6 residents — a small home, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

This license was on the CDSS roster as of September 28, 2026.

What does Rancho Residential cost?

$5,050 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,150–$6,250. 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 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 51 other homes of a similar licensed size across Sacramento County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $5,000 a month, and the middle figure is $4,000 (n = 51 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 Rancho Residential 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 Rancho Residential LLC, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

Can Rancho Residential keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 5 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 24 small homes and similar homes 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.

24 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,400–$5,000.

  • 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: Required - 1 Year

On 12/02/25, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Viarella made an unannounced visit to this facility to conduct the annual inspection. This LPA identified herself upon arrival, stated the purpose of the visit, and asked to meet with the Designated Facility Administrator. LPA met with Aileen Mendoza and a brief interview followed. This was the first annual inspection of this newly licensed facility. Mendoza explained that since returning to the area last month, they and their family have been living at the facility as there were no residents in care. LPA provided technical assistance with regard to adhering to their plan of operation. LPA stated that they needed to provide an addendum to their plan of operation stating that they would be living at the facility and to provide an updated facility sketch to Community Care Licensing. The addendum must also include their plan for caring for residents should they admit any while they are still residing at the facility. As they currently have small children, additional staff would be required and designated to provide supervision for either the residents or the children. Mendoza stated that their living situation was temporary, and that they would be moving out in their near future as their family would require more room. The children would not be present at the facility and childcare would not be an issue. The inspection began in the kitchen. This LPA reviewed all the food items in the refrigerator, freezer and cabinets/pantry. LPA observed a 7-day supply of non-perishable and 2-day supply of perishable food items. All knives and sharps were locked and inaccessible to any future residents in care. This LPA then went on to inspect the residents bedrooms. Each of the 5 bedrooms had the required furniture, furnishings and lighting to be in compliance at the time of this inspection. LPA provided technical assistance regarding required drawer space. LPA Inspected the 2 resident bathrooms and provided technical assistance regarding permanent grab bars for the shower/tub unit. LPA observed that the tub had a textured surface and stated that a best practice would be to also include bath mats as the LPA was unable to determine if their surfaces were non-skid/slip. LPA observed that the bathrooms also contained soap and paper towels replaced the cloth towels. Trash cans with lids were also present and there were no toxic cleaning supplies left accessible to future residents. LPA observed that the fire extinguisher was last inspected by Jorgensen Co. on 12/02/25 and was in compliance at the time of this inspection. This LPA conducted an examination of the exterior of the building. There were no bodies of water present and the yard was completely fenced in. There was also designated area with furniture and shade for future residents to enjoy. LPA observed that all windows, window screens, and gutters were in good condition and were not in need of repair. LPA requested the following documents be submitted to Community Care Licensing on or before the close of business on 12/12/25 along with photos of the re-installed grab bars: An updated Facility Sketch An Addendum to the Plan of Operation The materials will be emailed to CCLASCPSacramentoSouthRO@dss.ca.gov or faxed to the attention of LPA Kimberly Viarella at (916) 263-4744. LPA also reminded the Licensee that they MUST NOTIFY COMMUNITY CARE LICENSING WHEN THEY ADMIT THEIR FIRST RESIDENT SO THAT THIS LPA MAY SCHEDULE A POST-LICENSING INSPECTION. According to the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 no deficiencies were cited during today's visit, a copy of this report was provided and an exit interview was conducted with Mendoza.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Dec 2, 2025

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. Can we read the dementia care disclosure and discuss how daily support works?
  4. What could change whether someone can stay here?
  5. Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
