What does Lynne & Roy M Frank Residences cost?

$5,950 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,650–$7,550. 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 10 communities with 50 or more beds 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 10 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Francisco that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $6,000 to $8,595 a month, and the middle figure is $7,148 (n = 10 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 Lynne & Roy M Frank Residences 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 Hebrew Home for Aged Disabled, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

California Pacific Medical Center - Mission Bernal Campus and Orthopedic Institute 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.

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 10 communities with 50 or more beds 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.

10 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,200–$8,700.

  • 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).

On 02/04/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Yi Sam Jian conducted an unnannounced complaint visit. LPA met with Assistant Administrator, Gloria Vo, Administrator, Robert Sarison. LPA explained the purpose of the visit. Regarding the allegation that staffs are not bathing residents in care, the Department conducted investigation.

Upon review facility records, LPA was unable to find corroborating evidence supporting the allegation. Regarding the allegation that staff administered a medication that was not prescribed to a resident in care, the Department conducted investigation. Medication Administration Records (MARs) for residents in care were reviewed and did not identify evidence that residents were administered medications without a physician’s order. Residents interviewed did not report receiving incorrect medications. CONT TO 9099C Unsubstantiated Regarding the allegation that staff did not prevent residents from eloping from the facility, the Department conducted investigation. Interviews with residents did not indicate that residents left the facility without staff awareness or supervision. Facility records reviewed did not document any resident elopement incidents. Regarding the allegation that staff left residents in soiled diapers for a long period of time, the Department conducted investigation. Interviews with residents did not support the allegation, and residents did not report being left in soiled diapers or clothing. No documentation or additional evidence was obtained to corroborate the allegation.

Document review and resident interviews did not identify evidence that residents’ dietary plans were not being followed.

The complaint alleged that client C1 was administered medications that did belong to another individual. The LPA determined there was conflicting information indicating that C1 did not reside at the facility, and there was insufficient corroborating evidence to substantiate the allegation. Although the above 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 allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted.

Allegation investigated: Licensee does not ensure sufficient staffing to meet residents’ care needs

On 8/8/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Grace Donato conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit. LPA met with Sandra Peret, Edwina Tang, Rob Sarison and explained the purpose of today's visit. Regarding the allegation of Licensee does not ensure sufficient staffing to meet residents’ care needs., Reporting Party (RP) stated that the residents in the memory care unit, especially those who cannot speak, are being neglected by staff because the facility is short staffed, so the residents’ care needs are not being met. RP states the residents are often left in their rooms and forgotten about. LPA was able to interview RP, and an additional information was provided stating that a resident (R1) who stays in memory care always sleeps in the room and doesn't get fed. You can tell every time you go that there is not enough staff. Sometimes the caregivers who are in memory care goes to assisted living. Unsubstantiated LPA interviewed four staff members. All mentioned that there is no issue with regards to staffing in the facility. A staff, S3, mentioned that if there are call outs it still gets covered. Staff are also able to manage feeding without issues. Each staff interviewed has 4 to 5 residents assigned under their care. S2 also mentioned that if needed, calls another person for additional assistance. During the interview, S1 also mentioned that there is a resident (R1), has been slow in responding and can't balance anymore, eats a little bit and slowly eats or chews. S2 also confirmed that R1 is a non-verbal resident, a slow eater and has difficulty in feeding. R1 used to attend activities before and sometimes participates depending on the condition. S5 stated that there are floaters who can work both in memory care and assisted living. They are cross trained in case needed. Based on records review, the facility provided the schedule in memory care unit there is currently 4 neighborhoods where residents live. For each neighborhood there are two to three caregivers (depending on the number of residents). Aside from that there is also a nurse on shift, three med techs, two floaters and activity coordinators. LPA also checked the progress notes and meal logs for R1 and it showed that R1 is eating less and less. Records also show that facility reached out to responsible party regarding R1’s slow decline and referral to hospice. Based on interviews & records review, the department has determined that 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.

Mar 25, 2024Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: - Licensee neglect resulted in resident developing pressure injuries - Staff did not report pressure injuries to resident's responsible party - Staff not properly trained in dementia care

LPA Jeung reviewed staff training records. Based on review of facility records--including Clinical Notes, Care Plan, ADL Report Logs, correspondence and staff training transcripts--as well as interviews with staff, these allegations are determined to be substantiated. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met. On May 2, 2023--ten days after testing positive for COVID and isolating in his room--client #1 was observed by caregiver with pressure injuries. Two pressure injuries on the coccyx were subsequently observed by visiting family member two days later and reported to facility staff the following day. Client's physician was immediately consulted when assistant director of health and wellness became aware of the injuries, and a plan of care was implemented for the stage I and stage II pressure ulcers, including home health nursing. Earlier observation by staff during assistance with personal care could have resulted in more timely medical intervention. According to visiting nurse assessments, the wounds healed within 6 weeks. ......Continued Substantiated Staff training records for 3 caregivers in memory care unit 3 are reviewed today. This does not include one agency staff, for which there is no information about what dementia training was received. Two staff were required to have at least 12 hours of dementia specific training, as part of initial training. One caregiver was required to have at least 8 hours of dementia specific training, as part of annual continuing training. There is no documentation to verify that two new staff received 12 hours of dementia specific training, and there was documentation of just 5.5 hours of annual continuing dementia training for one caregiver.

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?
