What does Pleasant Hill Oasis cost?

$4,400 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,450–$5,800. 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 16 homes with 7 to 49 beds 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 33 other homes of a similar licensed size across Contra Costa County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $5,825 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 33 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 Pleasant Hill Oasis 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 Ph Senior Care LLC; Northstar Senior Living Inc., per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026. See the homes licensed to Northstar Senior Living Inc. — at least 6 on the state roster.

Is there a hospital nearby?

John Muir Medical Center-Walnut Creek Campus is 2.4 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Pleasant Hill Oasis keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 10 residents, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

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 16 homes with 7 to 49 beds 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.

16 homes like this within 3 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,350–$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).

Type of visit: Case Management - Incident

On 06/16/2026 at 12:00 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) L. Alexander arrived unannounced to conduct a Case Management visit regarding an incident report received by the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) on 05/07/2026. LPA met with Executive Director, Liza Elegado, and explained the purpose of the visit. CCLD received an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) on 05/07/2026 indicating that Resident (R1) was discovered missing during rounds conducted at approximately 3:00 AM on 05/06/2026. LPA interviewed Staff (S1), who stated that the incident occurred during the night shift. According to S1, S2 and S3 were on duty at the time of the occurrence. S1 stated that S2 was completing laundry duties while S3 was assisting another resident with a diaper change. S1 stated that during routine rounds, S2 discovered that R1 was not in their bed. S2 and S3 immediately conducted a room-to-room search of the facility but were unable to locate R1. S1 stated that S2 contacted the local police department to report R1 missing. The police department subsequently informed facility staff that R1 had been located and would be transported to the hospital emergency room for evaluation. S1 stated that law enforcement advised facility staff that R1 had sustained a fall. LIC809-C Continued... LIC809-C (Page 2) LPA requested and reviewed copies of R1's Physician's Reports (LIC 602A) dated 02/20/2025 and 06/09/2026, Face Sheet, Appraisal Needs and Services Plan, Staff Caregiver NOC Schedule for May '26, and Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) discharge notes. Review of R1's LIC 602A, dated 02/20/2025, indicated that R1 was unable to leave the facility unassisted and required "complete supervision." LPA reviewed R1's SNF discharge notes, which indicated that R1 was discharged from the hospital on 05/11/2026 following hospitalization for multifocal pneumonia and a C2 fracture sustained as a result of a fall.

Documents obtained do not suggest R1’s death was a result of neglect or lack of care for suspicious circumstances from facility staff. Based on records review, interviews conducted, and observations made, the department has investigated the above allegation of questionable death and found it to be unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation of questionable death is unsubstantiated.

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?
