What does Meraki of Sacramento cost?

$3,500 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 18 other homes of a similar licensed size in Sacramento that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $2,995 to $4,500 a month, and the middle figure is $3,650 (n = 18 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 Meraki of Sacramento 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 Stir, Anisia & Ioan, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Mercy San Juan Medical Center is 2.7 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Meraki of Sacramento keep a resident on hospice?

Not on file — the state’s record does not list hospice care on this license. Ask: “Can a resident stay here on hospice, and under what conditions?”

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 worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, seen September 9, 2026.

18 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,500–$5,700.

  • 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).

Administrator also stated that written records were not kept of R1’s decline and records found that R1 had not had regular/ required physician evaluations since 2021 to 8/30/24. R1 had a diagnosis of Dementia. Lastly, the medication review and interview with Administrator found that R1 had their medications refilled on 8/26/24 yet Administrator held all of R1's medications , 8/26/24- 8/31/24, because Administrator was concerned about possible adverse effects given R1’s condition. There was not medication hold issued by a physician. On 9/10/24, Administrator also stated that they have been operating the home for the licensee and in doing so, are currently leasing the home from the licensee. LPA directed the Administrator to discontinue the lease so that the licensee reestablishes control of property. Report continued On 9/12/24, LPA conducted follow- up interviews with the following: A Southern CA tele-health service who wrote an LIC 602 physician’s report dated 8/30/24 for R1- a physician’s assistant (PA) conducted the phone evaluation. R1 was unable to participate in the evaluation due to dementia. Height, weight and blood pressure were not assessed. The facility does not have a waiver in place for a non-physician medical profession to conduct and sign the evaluation. An area health care provider was contacted by Administrator on 8/28/24 to enroll R1 and to establish Hospice Serviced. Hospice services were approved to begin 9/4/24. The provider provided a death certificate that listed: immediate cause of death as (A) advanced dementia, Parkinson’s disease- onset 10 years; underlying cause of A- poor oral intake with a time for “6 mo”; weight loss – “3 m”; and failure to thrive “1 mo”. LPA contacted a family member contact- R1’s family member described R1’s passing as sudden but not unexpected as R1 had been declining since a 2021 hospitalization. Described the care at the facility as very good- R1 gained weight after admission as R1’s food intake had increased at the home. Family had not seen R1 in “many months”. Family was not informed of R1’s recent decline. Family was notified of R1’s passing by the coroner on 8/31/24. These findings demonstrate that Administrator, Darius Stir, did not fulfill the duties and responsibilities of administrator, while Samantha Shaw was absent, when Darius Stir did not demonstrate knowledge of the requirements for providing care and supervision appropriate to the residents; nor did he demonstrate knowledge of and ability to conform to the applicable laws, rules and regulations. Report continued Since the LPA visit of 9/10/24, three residents have been sent for medical care. Administrator will submit incident reports for each within 7 days of resident hospitalization. LPA observed 6 of 9 residents present. resident care needs appear to be met by 2 caregivers. 3 of 9 residents are currently not present and are at the hospital. As a result of this inspection, the following deficiencies were cited on 809-D, per Title 22 Regulations, Division 6. (A)This poses an immediate Health and Safety risk to clients/residents in care. (B) This poses a potential Health and Safety risk, or personal rights violation, to clients/residents in care. An immediate civil penalty in the amount of $500.00 is to be assessed for a resident sustaining a serious bodily injury while in care at this facility. As a result of resident’s injury, the violation warrants a civil penalty assessment based on health and safety code 1569.49. At this time, the civil penalty assessment is under review. LPA will return at a future date to assess a civil penalty if warranted. Report reviewed. Copy of report and appeal rights providedthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 12, 2024

An “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing — it means the state investigated and could not confirm the allegation.

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?
