How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living shared bedroom, 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.

May 10, 2024Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Licensee did not administer medication as prescribed Staff did not treat resident with dignity Staff handled resident roughly, resulting in bruising Licensee did not assist resident(s) with incontinence care

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Daniel Pena conducted an unannounced visit to the facility. LPA was met at the entrance by Administrator, Amsal Engdaw and Caregiver, Teresita Yap. After introducing and identifying himself, LPA was allowed in the facility. LPA discussed with Ms. Engdaw, the purpose of the visit which was to initiate a complaint investigation. Upon conclusion of the visit, LPA delivered findings to Ms. Yap. There were two (2) staff, and five (5) residents present on the day of LPA’s visit. During the visit, LPA conducted a health and safety check and did not observe any health and safety concerns. On May 3, 2024, Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) received this complaint. The allegations reported include; licensee did not administer medication as prescribed, did not assist residents with incontinence care, did not treat residents with dignity and handled residents roughly, resulting in bruising. Unsubstantiated The Department’s investigation consisted of facility inspection, review of facility and resident records and interviews with pertinent residents, staff, and outside sources. The facility is licensed to serve six elderly non-ambulatory residents, one of whom may be bedridden, and three residents receiving hospice care. LPA reviewed resident, facility, and hospice care records. The records were complete. LPA observed resident medications were packaged, organized and revealed no indication staff does not administer medications as prescribed. Interviews with residents and record reviews produced no evidence that staff do not provide incontinent assistance. Per interviews with staff, staff rotates residents every two hours and changes undergarments as needed. Residents said they were regularly rotated and changed. None of the residents expressed concerns with any of their care. None of the residents stated that staff does not afford them dignity and respect. Residents also provided no information to support the allegation that staff handles them roughly. Staff denied handling residents roughly or treating them without dignity. Staff interviews did not give LPA any indication that they do not regularly provide resident’s assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADL). During the inspection, LPA observed the facility to be neat, organized and clean. Residents were wearing clean clothing and bedding appeared clean without offensive odors. Outside source interviews offered no information to substantiate the allegations. The Department has investigated the aforementioned allegations. Based on interviews, LPA observation and review of facility and hospice records, LPA found insufficient evidence to prove the allegations occurred as reported. The preponderance of evidence standard was not met; therefore, the allegations are Unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Ms. Yap, to whom a copy of this report and Licensee/Appeals Rights (LIC 9058 01/16) were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, May 10, 2024 · control 08-AS-20240503163357

$4,500 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

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

Among 50 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Diego that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 50 other homes publishing a starting rate).

Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date between September and October 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.
