What does Legacy Senior Care III cost?

$4,650 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,800–$5,700. 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 11 small homes 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 51 other homes of a similar licensed size across Sacramento County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $5,000 a month, and the middle figure is $4,000 (n = 51 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 Legacy Senior Care III 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 Legacy Senior Care LLC, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026. See the homes licensed to Legacy Senior Care LLC — at least 3 on the state roster.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Methodist Hospital of Sacramento is 3.3 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Legacy Senior Care III keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 1 resident, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

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 11 small homes 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.

11 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $2,850–$4,300.

  • 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).

Type of visit: Office

An Office Meeting was held on March 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM via Microsoft TEAMS. Present were Licensing Program Manager Stephen Richardson (LPM), Licensing Program Analysts Christina Valerio, Reza Jamaly and Arvin Villanueva (LPAs), and Licensee, Adi Lina Tuiloma. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss facility’s failure to provide requested documentation, including staff timesheets for Administrator, Tevita Kaloulasulasu, and to address additional concerns regarding staffing expectations, payroll practices and documentation retention. Failure to provide requested documentation: It was discussed with Adi Lina the facility’s failure to provide requested documentation following an initial request made on February 9, 2026 for staff timesheets and documentation that provide proof of Administrator’s actual work hours. Despite multiple follow-ups, the requested documents had not provided within a reasonable timeframe. Per last office meeting on February 26, 2026, Adi Lina had stated she will have these documents submitted to the Department by March 2, 2026. An email reminder was sent to Adi Lina on Mach 4, 2026 but she did not respond. Adi Lina stated that she had received some recent timesheets but was still waiting for timesheets from September 2025 and October 2025. Per Adi Lina, the timesheets are typically completed by employees as hard copies when they work on their scheduled shift and are maintained in a file at the facility. However, Adi Lina stated that the hard copies for the Administrator could not be located. {1 of 3} The Department had concerns regarding the facility’s ability to maintain and produce documentation when requested by the Department. Adi Lina was informed that, as a licensee of the facility, she holds ultimate responsibility for facility operations, including maintaining staff records and ensuring that required documentation can be produced in a timely manner. A delay of one month would not be considered timely. It was also discussed to Adi Lina the importance of communication with the Department. Adi Lina was informed that if there are any barriers to providing requested documents, as a licensee, she is expected to communicate timely with the LPA and can request an extension. Adi Lina failed to respond to emails timely. Regarding administrator and payroll: Adi Lina stated that Tevita Kaloulasulasu has continuously served as the facility’s administrator since it was licensed. Adi Lina stated that Tevita is paid in cash and that no W-2 forms have been issued to him. Adi Lina stated that she has been paying him directly in cash without withholding taxes. Staffing concerns: It was discussed that prior visits to the facility, the facility appeared to have only one staff on duty during these visits, despite the requirement for two staff, based on the NCC meeting held on September 25, 2026. Adi Lina stated that she has experienced difficulties retaining staff and that some employees have walked off or called sick. Adi Lina stated that when this occurs, she goes to the facility and serve as a second staff. Administrator work schedule: Adi Lina stated that Tevita is scheduled at this facility on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 7am to 7pm. Adi Lina explained that Tevita is expected to be at this facility during scheduled time, unless there is a change and Tevita will come the following day. {2 of 3} The licensee agreed to the following: Adi Lina will submit all available timesheets for Tevita by close of business day today. Adi Lina will provide the remaining timesheets for September and October by Friday, March 13, 2026. Adi Lina will submit a written plan outlining how the facility will improve documentation retention and accessibility, including procedures to ensure that requested documents can be produce in a timely manner. Adi Lina will submit an updated LIC500 Personnel Reports for each facility operated by her, identifying the staff currently assigned to each facility. Adi Lina will ensure the facility maintains two staffing ratio in accordance with the NCC meeting. The Department will do the following: The Department will continue to conduct quarterly monitoring visits to this facility.

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.

Who holds the licence

Legacy Senior Care LLC, operates 3 licensed homes in California. Running more than one home is common and is neither good nor bad on its own.

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?
