What does Oak Tree Ranch cost?

$5,250 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,300–$6,500. 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 11 small homes and similar homes within 5 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 23 other homes of a similar licensed size in Santa Rosa that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $5,125 to $7,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,550 (n = 23 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 Oak Tree Ranch 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 Baumgartner, Patricia, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Sonoma Specialty Hospital is 3.9 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Oak Tree Ranch keep a resident on hospice?

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 worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 11 small homes and similar homes within 5 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.

11 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $5,000–$7,500.

  • 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).

Based on police records #SD240880063 obtained by LPA, on 3/28/24 at approximate 1:01pm, resident (R1) walked out the facility and was being aggressive to staff (S1) walking down the street and S1 was with R1 at all times. During today's visit, LPA reviewed R1's care plan and physician report dated 3/9/24 who has a diagnosis of dementia. R1's care plan indicates that R1 needs general supervision due to confusion and wandering. Based on interviews with staff (S1), it was confirmed that they were following R1 at all times to ensure their safety while they were wandering away of the facility. Per Administrator, they were in the facility and attempted to re-direct R1, but R1 wanted to keep walking away from the facility, so they had S1 following them around. However, the facility did not notify CCL regarding the incident. LPA had a discussion with Administrator clarifying when an incident report needs to be submitted to CCL.

Mar 7, 2024Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: -Staff do not maintain facility sanitary. -Staff do not maintain facility in good repair.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cuadra arrived unannounced to conduct a complaint investigation and deliver findings regarding the above allegations and met with Administrator Pamela Johnson. The Department received an allegation of staff did not maintain facility sanitary. Per anonymous reporting party, the toilet in the second bathroom has mold and black water in it. Also, it was alleged that the wood on the deck at the front entrance of the facility is rotten. During the investigation, on 1/26/24 LPA/staff toured, made observations at the facility including all bathrooms used by residents in care. During the tour of the physical plant the bathrooms appeared clean, free of odors and sanitary. Based on LPA’s observations, the wood on the deck located at the front entrance of the facility was in acceptable condition, no rotten issues were observed. LPA conducted interviews with staff and residents on 1/26/2024 who did not express any concerns about the physical plant of the facility. Continue on LIC9099C... Unsubstantiated Continues from LIC9099... Based on LPA’s interviews and observations, LPA has determined and confirmed that although the bathrooms were clean and in a sanitary condition on recent LPA inspection conducted on 1/26/2024, LPA is unable to determine if an area of the facility was unclean or unsanitary condition at a prior date. A finding that the complaint allegation occurred of staff did not maintain facility sanitary is unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Regarding the allegation, staff do not maintain the facility in good repair. Per anonymous reporting party, the knobs in the shower in the first bathroom are hard to turn, the third bathroom is under construction and doesn't have a toilet in it. Also, it was alleged that a wall in bedroom number five doesn't have electricity, the facility's electricity comes from "an electrical cord that runs through a threshold into the facility”, and they didn't know where the source of the electricity comes from. Based on LPA’s interviews conducted with Administrator, the facility has started the remodeling process about two months ago, they ensured LPA that there is not going to be any structure changes other than upgrading the flooring, toileting, and painting to the bathroom. On 1/26/24, LPA conducted an unannounced visit to the facility, toured the facility inside and outside, LPA/Administrator confirmed that bathroom #3 is under construction, it was locked during visit and there was no toilet in it. However, the facility has accommodated residents to use other available bathrooms as follows: Resident located in bedroom #1 has a bathroom that is working properly inside their bedroom. Resident located in bedroom #2 uses bathroom #2 for showering and toileting. Residents located in bedroom #3 and 6 who were using bathroom #3 that is currently under construction were instructed to use bathroom #2. Bedroom #5 is vacant at the time of visit. Bedroom#6 has a bathroom inside the room that it is working properly. LPA also reached out to Sonoma County Code Enforcement who confirmed that new toilets and floors do not require a permit, unless they are installing new plumbing, electrical lines, or anything structural with the existing walls. Regarding the electricity issue, Administrator LPA that GFI breaker popped up and it was fixed the same day. During LPA’s visit on 1/26/24, all bedroom’s light fixtures, wall outlets have electricity and there were no electrical cords running by a threshold observed in bedrooms. Based on LPA’s interviews and observations, LPA has determined that facility did ensure that building is safe and in good repair for the safety and well-being of residents in care. Therefore, LPA was unable to either prove or disprove the above allegation. A finding that the complaint allegation occurred of staff do not maintain the facility in good repair is unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 7, 2024 · control 21-AS-20240124112117

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?
