This home’s own rate is not on file. Ask: “What is the all-in monthly rate, and what would push it higher?” Too few homes publish a rate here, so this is the middle of Covelight’s researched range for small care homes in California (compiled June 2026). This home’s own rate is not on file. 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 Retirement Living take Medi-Cal?
