What does La Mirada Villa for the Elderly cost?

$4,900 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,000–$6,000. 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 23 small homes within 5 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 228 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,300 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 228 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 La Mirada Villa for the Elderly 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 De Honor Family Corporation, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Vista Specialty Hospital of La Mirada is 1.5 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

  • 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 23 small homes within 5 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.

23 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,000–$5,950.

  • 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).

Allegation investigated: Staff did not provide adequate communication with authorized representative.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Daniel Konishi conducted an unannounced 10-day complaint visit at the facility and met with caregiver, William Del Rio and LPA explained the purpose of the visit. LPA Konishi called the Administrator over the phone and LPA explained the purpose of the visit. The purpose of the visit is to investigate the above allegation. The investigation consisted of the following: LPA interviewed the Staff #1 (S1) to Staff #3 (S3), Resident #1 (R1) to Resident #5 (R5) at the home. LPA also interviewed the Administrator, Witness #1 (W1) to Witness #5 (W5) over the phone. LPA obtained copies from Resident #1 (R1’s) file such as the Appraisal Needs and Services Plan, Physician’s Report, and other pertinent documents. LPA obtained copies of the resident roster and staff roster. Unsubstantiated The investigation revealed the following: in regard to the allegation, “Staff did not provide adequate communication with authorized representative.” It is alleged that on 07/07/2026, R1’s authorized representative called the facility to confirm whether R1 was receiving the prescribed medications and to request medication orders for the authorized representative’s records. It is also alleged that the staff told the authorized representative to contact the Administrator and the disconnected the call and the facility has failed to call the authorized representative back. LPA interviewed the Administrator, three (3) out of three (3) staff that denied the allegation stating that they provide to R1’s authorized representative the prescribed medications information that R1 is receiving over the phone and stated not disconnecting the call. The Administrator also stated calling the authorized representative back on 7/9/2026 and left a voice message. LPA interviewed five (5) out of five (5) residents stating that the facility staff provides adequate communication with their authorized representative and stated having no issues being able to communicate with their authorized representative or loved one. LPA interviewed one (1) out of five (5) witnesses that corroborated with the allegation stating that the facility staff are not willing to provide information to the authorized representative and that the staff hung up on the witness once on 7/7/2026. LPA interviewed four (4) out of five (5) witnesses that denied the allegation stating that the staff provides adequate communication and that the staff are able to provide information when they ever request it and the staff also have not disconnected the call ever over the phone. There is not enough 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 Caregiver, Nonila Ceralde.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 10, 2026 · control 28-AS-20260707113650

Jan 15, 2026Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff did not administer residents’ medications as prescribed.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cynthia Chan conducted a complaint investigation regarding the allegation listed above. LPA arrived unannounced and met with staff. The purpose of the visit was explained. LPA toured the facility, obtained copies of the resident roster, reviewed residents’ files and their medications. LPA interviewed the Administrator via telephone, two (2) Staff, five (5) Residents, and family members. The investigation revealed the following: Allegation – Staff did not administer residents’ medications as prescribed. Per the administrator and staff interviewed, the residents are given their medications as prescribed. The facility uses a Medication Administration Records (MARs) to record the medications when given. Five (5) of the residents interviewed stated they are taking their medications daily and on time. Substantiated LPA reviewed all six (6) of the residents’ medications and discrepancies were observed for three (3) out of the six (6). Resident #2’s medication (Quetiapine Fumarate 50MG) and Resident #3’s medications (Docusate Sodium100MG and Senna 8.6MG) are not given as indicated on the MAR log. Per staff, they were instructed not to give them either by the family member or nurse. However, there were no physician’s order for the instruction. In addition, Resident #4’s medication (Acetaminophen 500MG) was not given at noon time consistently. Based on LPA observations, interviews conducted, and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 8), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted. The Plan of Correction was reviewed and developed with the administrator via telephone. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided. LPA interviewed the administrator and staff regarding this allegation. The administrator stated that no doctors have contacted her to inquire or obtain documents for any of the residents. Administrator also stated that staff are aware that they should not be providing any information without notifying her or receiving an approval. LPA interviewed two (2) staff who stated that no doctors or family members have requested any records or ask for specific information of a resident. One of the Staff recalled a nurse contacting the facility last week to inquired if someone called about Resident #1. Staff responded no and there was no other information requested. Staff interviewed denied falsifying any residents’ records. LPA interviewed family members who stated they have not requested any of the residents’ documents and have not encountered staff providing inaccurate information. LPA reviewed three (3) residents’ files. The files appear complete, and LPA did not observe any information crossed out or appeared altered. Based on the information gathered, there is insufficient evidence to prove that staff are falsifying residents’ records. 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. An exit interview was conducted with Staff W. Del Rio. A copy of this report, along with the appeal rights, was provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jan 15, 2026 · control 28-AS-20260107152642

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?
