What does Ivy Park at Pleasanton cost?

$5,350 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,150–$6,800. 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 18 communities with 50 or more beds 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 31 other homes of a similar licensed size across Alameda County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,636 to $6,129 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 31 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 Ivy Park at Pleasanton 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 Transformer Opco LLC; Oakmont Management Group LLC, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026. See the homes licensed to Oakmont Management Group LLC — at least 56 on the state roster.

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 18 communities with 50 or more beds 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.

18 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,050–$6,750.

  • 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).

Records revealed that on 11/18/2025, R1 was observed chasing an unknown staff person when R1 tripped and fell. EMS responded and assessed R1 following the fall. EMS records indicated R1 denied pain and did not exhibit signs of injury at that time. Records further indicated that R1's responsible party declined transportation to the hospital following the assessment. ***CONTINUE ON 9099C*** Unsubstantiated ***CONTINUE FROM 9099*** S1 informed the Department during an interview that R1 did not exhibit any signs or complaints of pain in her left arm following the reported fall and did not experience any additional falls between 11/19/2025 and 11/27/2025. S1 further stated that R1 was away from the facility with family for the Thanksgiving holiday from 11/27/2025 through 11/30/2025. Records reviewed indicated that on 11/30/2025, at approximately 8:50 a.m., R1 was admitted to an emergency room with complaints of left wrist pain related to an unspecified fall. Medical records documented a diagnosis of a nondisplaced fracture of the radial head (elbow fracture). The Department interviewed S1 and S2, who reported that R1 remained at baseline following the incident, continued to ambulate independently, participated in normal daily activities, and did not complain of pain or discomfort. Records reviewed by the Department indicated that facility staff monitored R1 following the fall and documented R1's condition. This agency has investigated the allegation above. We have found that the complaint was unfounded. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report was provided to the Executive Director. ***CONTINUE FROM 9099*** The Department interviewed S1 and S2, who reported that R1 was ambulatory, independent with walking, and was not considered a fall risk prior to the incident. S1 and S2 stated that following the fall, R1 continued to ambulate throughout the facility, participated in activities, and did not complain of pain or display signs of injury. Records reviewed by the Department showed that R1 left the facility with family on 11/27/2025 and returned on 11/30/2025. Hospital records reviewed by the Department revealed that on 11/30/2025, R1 was diagnosed with a nondisplaced fracture of the radial head. However, the records did not identify when or where the injury occurred. This agency has investigated the allegation. We have found that the complaint was unsubstantiated. Although the 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 the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Allegation investigated: Staff behavior poses as a risk to residents Staff did not prevent a resident from assaulting another resident Staff left a resident outside in extreme heat for an extended period of time Staff does not communicate effectively Staff did not properly report incidents involving the residents

On 09/24/2025 at 12:15 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ardalan Gharachorloo arrived unannounced to deliver findings in regard to the allegations above. LPA met with Executive Director, Gilbert Castro and explained the purpose of the visit. During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with 4 staff (S1-S4), two residents (R3,R4) ,and obtained the following documents: a copy the residents roster in the memory care unit, staff roster and schedule, and incident reports. LPA also obtained the files of R1, and R2 including admission agreement, invividualzed service plan, Physician's report, Charting Notes, Assessments and med records.During visit, LPA also toured the memory care unit. Allegation: Staff behavior poses a risk to residents - Unsubstantiated W1 expressed concern management and oversight of the memory care unit.LPA interviewed staff (S1–S4) who did not report any issues related to staff behavior or administrative oversight. ***CONTINUE ON 9099C*** Unsubstantiated ***CONTINUE FROM 9099*** Resident interviews were also consistent, with R3 stating, “the staff are very nice and take good care of us,” while R4 shared, “I don’t have problems with the staff.” LPA’s observation during the tour showed staff engaged in scheduled care responsibilities. Review of staff schedule, resident files, including charting notes and individualized service plans, indicated that care delivery and monitoring were consistent with residents’ needs. No documentation supported that staff behavior created a risk or led to lapses in care. Allegation: Staff did not prevent a resident from assaulting another resident - Unsubstantiated W1 reported that “two incidents occurred where R1 was hospitalized after being assaulted by another resident,” and stated "staff failed to intervene". Staff interviews confirmed an altercation occurred between residents; however, S1 stated, “both responsible parties were notified right away and both residents were sent for medical assessment.” S2 similarly reported that staff “reacted quickly and ensured the facility protocols are being followed.” A review of R1’s file, including charting notes, and incident reports and LPA's interview with S1, revealed that R1 was taken to Urgent care by the responsible party at W1's request ,and follow-up steps were documented. S3 stated " I notified the nurse immediately when the altercation happened we made calls and left voicemail". Based on staff statements and file reviews, staff responded and documented the incident as required. ***CONTINUE ON 9099C*** ***CONTINUE FROM 9099C*** Allegation: Staff left a resident outside in extreme heat for an extended period of time- Unsubstantiated W1 stated that “a resident was left outside in extreme heat for over an hour” and found by her daughter showing signs of overheating. Interviews with S3 and S4 did not confirm this incident, and both stated they “are attentive when residents are outdoors, especially in hot weather.” LPA interviewed R3 who stated, “I usually see one or two staff outside checking in if a resident is outside".Review of daily charting notes and assessments for residents did not show any documentation of a resident experiencing heat related issues. During the tour, LPA observed shaded areas in the outdoor space. Allegation: Staff does not communicate effectively - Unsubstantiated W1 reported that “communication was hindered as the caregiver did not speak English” during an incident. Interviews with S1–S4 revealed that some staff speak English as a second language, but all were able to effectively communicate with residents and facility leadership. S4 stated, “I can explain care needs in English, and if needed, I ask another staff to help.” R3 confirmed, “the staff understand what I want,” while R4 shared, “I never had problems talking to them.” Additionally, during the visit, LPA was able to communicate directly with all staff and confirm they understood questions and responded to questions asked. A review of resident service plans and charting notes showed that care instructions were being followed. ***CONTINUE ON 9099C*** ***CONTINUE FROM 9099C*** Allegation: Staff did not properly report incidents involving the residents - Unsubstantiated W1 stated there “should be unusual incident reports on file” regarding the resident altercations. A review of R1’s and R2’s files revealed that incident report was sent to CCL and a copy of the incident report was reviewed by LPA. Documentation also showed charting notes for both residents aligned with the reported timelines and follow-up care. This agency has investigated the above allegations. We have found that the allegations were 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.

Allegation investigated: Staff are interfering with resident's visitation

On 07/02/2025 at 10:05 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ardalan Gharachorloo arrived unannounced to deliver findings regarding the allegation above. LPA met with the Executive Director, Gilbert Castro and explained the purpose of the visit. Allegation: Staff are interfering with resident’s visitation – Unsubstantiated. During the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed four staff members (S1–S4), three residents (R1–R3), and (W1). LPA also reviewed R1’s file including the admission agreement, physician’s report, care plan, charting notes, communication logs, and Power of Attorney documents. The review of records revealed that, the admission agreement contained no provisions authorizing restrictions on visitation such as requiring staff presence, location limitations, or advance notice. Charting notes and communication logs did not reflect any instructions to restrict access to R1. ***CONTINUE ON 9099C*** Unsubstantiated ***CONTINUE FROM 9099*** S1 stated that all guests check in with the front desk and residents are notified immediately. S2 indicated that while staff were made aware of some family conflict, no formal or informal restriction on R1’s visitation was enforced. W1 stated that R1’s daughter was informed of several visitation rules, including providing 24-hour notice, limiting visits to public areas, being accompanied by staff, not bringing a cell phone or guests, and not taking R1 off premises. S3 and S4 stated that on limited occasions, they were asked to be present during visits as a precautionary measure at the POA’s request, but that visits were not prohibited. R2 and R3 both stated they receive visits regularly and had not witnessed staff restricting residents from meeting with family or guests. R1’s care plan and medical assessments did not identify any behavioral, cognitive, or safety concerns that would require limiting or monitoring visits. W1 also reported that R1 had not seen her daughter for an extended period, and when they did reunite, R1 appeared visibly distressed and expressed that she had been told her daughter no longer wished to see her. W1 stated that during this visit, R1 became emotional, and a staff member approached and asked if she felt safe, to which R1 responded that she did. W1 expressed concern that staff never communicated directly with the daughter about these reported conditions and believes R1 may have received incorrect information that caused confusion. LPA's review of communication logs and admission agreement did not produce evidence that facility staff conveyed inaccurate information to R1 or that they imposed or enforced restrictions in violation of visitation rights. This agency has investigated the above allegation. We have found that the complaint was unsubstantiated. Although the 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 the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Allegation investigated: Licensee does not ensure facility is adequately staffed to meet residents needs Staff are not properly supervising residents who may be a fall risk Staff are not properly notifying resident responsible parties of incidents in a timely manner Staff are not providing residents with clean linen Staff are not assisting residents with meeting their bathing needs

On 05/23/2025 at 10:50 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ardalan Gharachorloo arrived unannounced to deliver findings regarding the allegations above. LPA met with Executive Director,Gilbert Castro and explained the purpose of the visit. Over the course of the investigation, LPA Ardalan Gharachorloo conducted interviews with 6 staff members (S1–S6) and 3 residents (R1,R2,R3), and reviewed the resident files for R1, R2, and R3. The documentation reviewed included individualized Care plans, admission agreements, physician reports, charting notes, staff schedules, incident reports, care logs, and the staff communication logs. LPA also toured the memory care unit and inspected the rooms of R1, R2, and R3. LPA was unable to speak to W1. Allegation: Licensee does not ensure facility is adequately staffed to meet residents needs-Unsubstantiated W1 stated in her letter to the Executive Director that on several occasions she found residents, including (R1), unsupervised in the memory care common area. ***CONTINUE ON 9099C*** Unsubstantiated ***CONTINUE FROM 9099*** She expressed concern that staff may not be sufficient to monitor and care for residents safely in the memory care unit. LPA reviewed staffing schedules for January and February 2025 and observed a consistent staff-to-resident ratio. The schedules showed that the memory care unit maintained 5 caregivers and 1 med tech during daytime hours, with 4 caregiver and 1 med tech during the night shift. LPA also reviewed care plans for R1, R2, and R3. R1’s care plan included supervision in common areas, cueing for activities, and safety checks. The charting notes indicated that staff were recording observations multiple times per shift. Staff communication logs reflected shift-to-shift updates on resident behaviors and supervision needs. S1 (Executive Director) stated, “We make staffing decisions based on residents' care plans and adjust if anyone’s condition changes.” S2 added, “If we notice someone needs more one-on-one time, we increase support.” S3 said, “We’re always checking the common areas—it’s part of our routine.” S6 also stated, “Even if we’re passing meds, we’re constantly scanning the room". Allegation: Staff are not properly supervising residents who may be a fall risk- Unsubstantiated W1 reported that R1 experienced a fall during her stay. She expressed concern that residents at risk of falling were not being supervised appropriately. Charting notes reviewed by LPA identified R1 as a fall risk during nighttime hours while in her room. The care plan instructed staff to provide cueing, assist with transfers, and perform safety checks. Charting notes confirmed that staff conducted regular checks and documented her mobility daily. An incident report dated 01/30/25 detailed a fall in the common area, marked as "un-witnessed," and included follow-up actions such as vital signs monitoring and notification to the responsible party. ***CONTINUE ON 9099C*** ***CONTINUE FROM 9099C*** S2 explained, “When someone is a fall risk, we tag their chart and notify all staff to monitor them closely. R1 was being checked regularly before and after the incident.” S5, added, “We try to keep fall-risk residents in sight at all times, but they can get up quickly.” S6 stated, “We had eyes on her throughout the morning. She was fine one minute and, on the floor, the next—we responded immediately.” Allegation: Staff are not properly notifying resident responsible parties of incidents in a timely manner - Unsubstantiated W1 stated that after R1’s fall, she was not immediately informed and only learned of the incident after making her own inquiries. In the letter, she expressed frustration about not receiving prompt updates from the facility. LPA reviewed the incident reports related to R1’s fall and confirmed it included a notation of a phone call made to W1 the same day the fall happened. The facility’s internal policy requires responsible parties to be notified immediately of any significant incident. Communication logs and R1’s chart included an entry confirming that S2 spoke with W1 and provided an update on R1’s condition. S2 stated, “We make every effort to notify families within the hour. In R1’s case, Med Tech made the call that evening.” S1 added, “We train staff to report incidents immediately to management so we can handle notifications without delay.” S4 also stated, “If something happens, we write it up, radio the lead, and let them handle the family call—it’s taken seriously.” Allegation:Staff are not providing residents with clean linen - Unsubstantiated According to W1, she discovered R1’s bed with no sheets during her second week at the facility. She reported that R1 was lying on a bare mattress and was concerned that linens were not being changed or replaced as needed. ***CONTINUE ON 9099C*** ***CONTINUE FROM 9099C*** LPA inspected rooms during the visit, including R1’s former room, and found clean linens present. LPA reviewed linen logs and supply inventories, which showed that clean bedding was distributed weekly and as needed. R1’s care plan indicated that staff were to provide linen changes at least three times per week and immediately if soiled. Charting notes included entries indicating linen changes for R1 on 01/18, 01/22, and 01/29. S2 stated, “If a bed is found without sheets, that’s usually because the linens were removed for cleaning and staff hadn’t finished remaking it yet.” S3 said, “Sometimes we strip the bed, step out to grab clean sheets, and come back—but we don’t leave it for long.” S5 added, “I always change sheets if they’re dirty, and we have a full linen closet on each floor.” LPA toured R1, R2 and R3’s room during the visit and observed clean linens. Allegation: Staff are not assisting residents with meeting their bathing needs - Unsubstantiated W1 stated that R1 did not receive any baths during her stay at the facility. She stated that R1's hygiene appeared poor and her hair remained unwashed, which raised serious concerns. LPA reviewed R1’s Care Plan, which indicated she was to be assisted with bathing twice weekly and as needed. The bathing schedule showed that R1 was assigned to bathe on Tuesdays and Fridays, with logs marking bathing assistance on 01/17, 01/21, and 01/28.There were no refusals noted in the logs. S3 stated that if there is a refusal, it is noted in the charting notes. S2 explained, “We follow the care plan, and if a resident refuses a bath, we document it and try again later.” S4 added, “we also log refusals on shower skin sheet. A sample of the log was provided to LPA. S6 said, “R1 didn’t resist bathing. We assisted her per schedule, and she was always cooperative.” ***CONTINUE ON 9099C*** ***CONTINUE FROM 9099C*** This agency has investigated the above allegations. We have found that the complaint was 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.

An “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing — it means the state investigated and could not confirm the allegation.
