How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from

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

  • 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).
  • It cannot see this home’s specials, how it assesses care, or which rooms are open.
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 move-in 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.

Ask for the price

An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Oct 13, 2021Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff does not adhere to mask mandate

On 10/13/2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Troy Agard initiated a complaint investigation at the above facility to address the following allegation. LPA Agard was met with caregiver, Rosana Tan and explained that the purpose of the visit was to gather information. The investigation consisted of the following: LPA Agard toured the facility and conducted interviews with staff, the resident’s responsible parties and evidence provided. On 10/13/2021 LPA Agard delivered findings. Regarding the allegation: Staff does not adhere to mask mandate. It’s being alleged that a caregiver either does not wear a mask or improperly wears a mask positioned below his nose. The licensee is informing staff and families that there’s nothing that can be done about the staff not adhering to the mask policy. Continue on 9099 Substantiated The investigation revealed the following: S1 confirm that there is a staff person that is not complying with the mask mandate nor are they willing to be tested weekly. S1 states, S6 is no longer able to work with clients but performs duties such as cleaning. S2 states that they always have to “correct” S6 about wearing a mask while in the facility. “The facility staff and families are scared they or their family member might catch covid due to the persons exposure while on public transportation.” S3 states not knowing the staff person. S4 confirmed the allegation to be true and states they have received several complaints from the families regarding S6. S5 states having to remind the staff to put on their mask. “S6 usually complies when I ask them to put on their mask.” S6 states that they only wear a mask around other people regardless of being in the facility. They state, “they do not trust being tested so they do not comply because it is a violation of their constitutional right.” During an interview with witnesses the following was discovered: RP states, S6 has expressed their opinion in being against vaccination, testing and wearing a mask as reason not to follow the mask mandate. W1 states they have expressed concern to the licensee over S6 lack of compliance. “It’s alarming that the facility hasn’t done anything.” W2 states, S6 will put on a mask only when “I or the families walk into the facility and will take it off once we leave.” W2 states they have walked in many times to see S6 without a mask. LPA attempted to conduct interviews with the residents, but they were not capable of responding to interview questions. The following Provider Information Notice (PIN) was provided to the Licensee that addresses unvaccinated staff, weekly testing, mask mandate and full vaccination mandate (Nov 2021): PIN 21-32.1-ASC, PIN 21-38-ASC and PIN 21-44-ASC Based on the investigators interviews conducted with licensee, caregivers, families of the residents, and evidence provided, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22 Division (6) and Chapter (8) are being cited on the attached LIC9099-D. An exit interview was conducted with caregiver and a hard copy was provided with appeal rights. See LIC 9009-D on the next page.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Oct 13, 2021 · control 11-AS-20211006162934

What does Miko Inn cost?

$8,000 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

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

Among 8 other homes of a similar licensed size in Los Angeles that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,250 to $8,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,750 (n = 8 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 Miko Inn take Medi-Cal?

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home is not on the DHCS participation list dated October 1, 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 Tonda Corp., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Southern California Hospital at Culver City is 1.4 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Miko Inn keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 3 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
