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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 10 communities with 50 or more beds 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).
  • 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.

Allegation investigated: Staff do not ensure resident receives adequate feeding assistance while in care Staff do not ensure residents are provided adequate supervision resulting in residents engaging in physical altercations Licensee does not ensure all staff are able communicate with residents in care Staff does not ensure resident receives adequate amounts of hydration while in care

Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Daniel Konishi conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint visit to investigate the above allegations. LPA met with the Wellness Director, Rocio Gonzalez and LPA explained the purpose of today's visit. On 7/23/2026, the initial investigation visit was conducted. The investigation consisted of the following: LPA obtained a copy of the resident roster and staff roster. LPA interviewed Administrator, Staff #1 (S1) to Staff #8 (S8), and Resident #1 (R1) to Resident #15 (R15). LPA obtained documents from Resident #1 (R1’s) file such as face sheet, physician’s report, and other pertinent documents. LPA also obtained Staff Training and pertinent documents. LPA toured the facility with the Executive Director. During today's visit the investigation revealed the following: in regard to the allegation, “Staff do not ensure resident receives adequate feeding assistance while in care.” It is alleged that R1 has difficulty swallowing and requires all food to be in puree form. [Conitnue in LIC9099-C] Unsubstantiated LPA interviewed the Administrator, and eight (8) out of eight (8) staff that denied the allegation stating that they provide puree form for R1 and other residents that require puree form food. LPA reviewed R1’s physician’s report that confirms that R1 is on a puree diet at risk for aspiration but able to feed self. LPA interviewed R1 that denied the allegation stating that R1 receives puree form food from the staff and provided feeding assistance from staff. LPA interviewed two (2) out of fifteen (15) residents that require puree form food and feeding assistance that denied the allegation stating that they receive food in puree form and feeding assistance from the staff. LPA interviewed twelve (12) out of fifteen (15) residents that do not require puree form food but stated that they notice residents provided feeding assistance from the staff. LPA toured the facility kitchen to observe supply of puree form food, sufficient supply of liquids and puree food being prepped. LPA also observed R1 and other residents at the dining hall eating lunch in puree form being assisted by nine (9) staff from 12:00pm to 12:30pm. There is not enough sufficient evidence to substantiate. Allegation: “Staff do not ensure residents are provided adequate supervision resulting in residents engaging in physical altercations.” It is alleged that R1 is often left unattended, which has led to falls and physical altercations among memory care residents. LPA interviewed the Administrator and eight (8) out of eight (8) staff denied the allegation that stated that the facility provides sufficient staff to supervise R1 and the other residents. The Executive Director and eight (8) out of eight (8) staff also stated that in case of residents involved in a physical altercation, the staff would immediately intervene, stop the altercation, and separate the residents. The Executive Director and eight (8) out of eight (8) staff also stated the in case of residents falling, the staff would stay with the resident, contact the supervisor, and supervisor conducts the body check, and the staff would contact 9-1-1 if there if the facility requires further medical assistance. LPA reviewed a Special Incident Report (SIR) dated 06/23/2026 indicating an incident that occurred on 6/20/2026 that involved R1 and Resident #2 (R2) involved in a physical altercation in which staff intervened. LPA interviewed R1 that denied the allegation stating that there is sufficient staff to supervise R1 and other residents. R1 could not recall getting involved in a physical altercation with R2 or another resident but stated R1 feels safe at that facility. LPA also interviewed R2 that denied the allegation stating that there is sufficient staff to supervise all residents. R2 could also not recall getting involved in a physical altercation with R1 or another resident but stated R2 feels safe at that facility. LPA interviewed one (1) resident that also denied the allegation which stated not witnessing a physical altercation between residents but witnessing a resident falling and the staff immediately helped that resident. [Continue to LIC9099-C] That one (1) resident also stated if there's a physical altercation between residents, staff would immediately intervene, stop the altercation, and separate the residents.. LPA interviewed an additional thirteen (13) residents that also denied the allegation stating that there are sufficient staff to supervise the residents and have not seen physical altercations between residents. However, all thirteen (13) additional residents stated that the staff would immediately intervene, stop the physical altercation, and separate the residents. These thirteen (13) residents also stated that staff would immediately assist the residents if they fall. LPA also obtained staff in-service training dated 8/4/2025 covering Resident Rights and De-Escalation techniques. LPA also obtained staff in-service training dated 04/25/2026 covering Fall Precautions. There is not enough sufficient evidence to substantiate. Allegation: “Licensee does not ensure all staff are able communicate with residents in care.” It is alleged that some staff in memory care cannot communicate with the residents at the facility because they do not speak or understand English. LPA interviewed the Administrator and eight (8) out of four (8) staff that denied the allegation stating that the on-duty staff are able to communicate with the residents and there is no language barrier. LPA interviewed one (1) out of fifteen (15) residents that did not provide a response to this allegation. LPA interviewed an additional thirteen (13) out of fifteen (15) that denied the allegation stating that the staff are able to communicate effectively with the residents and there is no language barrier. LPA interviewed one (1) out the fifteen (15) residents that denied the allegation but stated that there are times when staff can be difficult to understand since there are staff that primarily speak Spanish. However, that one (1) resident also stated that those staff are doing their best and are able to communicate effectively with the residents. There’s enough sufficient evidence to substantiate. Allegation: ”Staff does not ensure resident receives adequate amounts of hydration while in care.” It is alleged that R1 is not receiving adequate hydration. LPA interviewed the Administrator and eight (8) out of eight (8) staff that denied the allegation stating that the staff provide adequate hydration serving drinks, water, and beverages during every meal, snack time, med passes, an activity, or provide residents a pitcher of water in their bedrooms. LPA toured the facility observing the facility has sufficient water, drinks, and beverages available for the residents in the dining hall, kitchen, and during activities. LPA observed a pitcher of water in three (3) resident bedrooms. LPA also observed the water station at the front lobby. LPA interviewed R1 that denied the allegation stating that the staff provide adequate hydration by R1 receiving drinks frequently from staff. [Continue to LIC9099-C] LPA interviewed an additional fourteen (14) residents that denied the allegation stating that they are provided adequate hydration by staff receiving drinks frequently from staff and are provided a pitcher of water. There is not enough sufficient evidence to substantiate. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff, resident, and review of resident files and facility file records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegations. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was held and a copy of this report was provided to the Wellness Director, Rocio Gonzalez.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 28, 2026 · control 28-AS-20260717095726

The purpose of this visit is to conduct a subsequent visit to deliver the findings pertaining to the above-mentioned allegation. LPA/RA interviewed Asst. Administrator (A2: Lorie Lackey), Staff #1 (S1: Malou Bernardo, Business Office Manager), Staff #2 (S2: Elizabeth Kirk, Nursing Supervisor), and Staff #3 (Manuel "Tony" Ardon, former A.M. Nursing Supervisor) between 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. LPA/RA could not Unsubstantiated interview (former) Resident #1 due to the resident's passing on 07/14/22.

A review of Resident #1's Appraisal/Needs and Services Plan (dated 01/14/22) documented under, "Physical Health" that Resident #1 was at risk for skin breakdowns due to incontinence and immobility. A review of Resident #1's "Clinical Flex Notes" (dated 06/05/20) documented the onset of "suspected" scabies diagnosis by the resident's Dermatologist and reported "just based on clinical presentation - did not do biopsy to confirm" scabies. When facility reported it to the Public Health Department, two (2) nurses came on the phone who said that it wasn't necessarily being lodged against the facility; as no other residents had scabies. This is a precaution. If only one (1) incident of scabies can be documented then the facility did not have an obligation to report it. Asst. Administrator Lackey indicated that it's been reported by the home health nurse (dated 07/22/22) that Resident #1 had been diagnosed with Bullous Pemphigoid.

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 Jasmin Terrace at El Molino cost?

$3,900 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,050–$5,000. 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 10 communities with 50 or more beds 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 6 other homes of a similar licensed size in Pasadena that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,800 to $6,825 a month, and the middle figure is $5,725 (n = 6 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 Jasmin Terrace at El Molino take Medi-Cal?

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home appears on the DHCS participation list, October 1, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

The license is held by V & E Management, LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Huntington Hospital is 1 mile away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
