What does Jbm Residence Home cost?

$4,300 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,500–$5,300. 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 8 small homes within 8 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 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in Lancaster that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $4,250 a month, and the middle figure is $3,800 (n = 5 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 Jbm Residence Home 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 Jbm Residence Home, Inc., per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Antelope Valley Medical Center is 1.9 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 8 small homes within 8 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.

8 homes like this within 8 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,500–$4,500.

  • 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).

To investigate this allegation, LPA conducted an interview with the Licensee and was informed that they had spoken to R1's LCSW sometime last week regarding R1's discharge and return to the facility. The Licensee confirmed they informed R1's LCSW that upon discharge they would not be admitting R1 due to R1's "unstageable" wounds and that she could not admit R1 because they were not allowed to take care of someone with "unstageable" wounds per Community Care Licensing (CCL). LPA's review of R1's Home Health services for wound care confirmed R1 had been receiving care for a wounds since 05/22/25 after being admitted to the facility on 04/12/25. On 08/11/25, an unannounced Case Management – Deficiencies visit was conducted. During the visit, the facility was cited for retaining R1, who had a prohibited health condition. As part of the plan of correction, the Licensee submitted an exception request to retain R1 at the facility. Licensee had not received a approval or denial from CCL.

Licensee also asked the LCSW to help with placement. Based on interviews and record review this allegation is Substantiated at this time. (Continue to LIC9099-C) Page 2 of 3 (Continued from LIC9099-C) Allegation: Facility staff did not seek medical attention in a timely manner. It was alleged that the Licensee informed R1's family that R1 may have had a "stroke" but did not call 911 until the next day. To investigate this allegation, LPA conducted an interview with the Licensee and was informed that around noon of 09/12/25 R1's family member in the presence of R1's Home Health nurse asked the Licensee why R1 was "screaming" and complaining of pain when they attempted to stretch out R1's left arm which was bent at the elbow. According to the Licensee and a review of text messages, the following is a representation of the events that occurred: On 09/12/25, the Licensee informed R1’s family member that they believed the contractions in R1’s arm and leg could be due to a “mini stroke.” According to the Licensee, R1’s family member appeared anxious and contacted R1’s responsible person. R1’s responsible person then reached out to the Licensee same day via telephone, sending a text message at 6:05 p.m., followed by a voicemail at 6:21 p.m., requesting that the Licensee call 911 if they believed R1 was experiencing a stroke. At approximately 8:27 p.m., the Licensee followed up with R1’s responsible person to clarify that they suspected R1 may have had a “mini stroke” that had gone unnoticed. When asked by the LPA why they believed R1 had experienced a "mini stroke", the Licensee explained that they had observed contractions in R1’s leg and now arm and asked their friend in the neurology field, who suggested there are different reasons but according to the Licensee their friend said based on the resident's age an symptoms it could indicate a stroke. The Licensee stated that they chose not to immediately call 911 because they wanted to monitor R1 and contact R1’s Home Health provider. However, since the provider was closed at that time, they waited until the next morning. On 09/13/25, at approximately 8:00 a.m., the Licensee contacted Home Health, who advised that if the Licensee believed R1 had suffered a stroke, they should call 911. Licensee admitted that they did not call 911 immediately after Home Health because they were gathering R1’s documentation to provide to the EMT. 911/Paramedics arrived to the facility at approximately 11:00 a.m. On 09/17/25, LPA Rios confirmed with R1’s Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and later on 09/22/25 with R1’s responsible person, that R1 did not experience a stroke.

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. Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
  4. What could change whether someone can stay here?
  5. Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
