What does Lakewood Villa Care Center cost?
$4,400 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,450–$5,750. 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 19 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes 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 19 other homes of a similar licensed size in Sacramento that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,046 to $4,461 a month, and the middle figure is $3,500 (n = 19 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 Lakewood Villa Care Center 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 Jsnu Healthcare LLC, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Methodist Hospital of Sacramento 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.
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 19 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes 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.
19 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $2,600–$4,750.
- 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).

Jun 24, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Questionable death. Staff did not address resident's change in condition.
On 06/24/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Shakaricka Hughes arrived unannounced to this facility to conduct a complaint visit. LPA met with Charlotte Lewis and explained the purpose of the visit. The purpose of this visit is to deliver complaint findings for the allegations above. The current census is 15. Allegation: Questionable death. It was alleged that a resident in care had a questionable death. This investigation consisted of records review. On 01/09/2026 LPA Hughes conducted a visit to the facility and obtained records pertaining to resident (R1). On 01/14/2026 additional medical records for resident (R1) were obtained from UC Davis Medical Center were reviewed. The records did not identify any circumstances indicating the resident’s death was questionable. Documentation reviewed reflected that resident (R1) had significant medical conditions and began receiving end-of-life care services on 12/30/2025, prior to death. Based on the information obtained during the investigation, there was insufficient evidence to corroborate this allegation. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Continuation 9099-C Unsubstantiated *This LIC9099-C is being amended to disclose that this incident will be under review by the department and a future civil penalty may apply. Records further indicated that resident (R1) subsequently required a higher level of care and was placed on Hospice services on 12/30/2025. Based on the evidence and information obtained this allegation was observed not in compliance with Title 22 regulation 87628(a). As the facility did not ensure a resident in care was provided with adequate care and supervision to meet the residents care needs. Allegation: Staff did not administer medication as prescribed. It was alleged that staff did not administer medication as prescribed. This investigation consisted of interviews with facility staff. On 01/09/2026 LPA Hughes conducted a visit to the facility and obtained records for resident (R1). On 06/12/2026 LPA conducted a follow-up visit to the facility and interviewed two (2) facility staff who stated that resident (R1) medications were not administered as prescribed as the medications were expired. Staff further stating that the facility notified (R1)’s POA, prescribing pharmacy however, the facility was unable to obtain replacement medications prior to their expiration. Records review did not indicate that resident (R1’s) medication had expired. Additionally, the facility did not provide documentation supporting its claim that the medications had expired, nor did the facility provide documentation demonstrating efforts to obtain replacement medications. Based on the information and evidence obtained, this allegation was observed not in compliance with Title 22 regulation 87628(b)(2). As the facility did not ensure sufficient medications were available for the resident’s diabetic care needs. As a result, the allegations are SUBSTANTIATED.

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.
- What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
- Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
- Can we read the dementia care disclosure and discuss how daily support works?
- What could change whether someone can stay here?
- Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
