  • MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
  • 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 October 1, 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.

How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 24 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.

  • 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.

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

Feb 13, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnfounded

Allegation investigated: Resident developed pressure injuries while in care. Staff left resident in soiled diapers for an extended period of time. Staff did not dispense resident’s medication as prescribed.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Becky Kennedy conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit to the facility to deliver findings on the above allegations. LPA was granted entry to the facility, after identifying herself and met with Chedly Benattia, Assistant Administrator explaining the reason for the visit. The Department’s investigation consisted of review of facility records, outside source records, and interviews with facility staff and outside sources. The investigation revealed that no resident by the name or with a date of birth identified in the complaint allegations ever resided at this facility. Based on the evidence obtained during the complaint investigation, the allegations above are UNFOUNDED, meaning the allegations against a facility are false, could not have happened, or lacks a reasonable basis.

Oct 11, 2024Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: -Licensee did not notify physician of resident’s skin tear. -Licensee did not meet other reporting requirements. -Licensee involuntary transferred a resident.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dang Nguyen conducted an unannounced subsequent visit to deliver findings regarding the above prior complaint allegations. LPA was welcomed by, identified himself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Caregiver Christopher Diaz. LPA also spoke via phone with Licensee Dr. Mohammed Rahman, during the visit. The Complainant alleged that after Resident #1 (R1) sustained a skin tear on their lower left leg, Licensee did not notify R1’s doctor, as required. They also alleged that Licensee also did not notify R1’s responsible person (RP) and CCLD, as required. They also alleged that Licensee involuntary moved R1 and Resident #2 (R2) out of the facility. [See LIC811 Confidential Names List for a description of select person identifiers used in this report.] CCLD’s investigation involved an unannounced facility tour/welfare check and interviews of pertinent staff and outside sources. The Department also reviewed relevant care records. LPA attempted to interview R1 and R2 about the above allegations, but due to their baseline memory loss, each was unable to be qualified as a reliable historian for this case. [CONTINUED ON LIC 9099-C, 1 of 2] Substantiated [CONTINUED FROM LIC 9099] At the time of the complaint allegation, R1 was being followed by a visiting nurse practitioner (NP), who operated as an extension of R1’s primary care physician (PCP), to help address R1’s health issues as they developed. Care records and interviews aligned to show that R1 was memory-impaired, wheelchair-bound, took blood-thinner medication, had very fragile skin, had a history of being prone to bruising and skin tears, and required staff assistance with bathing, among other tasks. Interviews of multiple staff and outside sources corroborated that during mid-July 2024, R1 sustained a skin tear on their lower left leg. CCLD obtained a photograph of the skin tear, showing that at one point, the open area of skin was around 3 inches long by 2 inches wide. In their interview, Staff #1 (S1) confirmed that while cleaning R1’s lower left leg with a loofah during a shower, they scrubbed too hard and accidentally caused the skin tear. S1 admitted that they did not inform either R1’s NP or PCP, or facility management. S1 also admitted they did not inform the RP until eight (8) days after it had occurred, and only after the RP had visited the facility and confronted S1 with questions about the skin tear. Interviews of the PCP and NP confirmed that facility staff did not notify them of R1’s injury. Interviews of Staff #2, Staff #3, and outside sources confirmed S1’s account, and that Licensee’s staff did not notify RP of the injury until over a week later. LPA reviewed the CCLD San Diego Regional Office’s files, finding that Licensee did not submit a written incident report regarding R1 sustaining a skin tear on their lower left leg (which was required to be done within seven days of incident occurrence). By the start of CCLD’s investigation, the skin in the affected had already scabbed over and healed, yet 2 of 2 facility Licensees/managers and 2 of 5 caregivers (who directly cared for R1) interviewed were still unaware of said earlier skin tear on R1’s leg. There was also no written documentation of this skin tear on R1’s lower left leg in the facility’s records, as was required. Interviews of facility Licensees/managers, caregivers, and outside sources aligned to show: During the time frame of the complaint, R1 and R2 were the only two residents in care at Oceanside Elderly Care Home 448. On a day in late July 2024, Licensee moved R1 and R2 to new bedrooms at Oceanside Elderly Care Home 452 (a separate CCLD-licensed care facility), to consolidate operations and reduce operating costs. Licensee did not prior notify CCLD of these transfers, or the fact that Oceanside Elderly Care Home 448 would become dormant. [CONTINUED ON LIC 9099-C, 2 of 2] [CONTINUED FROM LIC 9099-C, 1 of 2] R1 and R2, per their latest physician’s reports and care records, both suffered from memory loss. LPA interviewed each and found neither could provide informed consent to transferring facilities. Manager and outside source interviews further showed that Licensee did not notify R1’s responsible person about R1’s moving, either before, during, or after the transfer. R1’s responsible person did not consent to the transfer. Per manager interviews, Licensee did contact and receive permission from R2’s responsible person to transfer R2. LPA attempted multiple times to interview R2’s responsible person to confirm this but was unsuccessful in reaching them. Based on records and interviews, a preponderance of evidence exists to show: After R1 sustained a skin tear on their lower left leg, Licensee did not notify R1’s healthcare providers of the injury, Licensee did not meet other reporting requirements, and Licensee involuntary transferred R1. These three (3) allegations were therefore Substantiated. Deficiencies were cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the attached LIC 9099-D pages). Plans of Correction were jointly developed with the Licensee. An exit interview was conducted with Dr. Rahman, to whom a copy of this report, the LIC 9099-D pages, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided. [CONTINUED FROM LIC 9099] Per review of CCLD’s Guardian and Licensing Information System (LIS) databases, during the time frame of the complaint allegation, both S4 and S5, as well as all other current facility staff, were each fingerprinted and possessed active background clearances to work. Interviews of Licensees/managers and facility staff reiterated the same. Based on record review and interviews, the allegation that Licensee’s staff did not have current background / criminal-record clearances is Unfounded, meaning it was false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. The Department has therefore dismissed the allegation, and no deficiency was issued for it. An exit interview was conducted with Dr. Rahman, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Oct 11, 2024 · control 08-AS-20240821121132

From the deficiency page — Deficiency type: Type B · Section cited: CCR 87466 · Plan of correction due date: Nov 11, 2024

87466 Observation of the Resident: “The licensee shall ensure that residents are regularly observed for changes in physical…functioning... When changes such as…deterioration of…a physical health condition are observed, the licensee shall ensure that such changes are documented and brought to the attention of the resident’s physician and the resident’s responsible person, if any.” This requirement was not met, as evidenced by: Based on records and interviews, 1 of 2 residents (R1) had a deterioration of a physical health condition which staff observed, but Licensee did not ensure that this change was documented and brought to the attention of the resident’s physician (or their staff) and responsible person. This posed a potential health risk to persons in care.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Oct 11, 2024

Plan of correction: Licensee agreed to contact a third-party, CCLD-approved education Vendor to arrange a retraining class. The retraining will cover Skin Care for the Elderly, 87625 Managed Incontinence, 87465 Incidental Medical and Dental Care, 87466 Observation of the Resident, 87211 Reporting Requirements, and Resident’s Personal Rights (as articulated in CCLD form LIC613C-2), and will include both Licensee principals and current facility caregivers.

This requirement was not met, as evidenced by: Based on records and interviews, 1 of 2 residents (R1) had an incident which threatened their welfare/health, and Licensee did not submit a written report of the incident to the licensing agency and the person responsible for the resident within seven days of incident occurrence.

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 stand in their place.

What does Oceanside Elderly Care Home 448 cost?

$5,700 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,650–$7,000. 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 24 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 18 other homes of a similar licensed size in Oceanside that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,100 (n = 18 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 Oceanside Elderly Care Home 448 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 Vast Oceanside Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Sharp Tri-City Medical Center is 3.1 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
