What does Montgomery Springs Manor cost?

$3,000 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 33 other homes of a similar licensed size across Alameda County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,000 to $5,801 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 33 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 Montgomery Springs Manor 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.

The license is held by Ltp Horizons, LLC, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Sutter Eden Medical Center 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.

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 worksWhere this price comes from

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

10 homes like this within 4 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,000–$7,450.

  • 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).

Aug 14, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: -Staff do not provide modified diet to resident. -Staff do not provide appropriate care to the resident.

On this day, August 14, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Delmundo arrived unannounced to investigate the above allegations and met with staff, Jonalyn Legarto. LPA called and spoke with Mirriam Paras, administrator (ADM), and informed the reason for visit. ADM arrived at around 12:17 pm. LPA reviewed residents's files and obtained copies of the following documents: LIC601 Identification and Emergency Information; Face Sheet; LIC602A Physician's Reports; doctor's order; facility notes. LPA inteviewed staff (S1, S2, S3 and ADM) and residents (R1, R2, R3, R4), and conducted inspection. Allegation: Staff do not provide modified diet to resident. Reporting party (RP) reported that resident (R1) indicated calling R1's social worker and the facility staff has been advised to give R1 soft foods; however, according to R1, R1 is not being fed with food R1 can eat. ....continued on 9099C(page 2) Unsubstantiated Page 2 Review of R1's record showed request to update R1's diet order to reflect R1's preference which the doctor approved. Approved order showed low-fat diet, cut-up texture, thin liquid with special instruction of no milk, apples, nuts and to provide R1 softer food and food preferred by R1 such as tender meat with sauces, soft fruits such as bananas, fruit cups, apple sauce and soft vegetables. LPA observed the meal served for lunch on this day consisted of pasta with ground meat, steamed vegetables and fresh fruit for dessert. LPA observed the dinner prepared by S1 consisted of mash potato, tender chicken with sauce and steamed vegetables. Food supplies were inspected and observed of different varieties which includes apple sauce, fruit cups, canned mixed fruits, fresh bananas and other fresh fruits. Review of other resident's LIC602A showed R2 and R3 with special diet. R2 stated the staff does not give R2 food that is indicated in LIC602A not to be given to R2. R2 stated she can not have food with tomato and tomato sauce and that she is given other meal option when food to be served has tomato and/or tomato sauce. R3 stated she is happy with the food serve. R4 who is not on special diet stated he is given option when the meal is that of R4's preference. R1 stated staff cut the food serve to her to small pieces. All staff interviewed stated R1 is served soft food. S2 and S3 stated R1 is served food cut into pieces. S1 also stated she cuts the food served to R1 except burrito because R1 does like it to be cut. R1 has fruit cups. Based on information obtained, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: Staff do not provide appropriate care to the resident. RP stated that R1 feels that R1's care needs are neglected by staff. The 2 staff who are providing assistance to R1 denied the allegation and stated that whenever R1 calls for help, they assist. They assist other residents who need assistance. ......continued on 9099C (page 3) Page 3 R1 stated staff assist her with activities of daily living (ADLs) and when she calls for help. Two of the other 3 residents stated the staff assist them whenever they need help while one of these 3 residents stated not needing assistance with ADLs. One of these 3 residents stated not observing staff not providing assistance whenever R1 calls for help. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Based on interviews, inspection, observation and records review, the 2 allegations are unsubstantiated. A finding that a complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. No deficiency cited. Exit interview conducted and copy of this report provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 14, 2025 · control 15-AS-20250808113155

All 4 staff interviewed stated residents are never serve hard bread and/or stale food. LPA inspected the food supplies and didn't observed stale and/or expired food. Resident (R1) stated the staff serve bread that is hard and stale. Three out of the 5 other residents stated food serve is good and that staff never serve stale food. Due to medical diagnosis, LPA was not able to obtain information from the other 2 residents. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: Staff allow residents to be left in soiled clothing for extended periods of time. R1 stated staff do not change residents out of their urine filled diapers and will leave them in soiled diapers all day. LPA conducted inspection and did not observed any resident smelling urine or soaking wet. The 3 staff stated they change residents who need assistance in changing diapers at least 3x during their shift. ADM stated residents are changed 9x in 24 hours and as needed. Two out of the 5 other residents can toilet on their own. One of these 5 residents stated wearing diaper but does not need assistance in changing. Due to medical diagnosis, LPA was not able to obtain information from the other 2 residents. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: Staff does not ensure residents receive adequate hydration. R1 stated that the staff do not provide water or other fluids to residents to drink throughout the day except during meal time. All four staff interviewed stated residents are provided water, juice, coffee and/or tea during meals. Water is also provided during snacks time and when medications are administered. Three out of 5 residents stated they are provided water and juice during meals. They also stated they have water containers in their rooms which the staff filled regularly.

No deficiency cited. Exit interview conducted and copy of this report provided. Page 2 Allegation: Staff do not provide meal substitutions for residents in care. R1 stated that R1 has a hard time eating and cannot eat the meat but the staff do not offer substitute. LPA reviewed R1's file which didn't indicate R1 cannot eat meat.

One of these 4 stated stated that R1 began complaining of not wanting to eat meat about 4, 5 days ago, but R1 ate hamburger 2 days ago. R1 wants R1's food cut into pieces in front of R1, which the staff do. Therefore, the allegation is unfounded. Allegation: Staff does not ensure facility has adequate food supply for residents in care. The 3 staff stated that ADM does food shopping 2x a month which LPA confirmed with ADM. All these 4 staff stated they never run out of food supplies. LPA inspected the food supplies and observed more than adequate. Therefore, the allegation is unfounded.

LPA checked the 5 staff records which showed all of them have current First Aid certificate. Therefore, the allegation is unfounded. Based on interviews, records review, inspection and observation, the 3 allegations are closed as unfounded. A finding that the complaint is unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. No deficiency cited.

It was further alleged that staff (S2) laughed at R1 when R1 asked for lighter. ...........continued on 9099C (page 2) Unsubstantiated Page 2 R1 stated S1 yelled at R1 when R1 asked for help. R1 also stated when she asked S2 for lighter because her lighter is broken, S2 did not provide and instead laughed at her. Both S1 and S2 denied the allegation.

One out of the 8 residents stated hearing S1 screamed back when R1 screamed at S1 but does not know what transpired and where it happened. The other resident stated he maybe in his room when the incident about the lighter happened. Due to the medical diagnosis of the other resident, LPA was not able to obtain information. Based on information obtained, there's not enough preponderance of evidence to prove that a violation occurred, therefore the allegation is closed as unsubstantiated. Allegation: Staff does not respond to resident's request in a timely manner. R1 stated when R1 called S1 to help care for her room mate, S1 will not come. R1 also stated when she had something red on her ear and thought it was blood, S1 provided R1 a napkin to blot her ear. S1 did not call 9-1-1 and R1 called 9-1-1 herself. R1 stated it was not blood but a piece of red plastic of unknown origin. S1 stated she attended to R1 when R1 called her about the blood in R1's ear. S1 stated she checked R1's ear and observed a red dot on the middle outside part of R1's left ear and it's not blood so she gave R1 a napkin but R1 scolded her and called 9-1-1 herself. ADM stated the incident was reported to her by S1. All staff interviewed stated R1 does not provide care to R1. One of the resident (R6) stated he does not think R1 takes care of R1 and that what R1 thinks of care is down playing others. Due to medical diagnosis, LPA was not able to obtain information from R1's room mate. Based on information obtained, there's not enough preponderance of evidence to prove that a violation occurred, therefore the allegation is closed as unsubstantiated. ....continued on 9099C (page 3) Page 3 Allegation: Staff does not provide resident a safe environment. R1 stated R2 makes R1 feel threatened, R3 does not allow R1 eat with the rest of the residents and staff are not doing anything about it. R1 also stated that she is not allowed to eat in her room.

LPA observed R1 eating in the dining room with other residents. LPA also observed during investigation 2 residents eating in their rooms. LPA was not able to get information from R2 and R3 regarding the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: Staff does not provide adequate food service to resident. R1 stated S1 would not provide alternative food options and serves certain foods S1 cannot eat. R1 also stated that on 11/19/24, she asked S3 for sandwich because she can not eat meat and S3 did not give her sandwich. S1 stated residents are given substitute if they do not want the food served. S3 stated when R1 asked for sandwich on 11/19/24, she gave R1 peanut butter sandwich and R1 ate the sandwich, pork stroganoff and half of the pasta that was served to R1 that day.

CDSS citation definitions (PDF) ↗ · CDSS complaint outcomes ↗

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?
