Among 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in Citrus Heights that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $5,625 a month, and the middle figure is $4,800 (n = 5 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.
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 Popo's Place take Medi-Cal?
On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this license is listed as closed. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

Starting monthly rate$4,200likely $3,450–$5,150
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 9 small homes 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.
Basic help with daily careUsually includedup to $600
Basic help is usually part of the starting rate. Homes that price care by level start around $600 a month (45 California homes publish a care-level range, seen in September 2026).
One-time move-in fee$2,000one time · likely $0–$4,000

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 license is listed as closed. 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.
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 9 small homes 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.
9 homes like this within 3 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,500–$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).

Type of visit: Case Management - Other
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabrina Calzada arrived unannounced to conduct a case management inspection to follow up on a recent incident report and hospice death reported to the facility. LPA met with Luz Jimenez, caregiver, who contacted Kim Rosa, Co-Administrator, who arrived at 3:00 pm. LPA explained reason for the inspection. LPA discussed the incident report submitted on 11/22/23 reporting resident (R1) fell when inadvertently stepping in the shower instead of putting her bottom on the shower chair first. (R1's) feet became tangled due to her knees bowing inwards. Staff was present with (R1) during the entire incident and was able to catch her, break her fall and assist her in breaking the fall to the ground. This staff was not present to interview today. (R1) was sent out to the emergency room immediately following the fall and was diagnosed with a femur fracture. There was no head injury sustained. Resident lived at the facility since 2017. LPA reviewed (R1's) physician's report, dated 12/19/22, which notes resident has a diagnosis of Dementia, is a fall risk and other diagnoses. Co-Administrator and staff stated (R1) had gout for many years, had foot pain, and began falling more often approximately a year ago. Staff placed a bedside commode next to the bed and (R1) began using a wheelchair more. Staff also indicated that (R1)'s appetite became less for the last (6) months. Care Plan completed in Dec 2022 by (R1's) health care plan notes resident needed some assistance with showers. Resident returned the next day from the hospital with updated physician's report, dated 11/23/23, and under hospice care. (R1's) family opted to forego surgery due to resident's advanced age based on physician's recommendation. Staff stated (R1) returned in a lot of pain and family was at bedside for the following (3) weeks until resident passed. Hospice records show the hospice care team made (16) visits from 11/23/23 through 12/13/23. Based on information obtained, it appears the facility followed (R1's) care plan and sent resident out timely for medical evaluation following resident complaining of pain in her knee area. There are no deficiencies issued in this report. Exit interview. Copy of report provided to Co-Administrator.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Dec 21, 2023

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.
