Among 21 other homes of a similar licensed size across Ventura County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,688 to $6,500 a month, and the middle figure is $5,700 (n = 21 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. 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 Laigo-Zanders Home for the Elderly take Medi-Cal?
