Staff Tristan Raquipo. During the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed facility staff, Resident 1 (R1), and R1’s Responsible Party (RP), regarding Resident 1 (R1) not being assisted in a timely manner. During interviews, three out of three staff denied not assisting resident in a timely manner. Per Staff 1 (S1), staff check on residents periodically, however checks are not on a set schedule, and are not documented. S1 stated R1 informed RP they sustained an unwitnessed after leaving the facility on 8/26/22 and stated there was no evidence or noise to alert that R1 fell. Per S1, R1 told RP that they did not inform anyone they had sustained a fall. (Cont. LIC9099-C) Unsubstantiated LPA interviewed R1’s RP, who stated that on 8/26/22, R1 was picked up from the facility by a family member to go to speech therapy and there was no indication R1 had fallen. Per RP, R1 also did not inform them of the fall. RP stated that later the same day, R1 informed another family member of the fall, and the family member then informed RP. RP stated R1 requested to go to the hospital, and they transported R1 to the hospital, where R1 was diagnosed with a hip fracture. During their interview, R1 confirmed they had sustained an unwitnessed fall at the facility, while attempting to get to the restroom. R1 stated they became dizzy and fell but did not alert staff to the fall and staff were unaware they had fallen. Per R1, they did not alert staff or ask for help because they did not need staff assistance and were able to get back on their feet independently. Due to conflicting information received during interviews conducted, LPA is unable to determine if resident was not assisted in a timely manner. Although the above allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore at this time the above allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and copy of this report was provided at the end of the inspection.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Feb 29, 2024 · control 22-AS-20220831133413

“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 6,916 licensed small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer 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 In R Great Hands - Montevideo cost?
$4,950 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,050–$6,100. 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 11 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 194 other homes of a similar licensed size across Orange County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 194 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.
