What does Regent Villa Retirement Home cost?
$2,750 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $2,150–$3,500. 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 9 communities with 50 or more beds within 5 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 8 other homes of a similar licensed size in Long Beach that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $2,498 to $3,835 a month, and the middle figure is $2,850 (n = 8 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.
Does Regent Villa Retirement Home take Medi-Cal?
On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home appears on the DHCS participation list, August 9, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

The license is held by Regent Villa Retirement Home Inc., per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

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 communities with 50 or more beds within 5 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 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $2,300–$4,100.
- 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).

On 7/16/2026, from 9:30am-2:30pm, the department interviewed staff (S1-S3) and residents (R1-R10). 3 of 3 staff denied the allegation that Staff do not safeguard resident's cash resources. All staff (S1-S3) stated that the Citibank account in question is the account that the residents get there social security checks deposited into. Staff stated that the formal name of the account is Resident Fund Management Service which is an account through Citibank for which residents have their checks deposited into to pay rent and once deducted; whatever is left over from that, the residents get to keep. Staff (S1) also stated that the resident went into the hospital for a long period of time and medical reported to social security about the resident being in the hospital, and social security stopped paying rent for R1. Now that the resident has returned, stated (S1) they are working to get (R1) back pay to cover their rent that social security did not pay. S1 stated that the resident has a past due balance for rent which is $1,973.20. S1 stated that resident is getting their current social security check and any Personal and Incidental (P & I) balance due them and their current rent is paid. The department interviewed residents (R1-R10) ) about the allegation and 10 of 10 residents that were interviewed denied that the facility does not safeguard their cash resources. They stated that they never had a problem with financial theft from the facility and that they deposit any checks they get from social security into the Resident Fund Management Service account. This account they stated deducts their rent and they get whatever is left from the deposit. Report Continued On LIC9099-C R1 stated that the facility explained that the Citibank account was the same account that they deposited their checks into in prior months. Once the facility explained what was going, R1 stated that they understood and realized that the facility is safeguarding their financial resources. R1 stated that they were confused and did not realize that “Citibank” was the same as what they have come to know as Resident Fund Management Service account that has deducted their rent in the past. The department reviewed the Resident Fund Management System Statement (Dated: 07/16/2026), Social Security Income Statement (Dated: 05/25/2026), Regent Villa Fax Notes to Social Security (Dated: 05/04/2026), and Tenant Ledger (Dated: 03/01/2024-07/13/2026 and observed that R1s check was being deposited into the Resident Fund Management Service account which is run by Citibank.

On 08/29/24, from 12:00pm-2:00pm, LPA interviewed staff (S1-S5) and residents (R1-R10) regarding the allegation. 5 of 5 staff (S1-S5) denied the allegation that the Staff do not allow residents to select the doctor of their choice. 5 of 5 staff (S1-S5) interviewed stated that the residents do have a choice in who their doctor will be. Staff stated that before admittance to the facility the future residents are given a choice to keep their current doctor or transition over to the in-house doctors. The in-house doctors may be more beneficial to the residents that have doctors outside of the Long Beach area because of transportation issues, stated staff. But at no time are they not allowed to keep their current doctor if they choose to. The facility can provide transportation to take them to their doctor of choice, in the Long Beach area. However, the residents will have to provide their own transportation if the primary doctor of choice is outside of the Long Beach area. LPA interviewed R1-R10 about the allegation and 10 of 10 residents that were interviewed denied the allegation that Staff do not allow residents to select the doctor of their choice.

R1-R3 stated that they decided to transition to the in-house doctors after they had a chance to interview them and come to a decision on their own. They decided that it was more convenient and cost effective to use the in-house doctors. Residents R4-R10 stated that no one in the facility tried to coerce them into using the in-house doctors against their wishes and that they are satisfied with the care and supervision provided by the in-house doctors. Based on interviews and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that the Staff do not allow residents to select the doctor of their choice. 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 cited. An exit interview was conducted with Jenni Gordon, Administrator, and a hard copy of this report was provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 29, 2024 · control 11-AS-20240822204910
