What does New World Villa South cost?
$4,900 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,000–$6,050. 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 small homes and similar homes within 3 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 8 other homes of a similar licensed size in Poway that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,250 to $7,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,250 (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 New World Villa South 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 New World Opco LLC, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026. See the homes licensed to New World Opco LLC — at least 2 on the state roster.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Palomar Ucsd Medical Center Poway is 1.8 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
Can New World Villa South 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?”

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.
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 small homes and similar homes within 3 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 3 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,550–$7,000.
- 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).

May 11, 2026Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: False statements Licensee did not follow reporting requirements
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kennedy conducted an unannounced visit to conclude a complaint investigation. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by Vicky Bayani, identified herself, and was granted entry into the facility. LPA met with Vicky Bayani, to whom the purpose of the visit was explained. The Department’s investigation included staff and outside source interviews, as well as a review of facility and external records. On November 6, 2025, the Department received a complaint alleging that the Licensee made false statements and failed to meet reporting requirements. These allegations stemmed from a prior complaint received on October 29, 2025, which alleged thefts committed by Staff 1 (S1) involving Resident 1 (R1), Staff 2 (S2), Staff 3 (S3), and facility belongings. Substantiated The complaint filed on October 29, 2025, was investigated and determined to be substantiated. As a result, the Department issued a lifetime exclusion prohibiting S1 from employment at any state licensed facility. During the October 29, 2025, complaint investigation, interviews and record reviews indicated that the Administrator (ADM) and Licensee were aware of thefts committed by S1. An interview with S2 revealed that staff had noticed missing belongings, including jewelry belonging to R1 and S3. S2 also reported their personal credit card had gone missing. Interviews with S2 and Staff 4 (S4), along with corroborating records, confirmed that the ADM and Licensee had knowledge of the thefts, which were not reported to the Department. Record reviews included written communication from the ADM directing S1 to return stolen items. These items were subsequently returned to the facility and to the rightful owners. Records dated November 6, 2025, documented the Licensee sending a message to the ADM regarding the identification number (IMEI) of the stolen facility phone to confirm that the phone returned by the individual who purchased it from S1 was, in fact, the phone that belonged to the facility. In the same communication, the Licensee informed the ADM that the phone “did not matter anymore” because both the phone and the phone number had been removed from their records. Additionally, during a collateral visit conducted on November 6, 2025, S4 corroborated that the Licensee had knowledge of S1’s thefts. On August 28, 2025, the Department conducted an unannounced facility visit and subsequently held an office meeting with the Licensee and S4 at the San Diego Regional Office (SDRO). During the meeting, the Licensee was questioned regarding the Change of Ownership (CHOW) application received by the Department on 9-8-25. When asked whether they had followed CHOW procedures and protocols required by state mandate, the Licensee stated they were unaware of the requirements. On December 17, 2025, the Department received a letter from the Licensee stating they had no knowledge of any thefts and that they had relinquished ownership of the facility to the ADM in May 2025. During a collateral interview, S4 reported receiving a phone call from the Department in June 2025 regarding the CHOW application submitted by the Licensee. S4 stated they had no prior knowledge that the Licensee had submitted the application in May 2025. S4 also stated that immediately after receiving the Department’s notification, they discussed CHOW requirements with the Licensee, outlined the mandated steps, and asked the Licensee whether they had complied. This included verifying whether the Licensee had issued written notification to residents and/or Responsible Parties (RPs) and the Department regarding the intent to sell the facility. Subsequently, on June 26, 2026, the Department received an email from the Licensee disclosing the facility will be undergoing a CHOW that will go into effect in 60 days. An interview with Outside Source 1 (OS1) further revealed that the Licensee had previously been informed of CHOW procedures and requirements when they acquired two facilities via CHOW in May 2021. This information contradicts the Licensee’s statement made during the August 28, 2025, office meeting, claiming they were unaware of CHOW requirements. Per Title 22, California Code of Regulations (CCR), Division 6, Chapter 8, Section 87109, the Licensee is required to comply with the provisions of Health and Safety (H&S) Code 1569.191, which establishes requirements for the sale or transfer of a licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE). H&S Code 1569.191 requires a Licensee intending to sell or transfer the facility property or business must provide written notice to the Department and to each resident or their legal representative at least 30 days prior to the transfer, or at the time a bona fide offer is made, whichever period is longer. Any resident admitted after the notification period must also be informed in writing of the Licensee’s intent to sell or transfer the facility prior to signing an admission agreement. The Licensee is also required to ensure that a copy of the written notice is sent to the licensing agency. An interview with Resident1 (R1) confirmed that they had no knowledge of the Licensee and believed the ADM was the owner (Licensee) of the facility. An interview with the ADM disclosed no knowledge of the Licensee providing any notification to staff, residents, or their RPs. The ADM reported that they personally sent text message notifications to residents’ RPs stating that they were the new owner. These notifications were sent months after the CHOW application had been submitted to the Department and after the ADM’s purchase of the facility. On January 9, 2026, the Department emailed a request to the Licensee for copies of the required written notifications provided to each resident or their Responsible Party (RP), as mandated by state regulations. The Department did not receive a response. A review of facility records revealed that the CHOW application submitted to the Department has not been approved to date. Therefore, the Licensee remains the legal owner and is still the responsible party for the facility. Based on interviews and records reviews, the Department determined the above-mentioned allegations to be substantiated. A substantiated finding means that the preponderance of evidence standard was met, indicating that the allegations are valid. An exit interview was conducted withVicky Bayani. A copy of this report, along with LIC 9099D and Appeal Rights (LIC 9058), was provided.

Allegation investigated: Resident sustained an injury due to lack of supervision
On 4/21/2026, LPA Grace Donato conducted a telephone interview with the facility to deliver findings. LPA spoke with Zayden Chen and explained the purpose of the call. For the allegation of resident sustained an injury due to lack of supervision, reporting party (RP) stated that a resident (R1), had fallen down on the floor in two consecutive days. On the second incident, R1 sustained head injury and was sent to hospital. On 10/22/2024, R1 had a mechanical fall injury. R1 accidentally tripped and fell while using the bathroom sustaining a one-inch laceration on the head. Facility staff (S1) called 911, paramedics arrived and R1 was sent to hospital. An unusual incident/injury report was made to Community Care Licensing (CCL). page 1 of 2 Unsubstantiated R1s family member (F1) stated that F1 took R1 to hospital on 10/21/2024, for an evaluation of shortness of breath. R1 had no respiratory distress and was not admitted as there was no evidence or respiratory distress at that time, therefore there was no unusual incident/injury report made to CCL. Based on the corroborating evidence and statements made by staff and family there is no evidence to show neglect/lack of care of supervision resulting in serious bodily injury or delayed medical care of R1. Based on interviews, observations and records review, the department has determined that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Allegation investigated: Personal Rights Licensee did not address theft
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Correia conducted an unannounced visit to conclude a complaint investigation. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by Caregiver Bayani, identified herself, was granted entry into the facility, and explained the purpose of the visit. The Department’s investigation included interviews with staff and outside sources, as well as a review of facility and external records. On October 29, 2025, the Department received a complaint alleging theft by a staff member (S1) involving a resident (R1) and the facility’s dedicated iPhone. It was further alleged that the facility Administrator (ADM) and Licensee were aware of the thefts but failed to take sufficient action to address the ongoing abuse. [Continued of LIC 9099C] Substantiated [Continuation of LIC 9099] On November 5, 2025, the Department visited the facility and interviewed R1, who stated that the incident occurred approximately two months earlier. According to R1, the bracelet had been placed on a nightstand next to their recliner at approximately 9:00 p.m., but the following morning it was missing. R1 believed the bracelet had been taken and later returned four days afterward by S1. The Department subsequently interviewed S1, who acknowledged awareness of both the missing bracelet and the missing facility phone but denied involvement in the disappearance of either item. S1 also claimed not to know how the items were eventually located. The Department interviewed three additional staff members (S2, S3, and S4) who were working during the period of the alleged thefts. S2 and S3 reported that items began disappearing after S1 was hired. S2 believed the facility’s iPhone had been taken by S1, as S1 was the only staff member on shift when the phone went missing. Staff also reported other missing items, including jewelry and debit cards, following shifts worked by S1. S4 disclosed that they personally observed the facility’s red iPhone at S1’s residence and believed it had been given to S1’s landlord (OS1) as payment for past-due rent. OS1 was interviewed and confirmed that S1 had provided them with a red phone as collateral. The phone was later given to S4, who returned it to the facility. OS1 also reported that S1 was subsequently evicted for being two months behind on rent. On November 5, 2025, the Department interviewed ADM, who admitted being aware of the thefts. ADM stated that after learning of the missing items, they informed all staff that if the facility phone and jewelry were not returned by October 21, 2025, law enforcement would be contacted. ADM reported that on October 20, 2025, S1 called and confessed to taking R1’s bracelet. ADM met S1 in a public location to retrieve the bracelet and returned it to R1. S4 also located and retrieved the missing phone from S1’s landlord. It should be noted that the phone had been reported missing two months before S4’s employment began. [Continued on LIC 9099C] [Continuation of LIC 9099C] Upon being notified of the Department’s investigation on November 5, 2025, ADM sent S1 a text message notifying them of termination. On November 6, 2025, the Department received screenshots of text messages between ADM and facility staff confirming ADM’s awareness of the thefts and the ultimatum given to staff to come forward. During ADM’s interview, they explained that they were new to the business and unfamiliar with all regulatory requirements. ADM stated they attempted to give S1 a second chance based on personal cultural values. ADM assumed operational responsibilities in May 2025 after negotiating a contract with the Licensee. A review of facility records confirmed that an application for Change of Ownership (CHOW) was submitted on September 19, 2025, but had not yet been approved. Therefore, the Licensee remained the legal owner and responsible for the facility’s compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. On December 16, 2025, the Department interviewed the Licensee (LIC), who stated that the business had been sold to ADM in May 2025, at which time “day-to-day operational control” was transferred. LIC acknowledged being the “licensee of record” but denied any knowledge of S1 or the thefts. A review of records obtained on November 6, 2025, included a private text message exchange between ADM and LIC containing screenshots of a red phone. ADM asked, “Is this the phone?” LIC responded, “It doesn’t matter to me anymore. That phone and phone number is off our account.” LIC then provided an IMEI number, which indicated a match for the IMEI of the facility’s stolen phone. [Continued on LIC 9099C] [Continuation of LIC 9099C] Based on interviews and records reviewed, a preponderance of evidence indicates that on or before October 20, 2025, S1 committed thefts within the facility, including stealing a resident’s $2,000 bracelet and the facility’s iPhone. Interviews with ADM and staff (S2–S4), along with record review, further corroborated that facility management was aware of the thefts as of October 20, 2025. Per Health & Safety Code §1569.153, reports are to be made to local law enforcement within 36 hours when the administrator of the facility has reason to believe resident property with a then current value of one hundred dollars ($ 100) or more has been stolen. Despite this, ADM did not meet mandated reporting requirements or take action to protect residents until being notified of the Department’s investigation on November 5, 2025, at which point ADM sent S1 a text message to terminate their employment. On November 7, 2025, the Department issued and served an immediate exclusion order prohibiting S1’s employment or presence in any state-licensed facility or Home Care Organization (HCO). [See LIC 811 for Confidential Names] Based on observation, interview and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met and both allegations are substantiated. Deficiencies were cited in accordance with Chapter 8, Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations and are listed on the attached LIC 9099(d). An exit interview was conducted with Caregiver Bayani. A copy of this report, along with the LIC 9099(d) and Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC 9058) was provided to Caregiver Bayani and emailed to Licensee at the conclusion of the visit.

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.
- What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
- Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
- Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
- What could change whether someone can stay here?
- Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
