Among 195 other homes of a similar licensed size across San Diego County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 195 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.

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.

  • 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 license is listed as closed. 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 worksWhy this is a county figure

Too few nearby homes publish a rate, so this is the typical starting rate 175 small homes publish in San Diego County, with a wider likely range. This home’s own rate is not on file.

  • 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: Lack of supervision resulting in resident being touched inappropriately

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amy Domingo conducted an unannounced visit to deliver findings regarding the above complaint allegations. LPA introduced themselves and disclosed the purpose of the visit to Executive Director, Wes Hebner. On 7/1/25, it was alleged that lack of supervision resulted in a resident being touched inappropriately. The Department’s investigation consisted of unannounced facility visits, interviews with facility staff, residents, outside sources, and records review. During the visit, the LPA observed staff coverage in common areas and residential corridors. Staff were present and engaged with residents, providing assistance and maintaining line-of-sight supervision consistent with Title 22 requirements. No unsafe supervision gaps or high-risk situations were observed. The environment appeared calm and organized, and staff demonstrated awareness of resident boundaries and safety. Unsubstantiated Staff 1 (S1) denied witnessing or being informed of any inappropriate touching and described standard supervision practices, including routine rounding and immediate intervention when residents require redirection. S1 confirmed understanding of mandated reporting requirements and facility protocols for responding to allegations of abuse. Two (2) residents were interviewed; both denied experiencing or witnessing inappropriate touching and reported that staff are generally present and responsive in common areas. Outside source 1 (OS1), reported no concerns regarding supervision and stated they had not been informed of any incidents of inappropriate contact. OS1 described staff interactions as professional and consistent with resident rights. A review of facility records, including incident logs, communication notes, and staffing schedules, revealed no documented incidents confirming that a resident was touched inappropriately due to lack of supervision. Staffing schedules matched observed coverage and indicated adequate ratios with qualified personnel on duty. Training records showed staff had completed in-service training on abuse prevention, professional boundaries, and mandated reporting requirements. Facility policies addressing supervision, abuse prevention, and reporting were current and consistent with regulatory standards. Based on observations, interviews, and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that lack of supervision resulted in a resident being touched inappropriately. Therefore, the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Eric Mendoza, caregiver to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Feb 12, 2026 · control 08-AS-20250701114347

Allegation investigated: Staff gave resident medication without a physicians order

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ramin Hashemi conducted an unannounced visit to initiate a complaint investigation regarding the above-mentioned allegation and deliver the finding. LPA introduced themselves and disclosed the purpose of the visit to Caregiver Paola Castillo. It was alleged Staff gave resident medication without a physician's order. CCLD’s investigation involved an unannounced facility visit, review of facility records, interviews with facility staff, residents, outside sources, and LPA direct observations. Regarding the allegation, staff interviews revealed that as a policy, the facility staff do not administer injections. Staff 1 (S1) stated Resident 1 (R1) does not do their own injections. When asked about R1's medication management, S1 stated R1 cannot manage their own medications and they travel to an outside medication management agency for insulin injections. (continued on Page 2, LIC9099C) Unfounded (continued from Page 1, LIC9099) Resident interviews revealed that when R1 was asked about insulin injections, they confirmed they have neither administered their own insulin at the facility, nor have they had any staff members administer it for them. R1 stated they've received their insulin injections from outside medication management agency. R1 was able to corroborate staff interviews. Outside Source interviews revealed that Outside Source 1 (OS1) was not aware of R1 injecting themselves with insulin as part of their routine in the facility. OS1 confirmed R1's memory is not reliable. OS1 stated that in regards to the reporting party's incident report, it is very possible R1 could have misremembered the events when retelling the reporting party. Records Review revealed that R1 takes oral medication to manage their diabetes. The medical administration record (MAR) has no indication of injectable insulin medications. The Physician's report indicated that while there is no direct mention of a diagnosed cognitive disorder, it is stated that there is "forgetfulness" and "other specified mental disorders due to known physiological condition" which corroborated outside source accounts of R1's memory impairment. LPA observations revealed that inspection of the medications at the facility, R1 had no injectable insulin medications. All medications were prepackaged and provided by outside medication management agency and LPA was able to corroborate staff accounts of medication management. Based on records and interviews, the allegation that Staff gave resident medication without a physician's order is unfounded, meaning it was false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. The allegation has therefore been dismissed. An exit interview was conducted with the Caregiver Paola Castillo, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 5, 2025 · control 08-AS-20250829135252

Allegation investigated: Staff were administering injections to resident

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Amy Rodgers, conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit to gather additional records and deliver findings. The LPA introduced herself and disclosed the purpose of the visit to Care Giver Wendy Gomez Estrada and a spoke on the phone with Licensee Annie Nazaian. It was reported to Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) on August 16, 20204 staff were administrating medication injections to a resident. The licensees and their designated facility staff are limited to “assistance with self-administration” and are prohibited from “administering” medications, unless done so by an appropriately skilled professional acting within their scope of practice. Records reviews indicate that staff members were not authorized to administered medication injections and did not have proper medical authorization or training to administer medication injections. (continued on 9099-c) Substantiated (Continued from 9099) Throughout the investigation, the department inspected the facility, secured pertinent records and conducted interviews with staff, residents, and outside sources. Interviews with outside sources, staff, and resident confirm staff were administering medication injections to their resident. Based on interviews and records reviewed, a preponderance of evidence exists to show the Licensee did administer injections to their resident. The allegation is therefore substantiated. Deficiencies are being cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the attached LIC 9099-D). A joint plan of corrections was developed with Licensee Annie Nazaian over the phone. An exit interview was conducted in person with Care Giver Wendy Gomez Estrada and Care Giver Carolina Fuentes and over the phone with Licensee Annie Nazaian to whom a copy of this report, LIC 9099-C, LIC 9099-D, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 19, 2024 · control 08-AS-20240816153126

Who holds the licence

Lilos Tender Senior Care Inc., licensed since 2024, 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.
