What does Rancho Santa Fe Villa cost?
$12,000 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living private room, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 48 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Diego that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,900 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 48 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 Santa Fe Villa 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.

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.
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 worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living private room, seen September 9, 2026.
12 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,850–$6,600.
- 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) Arian Golbakhsh conducted an unannounced Case Management visit regarding a deficiency cited on 4/27/26 as well as a Plan of Correction (POC) visit to follow-up on two (2) deficiencies cited 5/13/26. LPA was welcomed by, identified themselves to, and discussed the purpose of the visit to Licensee/Administrator Ray Baha. On 4/27/26 during the facility's required annual inspection, LPA cited a deficiency for the facility locking exterior doors without having the fire clearance to do so. POC has since been met and the deficiency cleared (as of 5/22/26). However, as the violation was a Zero Tolerance Violation (ZTV), an immediate Civil Penalty of $500.00 has been assessed today as it was not assessed on the day of the deficiency on 4/27/26. Details are included on the attached LIC 421IM. On 5/13/26 LPA cited a deficiency for the facility having not met reporting requirements. POC due date was set for 5/22/26 and was: "Licensee will submit an incident report of the event to Community Care Licensing by POC due date. Licensee will review 87211 and submit to LPA by the POC due date the facility's plan to ensure ongoing compliance with reporting timelines moving forward." While the Department received an incident report on 5/15/26 for the incident that took place 4/24/26, LPA had not received the secondary POC item by the due date, nor communication from the Licensee requesting for an extension. As the Licensee failed to correct the deficiency and notify LPA by the due date, LPA conducted a POC visit to verify correction and to assess a Civil Penalty Violation for Failure to Correct. A Civil Penalty of $100.00 a day has been assessed from 5/23/26 through today's date 6/2/26 for a total of $1,100.00. Details are included on the attached LIC 421FC. Licensee was able to provide LPA POC items during the visit and LPA cleared the deficiency. POC clearance letter was provided to Licensee Baha. [Continued on LIC 809-C] [Continued from LIC 809] Additionally on 5/13/26 LPA cited a deficiency for the facility violating the right for residents to receive unopened correspondences. Please see complaint 08-AS-20260512093839 for additional information. POC due date was set for 5/15/26 and was: "Licensee will promptly provide any mail/correspondences for R1. Licensee will submit a written statement to LPA that they have provided R1 their packages and will continue to do so promptly for future packages. Licensee will submit proof to LPA by POC due date." LPA had not received POC items by the due date, nor communication from the Licensee requesting for an extension. As ten (10) working days have passed since the POC due date, LPA cannot issue a Civil Penalty for Failure to Correct. The deficiency is being re-cited today and details are included on the attached LIC 809-D page. Licensee was able to provide POC items during today's visit and LPA cleared the deficiency. LPA provided the POC clearance to Licensee/Administrator Baha. One deficiency was cited during today's visit along with two (2) Civil Penalty assessments.

Type of visit: Case Management - Deficiencies
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arian Golbakhsh conducted an unannounced Case Management visit to the facility. LPA was welcomed by, identified themselves to, and discussed the purpose of the visit to Licensee/Administrator Ray Baha. While conducting interviews and file review, LPA was informed by staff of an incident regarding a resident "a few Friday's ago," in which the resident (identified as R1) had obtained alcohol via physical mail and consumed it. Per file review and staff interviews, R1 has a documented history of alcohol and substance abuse. LPA had additionally conducted an interview with an outside source responsible for R1's care and it was revealed that the incident occurred prior to May 6th, 2026 though no specific date of the incident had been given. Community Care Licensing (CCL) had not received any notification from the facility of any such incident within the required seven (7) days. A Type B deficiency for not meeting reporting requirements was issued, and details are included on the attached LIC 809-D page. LPA offered consultation for possible next steps regarding concerns that R1 may no longer be safely able to manage their mail. Licensee/Administrator Baha stated they do not believe the incident fell under the criteria of an incident requiring notification to CCL and requested this to be included in today's report.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arian Golbakhsh conducted an unannounced Plan of Correction (POC) visit regarding a deficiency that was cited on April 27, 2026. LPA was welcomed by, identified themselves to, and discussed the purpose of the visit to Licensee/Administrator Ray Baha. On 4/27/26 LPA cited a deficiency for the facility locking all exterior doors without having the fire clearance to do so. The POC due date was set for May 25th, 2026. During an unrelated visit to the facility today, Licensee/Administrator Baha requested LPA consultation on the POC. Per Licensee Baha, they plan to continue following the POC plan by reaching out to their local fire department/fire marshal to inquire on consultation for the facility on having locked exterior doors, but that they believe the process may take more time than planned. Licensee Baha asked if LPA could extend the POC due date by an additional week and LPA agreed. The new due date for POC will be Monday, June 1st 2026. LPA examined exterior door noted and noted them to be unlocked.

Type of visit: Required - 1 Year
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arian Golbakhsh conducted an unannounced, required Annual Inspection. The facility file and personnel report was reviewed prior to the visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified themselves to, and discussed the purpose of the visit to Caregivers Weny Labuguin and Angelita Hernandez. Administrator Ray Baha arrived shortly after LPA. The facility's license shows a maximum capacity of six (6) non-ambulatory residents. Bedrooms #1, #4, #5, and #6 are approved for bedridden. Additionally, the facility is approved for a hospice waiver for six (6). During today’s inspection there were four (4) residents in care, with none currently on hospice. Note, LPA did step out from 12:50-1:50 for lunch. LPA and Administrator Baha toured the interior and exterior of the facility and inspected each room. The facility was clean, sanitary, and in good repair. Pathways were free of obstruction and slip hazards. Client bedrooms contained the required furnishings. Doors, windows, screens, toilets, and showers were in working order. Hot water temperature at taps accessible to clients were all compliant: common bathroom sink adjacent to bedroom #7 was 107.2F. Extra linens and hygiene supplies were present, as well as Personal Protective Equipment. The facility had sufficient space and equipment to facilitate dining, laundry, visitation, meetings, and client activities. The facility contained at least two (2) days of perishable food, and at least seven (7) days non-perishable food, all safely stored. Cooking, dining equipment, and utensils were present. Knives were locked and inaccessible to residents. While looking at the unlocked cabinet under the sink, LPA observed a number of cleaning chemicals. One type A deficiency was issued for the accessible chemicals to residents. Staff immediately moved the items to a locked storage room. [Continued on LIC 809-C] [Continued from LIC 809] Additionally, while touring the enclosed courtyard at the center of the home, LPA was shown the doorway to the garage area. LPA observed that the door was only lockable from the inside and was currently unlocked. Inside the garage were a number of chemicals, in addition to an accessible door into the medication/chemicals storage room. Per Administrator Baha, the facility was in the process of changing several locks (garage door included) in the home so that they are all accessible by the same key for efficiency. Administrator Baha locked the doorway from the inside and exited through the lifting garage door so that the garage was no longer accessible to residents. LPA observed that the doors to the enclosed courtyard space were unlocked, allowing for resident access. However, the exterior doors of the home leading outside were all locked aside from the front door and required a key to open. The facility does not have approval for locked exterior doors and/or a locked perimeter. Administrator Baha explained that the exterior yard is not safe for resident use and the enclosed courtyard is the designated outdoor space for resident use. One type A deficiency was cited for the unapproved locked exterior doors. Medications were labeled, as required, and stored in locked areas. No pools or bodies of water exist on the premises. Per Administrator Baha, no firearms or ammunition are kept at the facility. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, emergency lighting, and facility telephone were all in working order. Fire extinguishers were serviced within the last 12 months, dated for February 2026. First aid kit was complete and readily accessible. Required licensing postings were observed in visible areas of the facility. LPA observed a private care aid (identified as S1) who was present at the facility for their assigned resident (identified as R1). LPA requested S1's background clearance from the facility for review and was informed that they did not have it on file. Per interview with S1, it was revealed S1 was not employed by a private care agency. Upon review of the Guardian background check database, it was revealed that S1 had not undergone the LiveScan process (fingerprint submittal and background check). One Type A deficiency was issued for S1 providing care and supervision services on the premises without a required background check. LPA ensured S1 was escorted off the premises. [Continued on LIC 809-C] [Continued from LIC 809-C] While at the facility, LPA observed five (5) camera monitor systems displaying common facility areas and the inside of four (4) resident rooms, along with audio from each space. Per Administrator Baha, the responsible parties of the residents were aware of the use of cameras in private spaces and gave permission. While the use of surveillance cameras are not expressly prohibited in Title 22 regulations, efforts to protect resident privacy must be maintained by the facility and a waiver request must be submitted to the Department for camera use in private resident rooms. An audio component for video surveillance in facilities is strictly prohibited. One Type B citation was issued for the use of video and audio surveillance in private areas of the facility without Department approval. Administrator Baha turned off all five monitors. LPA interviewed two (2) staff and one (1) clients, and interviews did not reveal any additional licensing or regulatory concerns. LPA reviewed facility records.

There were at least two staff at the facility during the second shift from 7 PM to 7AM. (See additional LIC 9099-C for continuation of report.) The administrator resided at the facility and would assist when needed. Review of resident records revealed there were four residents residing at the facility. One resident did not require assistance with activities of daily living and was independent. The remaining three residents required assistance with transferring, dressing, bathing, and toileting. One of these residents employed a private caregiver Monday through Friday from approximately 9 AM to 5pm. Based on the evidence obtained the allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. It was alleged staff did not follow an admission agreement. On August 26th, 2024, it was reported to the Department that the facility did not assist Resident # 1 (R1) with daily exercises, nor room cleaning as indicated in the admission agreement. Staff reported staff would attempt to clean R1’s bedroom on a weekly basis, but R1’s spouse, who also resided at the facility, would decline and discourage staff from assisting R1. Staff would assist R1 with exercises, but R1’s health had declined and R1 spent more time sleeping or sitting on R1’s chair. Interviews with additional internal and external sources did not have any concerns with lack of bedroom cleaning, nor with the admission agreement not being followed. Based on the evidence obtained, the allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
