What does Oceanview Living of San Pedro cost?

$4,700 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,650–$6,000. 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 14 communities with 50 or more beds within 10 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 121 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,094 to $5,961 a month, and the middle figure is $4,195 (n = 121 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 Oceanview Living of San Pedro take Medi-Cal?

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: we have not yet confirmed that an entry on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver list is this home’s. Ask the home: “Do you take the Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver?” The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by 9 Gem Enterprises LLC; Oceanview Living of Et Al, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center San Pedro is 0.9 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

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 14 communities with 50 or more beds within 10 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.

14 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,050–$7,300.

  • 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).

Allegation investigated: Staff do not ensure care and supervision are provided to residents. Staff does not ensure medications are dispensed as prescribed. Staff does not ensure resident records are properly maintained. Staff do not ensure residents care plans are followed Staff do not ensure residnets are accorded private visits. Staff do not ensure residents dietary plan is followed.

On August 13, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Antonine Richard conducted an unannounced follow-up complaint investigation into the above allegations and met with the Administrator Anita Csukardi to explain the purpose of the investigation. The investigation consisted of the following: On 01/30 2026, the Department requested and reviewed the facility's Residents' roster and staff roster. The Department also requested the resident records for (R1), including the face sheet, physician report, admission agreement, Medication Administration Records (MAR), physician orders, care plan and facility menu. The Department obtained staff training records and facilities notes. The Department interviewed six residents (R2-R7), three staff members (S1-S3), three Med Techs (MT1-MT3), and the Administrator (A1). On August 13, 2026, the Department interviewed Med Tech (MT1). Report continued On LIC9099C Unsubstantiated Allegation #1: Staff do not ensure care and supervision are provided to residents. The complaint alleged that residents frequently walk around the facility without using their walkers and that the staff is not attentive to their needs. On January 30, 2026, the department interviewed the Administrator (A1), who denied the allegations. A1 stated that staff checks on residents and provides assistance based on their care needs. On the same day, the department also interviewed three Med Tech (MT1-MT3), all of whom denied the allegations. They emphasized that, like Med Tech, they prioritize the residents’ needs and address any changes in their conditions. Additionally, three other staff members (S1-S3) were interviewed and also denied the allegations. They asserted that, as caregivers, they ensure that all residents’ care needs are met. The department interviewed six residents (R2-R7), who all denied the allegations and expressed satisfaction with living at the facility, stating that the staff regularly checks on them. The department could not interview R1 because R1 declined to be interviewed, and later R1’s responsible party moved them out of the facility on February 15, 2026. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation (s) did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation #2: Staff does not ensure medications are dispensed as prescribed. The complaint asserted that the medication order for resident R1 required the medication to be cut in half to reflect a change in dosage. On January 30, 2026, the department interviewed the Administrator (A1), who denied the allegation, stating that the Med Tech follow the medication records and physician’s orders. During the same visit, the department interviewed three Med Tech (MT1-MT3), all of whom also denied the allegation. On August 13, 2026, the department interviewed MT1 again, who confirmed that they comply with the doctor’s orders by cutting the pills in half as instructed. Additionally, three staff members (S1-S3) were interviewed, and they denied the allegation, stating that the Med Tech dispenses medication according to the doctor’s orders. On January 30, 2026, the department interviewed six residents (R2-R7), all of whom denied the allegation and reported receiving their medications on time. Unfortunately, the department was unable to interview resident R1, as R1 declined to be interviewed and was later moved out of the facility by the responsible party. Finally, on August 13, 2026, the department reviewed R1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) and found no discrepancies. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation (s) did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation #3: Staff does not ensure resident records are properly maintained. The complaint alleged that the resident's records were not being properly maintained. On January 30, 2026, the department interviewed the Administrator (A1), who denied the allegation and stated that the facility used a table system to organize residents' records, making it easier to locate information. Concurrently, the department interviewed three Medication Technicians (MT1-MT3), all of whom denied the allegation and affirmed that they properly maintained records, including medication records, to ensure documentation was available to residents during emergencies. Additionally, the department interviewed three staff members (S1-S3), each of whom stated that the facility used face sheets for all residents to maintain accurate records. The department also interviewed six residents (R2-R7); while all expressed some uncertainty about whether the records were being properly maintained, they believed they were. One resident, R1, declined to be interviewed, and the responsible party moved R1 out of the facility on February 15, 2026. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation (s) did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation #4: Staff do not ensure residents care plans are followed. The complaint alleged that the staff was not adhering to the R1 care plan. On January 30, 2026, the department interviewed the Administrator (A1), who denied the allegation, stating that the staff provides care based on each resident's needs and service plan. The facility staff is expected to follow the resident care plan and make any changes in residents' conditions. On the same day, the department interviewed three Medication Technicians (MT1, MT2, and MT3), all of whom denied the allegations, stating that they follow the doctor's care plan and adhere to family notes. Additionally, three other staff members (S1, S2, and S3) were interviewed, and they confirmed that they comply with the doctor's orders and follow the needs and services plans in the file. On January 30, 2026, the department interviewed six residents (R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7), all of whom also denied the allegations and stated that the staff assisted them with their Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). On August 13, 2026, the department reviewed the care plan for resident R1. The care plan indicated that R1 required assistance from one person across three shifts. The department was unable to interview R1, as R1 declined to participate. Later, on February 15, 2026, the responsible party moved R1 out of the facility. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation (s) did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation #5: Staff do not ensure residents are accorded private visits. The complaint alleged that staff members interrupted resident meetings with healthcare professionals when those meetings involved Resident 1 (R1). On January 30, 2026, the department interviewed the Administrator (A1), who denied the allegations. A1 stated that they ensured the privacy of all residents during healthcare visits and that staff would only enter the room to assist with resident safety. Additionally, the department interviewed three Med Tech (MT1, MT2 and MT3), all of whom also denied the allegations, asserting that residents were able to talk to their family, friends, and healthcare staff in their rooms. The department then conducted interviews with three other staff members (S1-S3), who similarly denied the allegations and confirmed that residents have the right to privacy, stating that meetings are held in the residents' rooms. On the same day, the department interviewed six residents (R2-R7), all of whom denied the allegations and stated that they feel their meetings are private. However, the department was unable to interview Resident R1 on January 30, 2026, because R1 declined the interview. Subsequently, on February 15, 2026, the responsible party moved R1 out of the facility. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation (s) did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation #6: Staff do not ensure residents dietary plan is followed. The complaint alleged that the staff did not adhere to Resident 1's (R1) dietary plan. R1 was not permitted to consume caffeine products; however, caffeine was found in R1's room. On January 30, 2026, the department interviewed the Administrator (A1), who denied the allegation. A1 stated that all staff members communicated residents' dietary needs to the appropriate personnel, including kitchen and care staff. According to A1, staff members would follow special dietary guidelines based on residents' needs and physician orders. During the same investigation, the department interviewed three Medical Technicians (MT1, MT2, and MT3), all of whom denied the allegation. They stated that dietary needs are met in accordance with resident information, physician orders, and individual care plans. On August 13, the department conducted a follow-up interview with MT1, who noted that R1's care plan and the physician's report contained no dietary guidelines. Additionally, the department interviewed three staff members (S1, S2, and S3), all of whom denied the allegations and assured that they follow the residents' care plans. Furthermore, on January 30, 2026, the department interviewed six residents (R2 to R7), all of whom denied the allegation and confirmed that the staff follows their dietary plans. They also expressed that they have no concerns regarding their meals. On August 13, 2026, the department records reviewed for the R1 Physician report indicate there was no special diet. Additionally, the restricted Health condition Service Plan contained no dietary plan or caffeine instructions. The department reviewed the facility's menu, which offered a variety of food and drink options. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation (s) did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. No deficiencies were cited. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to the Administrator Anita Csukardi.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 13, 2026 · control 11-AS-20260121105251

The department explained the purpose of this visit was to gather information about the complaint, gather facility files, interview staff and residents, and deliver findings for the allegation mentioned above. The investigation consisted of the following: The department investigated the allegation mentioned in this complaint and conducted interviews with Maria Galvan, Administrator (A1), staff (S1-S4) and residents (R1-R7). The department received the following documents: Resident Roster (Date: No Date), Staff Roster (Dated: 05/01/2026), Identification and Emergency Information (Dated: 01/05/2026), Physician Report (Dated: 11/18/2025, 05/07/2026), Admission Record (Dated: 10/21/2025), Pre-Placement Appraisal (Dated: 01/04/2026), Admission Agreement (Dated: 01/05/2026), RCFE Service Plan (Dated: 06/10/2026), and After Visit Summary from Providence Emergency Center (Dated:04/05/2026) from the facility. Report Continued On LIC Unsubstantiated The investigation revealed the following: Allegation- Staff did not assist a resident in care. The details of the complaint alleged that the facility’s staff did not assist resident (R1) in care. It was reported that resident (R1) asked to be taken to the smoking area because they had a previous fall and staff refused and allegedly stated that R1 should be healed by now and can go by themselves. On 5/6/2026, from 9:30am-2:00pm, the department interviewed administrator (A1), staff (S1-S4) and residents (R1-R7) regarding the allegation. The administrator (A1) and staff (S1-S3) denied the allegation and stated that they have never refused to assist a resident in care. Staff (S4) stated that the resident was upset that they were asked to leave the non-designated smoking area and to go the smoking area because they were smoking at the front entrance. S4 stated that the resident flicked their cigarette into the bushes and stated, “then you are going to take me”. S4 explained the reason that they did not wheel the resident to the smoking area is because the resident is not on escorts, which is a service that some residents use who are not able to get around without assistance. S4 further stated that the resident did not need assistance and was capable of going to the smoking area without assistance. S4 stated that eventually R1 wheeled themselves to the smoking area by themselves without further incident in their electric wheelchair. The department interviewed residents (R1-R7) about the allegation and 6 of 7 residents that were interviewed stated that staff has never refused to assist them when they have asked. While R1 stated that they were recently released from the hospital and had a sprained shoulder and was still in pain and needed help, but staff did refuse to assist them. The department reviewed Pre-Placement Appraisal (Dated: 01/04/2026), Physician Report (Dated: 11/18/2025, 05/07/2026), RCFE Service Plan (Dated: 06/10/2026), and the After Visit Summary from Providence Emergency Center (Dated:04/05/2026) and observed that R1 has used an electric wheelchair independently since they arrived at the facility and had no motor impairment or paralysis. The department also observed that the resident had a fall that resulted in a shoulder sprain and was taken to the hospital on 04/05/26. The department did not observe any documentation from that visit that specified the resident needed additional assistance or suffered any motor impairment or paralysis after their last hospital visit. Based on interviews and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that Staff did not assist a resident in care. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated. No deficiencies were found and no citations were issued for this complaint investigation. An exit interview was conducted with Maria Galvan, Executive Director, and a hard copy of this Complaint Investigation Report was provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jun 10, 2026 · control 11-AS-20260430150327

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?
