$4,100 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living one bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 19 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Diego that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,320 to $6,708 a month, and the middle figure is $4,642 (n = 19 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 Remington Club II 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.

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 one bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
13 homes like this within 9 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,000–$8,750.
- 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).

Allegation investigated: Staff were not adequetely trained for emergency procedures.
The following determination of findings have been made by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nacole Patterson. The findings were delivered to Director of Health and Wellness Raquel Mathews via phone. On 06/19/2026 it was alleged that staff were not adequately trained for emergency procedures, specifically the evacuation chairs for the stairwells. The Department’s investigation consisted of an unannounced facility visit, interviews with facility staff, resident, and records review. Staff informed that quarterly fire drills were conducted for all shifts; the facility elevators were both out simultaneously for approximately 2-3-days before one elevator was repaired and back operational. Staff informed that all resident services were adjusted to accommodate this, such as free tray service, activities being brought to each floor, and ambulatory residents being assisted down the stairs by caregivers. (Continued on LIC9099 p.2) Unsubstantiated (Continued from LIC9099 p.1) Staff informed that only 1 resident was taken down the stairs by evacuation chair - they were taken down by paramedics, not staff. Staff informed that the Quarter 2 fire drill training was arranged to be trained by the evacuation chair vendor/contractor. Staff provided records of the training as well as photos of paramedics taking the resident in question down the stairs in the evacuation chair, which corroborated statements. The resident in question who was taken down the stairs in the evacuation chair affirmed that the paramedics took them down the stairs with no issue. The resident informed that staff did not take them down the stairs. Relevant records were reviewed for the investigation. The records showed that the facility conducted quarterly fire/emergency drills, per requirement. The drills contained signatures from staff of all shifts. Photos were taken of the resident in question being taken down the stairs by two paramedics in an evacuation chair. Fire Drill training records corroborated staff statements that drills were conducted quarterly for all shifts. During an unannounced facility visit LPA directly observed evacuation chairs at the top of each stairwell in the building. The chairs contained a cover with written instructions and images on how to operate the chairs. The quarterly fire drill training records state that "Location of life safety equipment & emergency shut offs" are included in the fire drills. Evidence shows that the resident who was taken down the stairs in an evacuation chair was not taken down by staff, but EMS. Evidence also showed that the facility conducted quarterly fire drills, as required, which addressed the evacuation chairs. The evidence additionally showed that the instructions on use of the chairs was written on the cover of each evacuation chair, in the event staff needed to use it in lieu of the paramedics. Based on interviews, direct LPA observations and records review, a preponderance of evidence does not exist to prove that the alleged violation occurred, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Raquel Mathews, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided via email. A copy of this report will be mailed to the Licensee.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 30, 2026 · control 08-AS-20260619141822

Allegation investigated: Licensee did not ensure facility was maintained in good repair. Licensee did not ensure facility was free from malodor.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nacole Patterson conducted an unannounced visit to initiate and deliver findings regarding the above complaint allegations. LPA introduced themselves and disclosed the purpose of the visit to Executive Director Daniel Slaughter. On 07/03/2026 it was alleged that Licensee did not ensure the facility was maintained in good repair or free from malodor. The Department’s investigation consisted of an unannounced facility visit, interviews with facility staff, residents, and records review. The disrepair in question was related to an out-of-order elevator, which flooded due to an outside contractor breaking a pipe during routine elevator maintenance. This incident was investigated during an unannounced Case Management visit by this LPA on 06/24/2026. Staff interviews revealed that on 06/09/2026 while doing routine maintenance, the elevator technician broke a sprinkler head at the top of the elevator causing water to flood the elevator bay and ground level flooring outside of the elevator area. This incident required elevator repair and remediation due to the water damage. Facility management notified the Department of the issue on 06/15/2026 and informed that action was being taken to repair the elevator. (Continued on LIC9099 p.2) Unsubstantiated (Continued from LIC9099 p.1) A review of facility records revealed the the facility submitted an incident report for the incident in addition to notifying the Department via email within the required timeframe. Additional records revealed an email exchange between facility management and the elevator contractor regarding the repair services and materials. Additional records showed invoices from the restoration contractor detailing the projected remediation repairs to include wall masking, drywall repair, baseboard installation, cleaning, hallway door removal and reinstallation, moisture inspection, floor protection installation, and labor costs. The contractor paperwork noted that additional drying time was needed for certain parts of the flooring before the drying standard could be achieved. Documentation pertaining to the carpet cleanings was reviewed as well as communication between management and the elevator contractor to increase the closure time of the second elevator, which was completed. During two unannounced facility visits LPA directly observed both elevators at the facility on 06/24/26 and 07/10/26. The main elevator was closed and taped off for safety during both visits, as it was still under repair. On 06/24/2026 LPA observed the stairwell next to the main elevator to have increased humidity with a temporary plastic cover over a hole in the wall, connected to the elevator. Due to the moisture, an odor was present in the stairwell, which staff informed was being corrected by the restoration company. On 07/10/2026 LPA observed four (4) restoration contractors repairing and painting the walls of the elevator vestibule, main hallway outside of the elevator, and mail room. LPA observed the stairwell next to the main elevator a second time. The wall had been repaired with plaster and only a slight chemical smell was present, evidencing that the carpet and walls had been treated to prevent mold. LPA observed the second elevator to be in service during both visits. On 07/10/2026 LPA observed the second elevator door to have a 9-second open time with working sensors that stopped the door upon sensing that an object was in the door frame. LPA additionally observed a freshly painted concrete entryway, corroborating management statements that a plan was in place for cosmetic upgrades around the facility. LPA observed a second floor outdoor walkway to have faded paint due to normal wear and tear. This area was the same color as the freshly painted entryway and was observed to have no tripping hazards or broken concrete. LPA spoke to three residents during the facility visit. The residents acknowledged that the main elevator had been under repair and they had observed contractors working in the area. The residents informed that the facility had not delayed in repairing the elevator and floor issues, and have accommodated residents during this time as to not interrupt services. The residents confirmed that they had been able to utilize the secondary elevator and received complimentary tray service. Based on interviews, direct LPA observations and records review, a preponderance of evidence does not exist to prove that the alleged violations occurred, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Daniel Slaughter, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 10, 2026 · control 08-AS-20260703163606

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nacole Patterson conducted an unannounced Case Management Visit. LPA was greeted by and met with Wellness Director Raquel Mathews to discuss the purpose of the visit. Today's visit is in response to the self report of overlapping malfunctions in both elevators at the facility. On 06/09/2026 during routine maintenance, the elevator near the lobby malfunctioned due to the contractor breaking an element of the sprinkler/water pipe. The damage resulted in the elevator area flooding. On 06/14/2026 the elevator near the dining room stopped working due to an unrelated mechanical issue. The facility scheduled a contractor and the dining room elevator was repaired on 06/16/2026. Between both incidents, there was a 2-day period where no elevator service existed. During this time, the facility assisted residents with tray service for all meals at no charge, provided activities on both floors, and one resident was assisted down the stairs in the evacuation chair by EMS when sent to the hospital. LPA conducted a wellness check at the facility; the resident who utilized the evacuation chair confirmed that EMS assisted them with no issue down the stairs. The lobby elevator in disrepair was clearly marked with signage and was taped off; the dining room elevator was directly observed by LPA to be operational. LPA visually confirmed that all stairwells contained evacuation chairs, with instructions imbedded on each chair for use.

Apr 29, 2026Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Unlawful eviction.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nacole Patterson conducted an unannounced visit to deliver findings regarding the above complaint allegation. LPA introduced themselves and disclosed the purpose of the visit to Executive Director Daniel Slaughter and Health and Wellness Director Raquel Mathews. On 03/11/2026 it was alleged that the Licensee provided an unlawful eviction to Resident 1 (R1). The Department’s investigation consisted of unannounced facility visits, interviews with facility staff, resident, outside sources, and records review. Interviews with staff revealed that R1 had lived at the facility for approximately 2.5 months prior to receiving the 30-day Notice to Vacate letter on 02/19/2026. The reason for eviction was due to R1 violating the policies of the facility by being verbally abusive toward staff. Staff members who provided direct care to R1 were interviewed; these staff consistently informed that R1 spoke to them rudely, swore at them, used derogatory phrases, hit items out of their hands, threw items at them, and made demeaning comments toward them. Staff informed that these behaviors increased when R1 became intoxicated. (Continued on LIC9099 p.2) Substantiated (Continued from LIC9099 p.1) Facility management informed that a letter was provided to R1 on 01/30/2026, prior to the eviction notice, informing R1 that they were not in compliance with facility policies due to staff mistreatment. This letter referenced two prior direct conversations that had been held requesting for R1 to refrain from verbal abuse toward staff. Management additionally informed that the 30-day Notice to Vacate was served to R1 on February 19th, 2026, however the document did not contain all of the required information. Management informed that a second 30-day Notice to Terminate letter with all of the required information was given to R1 on February 24th, 2026. Management informed that upon confronting R1 regarding their behavior toward staff, R1 denied the claims and indicated that whatever statements that were made were outside of R1's awareness that staff could hear them. A private interview was conducted with R1 during an unannounced facility visit. R1 denied being disrespectful to staff and believed that a specific staff member was targeting them. R1 admitted to saying the word "stupid" once regarding a food situation, and stated they may have made a remark about staff who they thought were out of earshot. Outside sources were interviewed regarding the allegation. One outside provider informed that R1 was direct with their communication, but the source had not directly observed R1 engage disrespectfully toward staff. A second outside source from an advocacy agency informed that the situation had been made known to them, but they were not given permission by R1 to speak with any staff members in order to verify or refute the information. Records review corroborated staff statements regarding R1's behavior toward facility staff. A formal notice to R1 dated 01/30/2026 informed that R1 was not in compliance with facility policies due to their mistreatment toward staff. The 02/19/2026 30-day Notice to Vacate informed of the Licensee's intention to evict R1, however the document did not contain the required elements for the eviction to be enforceable. The second 30-day Notice to Terminate, dated 02/24/2026, included the required elements for a valid eviction notice and included a list of specific events where R1 swore at staff, threw items, and made demeaning statements. Care notes for R1, from their date of admission to the time of the eviction notice, detailed situations where R1 mistreated staff. The Resident Handbook stated that residents and guests were expected to behave in a civil manner that would not cause unreasonable distress, discomfort, annoyance, disturbance or inconvenience to other residents, employees and management of the community. (Continued on LIC 9099 p.3) (Continued from LIC9099 p.2) While the evidence gathered supports the Licensee's justification for R1's eviction due to violating the general policies of the facility, the first eviction notice provided to R1 on 02/19/2026 was unlawful due to not containing the required elements. The subsequent eviction notice dated 02/24/2026, however, was valid based on the reason for eviction and required elements existing in the document. Based on relevant interviews and records review, the preponderance of evidence has been met that alleged violation occurred and is therefore substantiated. Deficiencies are cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the attached LIC 9099-D). A Plan of Correction was jointly developed with the licensee. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Daniel Slaughter and Health and Wellness Director Raquel Mathews, to whom a copy of this report, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Apr 29, 2026 · control 08-AS-20260311095205

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nacole Patterson conducted an unannounced visit to initiate a complaint investigation and deliver findings regarding the above complaint allegation. LPA introduced themselves and disclosed the purpose of the visit to Executive Director Daniel Slaughter and Health and Wellness Director Raquel Mathews. On 04/24/2026 it was alleged that staff did not follow Resident 1 (R1's) care plan, resulting in a fall. The Department’s investigation consisted of an unannounced facility visit, interviews with facility staff, resident, outside sources, and records review. Staff interviews informed that R1 suffered weakness to the left side of their body due to a recent medical condition and required assistance with help during transfers. Staff informed that R1's leg brace and gait belt were to be used when assisting R1 with transfers. Staff informed that R1 did not have the gait belt or brace on during the incident in question. (Continued on LIC9099 p.2) Substantiated (Continued from LIC9099 p.1) Staff 1 (S1), who was involved in the transfer, confirmed that a conversation was not had with R1 regarding the assistive devices during the incident. S1 informed that while R1 has refused using the items in the past, they did not refuse them during this incident. Staff informed that R1 fell forward during the transfer in question, hitting their head on a dresser. S1 informed that they did not have a walkie to request help upon the fall so they informed R1 that they were going to find help and return, which was done within approximately 1 minute while R1 was lying on the ground. S1 acknowledged that R1 should have been wearing the gait belt and leg brace during the transfer and did not know why they were not on. Staff informed that updated instructions have been communicated to all caregivers and nurses regarding ensuring R1's assistive devices are on during each transfer, and calling for a second caregiver if R1 shows signs of weakness upon transferring. Staff additionally informed that signs are now up in R1's room, reminding staff to ensure R1's assistive devices are on during all transfers. An interview was conducted with R1 during and unannounced facility visit. R1 informed that they were supposed to wear their gait belt and leg brace during each transfer and that the items were not on during the transfer in question. R1 informed that they did not have a conversation with S1 regarding the brace/gait belt being on or off prior to the transfer. R1 stated that their foot "buckled" during the transfer, causing them to fall forward and hit the left side of their forehead on the front flat part of a dresser. R1 informed that signs are now placed in their room regarding the use of the gait belt and leg brace for transfers, and that staff now request an additional caregiver to assist them when needed. Outside source interviews were attempted, however LPA's phone calls were not returned. Records Review included the Unusual Incident/Injury Report for the incident, R1's progress notes, Service Plan, and photos. R1's service plan showed that the expectation at the time of the incident was for R1 to utilize a gait belt, leg brace, and cane during all transfers. The Unusual Incident/Injury Report and progress notes pertaining to the incident were consistent with staff and resident statements regarding the details of the fall during transfer. LPA directly observed the assistive equipment and furniture involved during the incident in question. R1 described and affirmed LPA's understanding of R1's contact with the dresser upon falling. LPA took photos of the dresser and signs posted on the wall that were placed after the fall. (Continued on LIC9099 p,3) (Continued from LIC9099 p.2) LPA personally walked and timed the path of travel that S1 took when requesting help for R1 after the fall. LPA walked at a conservative pace (not running) from R1's room to the open balcony on the second floor where S1 yelled for help to the reception desk below. The total amount of time round trip was 00:58:42. LPA's direct observation corroborated S1's statements regarding being away from R1 approximately 1 minute to get help after the fall. Based on relevant interviews and records review, the preponderance of evidence has been met that alleged violation occurred and is therefore substantiated. Deficiencies are cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the attached LIC 9099-D). A Plan of Correction was jointly developed with the licensee.

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.
- What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
- Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
- Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
- What could change whether someone can stay here?
- Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
