How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 8 small 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.

  • 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).
  • It cannot see this home’s specials, how it assesses care, or which rooms are open.
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 move-in 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.

Ask for the price

An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Aug 26, 2026Facility evaluation reportCase Management - Legal/Non-complianceReport on file

Type of visit: Case Management - Legal/Non-compliance

On 08/26/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Maria (Mita) Partoza conducted an unannounced Case Management–Noncompliance Monitoring visit. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by three staff. The licensee/administrator Mary Grace Lazaro and Ravenal Cruz was not present at the facility at the time of the inspection and arrived at the facility approximately 10 minutes after LPAs arrival. The facility remains under increased monitoring pursuant to the Compliance Plan established during the Noncompliance Conference conducted on December 3, 2024. The Compliance Plan requires monitoring inspections every three months for two years. This visit represents the second-to-last monitoring visit within the two-year monitoring period. The purpose of the visit was to evaluate the facility’s implementation of the Compliance Plan addressing care and supervision, facility security, resident reappraisals, staff training, acceptance and retention, collaboration with responsible persons and involved agencies, licensee and administrator accountability, incident reporting, staffing, and nighttime supervision. At the time of the visit, 3 out of 6 residents and 3 staff were present. One resident was hospitalized and 2 arrived from the day program after 4:30 p.m. page 1 LPA toured the facility’s interior and exterior areas and inspected the front exit, rear exit, and side exit located in a resident bedroom. LPA tested the alarm on each of the three exits. Each alarm produced an audible chime when the corresponding door was opened. From a distance, the chime could be heard; however, the specific door being opened was not readily distinguishable. When LPA moved closer to the alarm system, the announcement identifying the activated door was understandable. LPA interviewed three staff regarding resident supervision, scheduled resident checks, staffing coverage, door-alarm response, missing-resident procedures, incident reporting, and staff training. Three of three staff stated no current resident demonstrated active elopement, wandering, or exit-seeking behavior. Staff stated they reviewed residents’ Individual Program Plans, appraisals, needs and services plans, medical information, and other records to identify residents’ care and supervision needs. Three of three staff stated they would check the applicable exit when a door alarm activated. Staff stated the alarms could be heard throughout the facility; however, one of three staff stated the alarm announcement could be difficult to understand when the facility was noisy. Two of three staff stated alarms were tested weekly, while one of three staff identified the administrator as responsible for testing the alarms but did not identify the testing frequency. One of three staff recalled a prior occasion when part of the rear-door alarm became displaced and the alarm did not activate until staff identified and corrected the problem. Staff provided inconsistent information regarding scheduled resident checks. One of three staff described daily body checks and hourly nighttime checks, one of three staff stated residents were checked every 15 minutes, and one of three staff described frequent or daily checks without identifying the required frequency. Staff stated incomplete checks were communicated to the following shift. The interviews did not establish a consistent understanding of which residents required scheduled supervision checks or how missed checks and residents’ absences from the facility were documented. page 2 Three of three staff stated they would search the facility and surrounding areas and notify the administrator if a resident could not be located. Staff provided different responses regarding when 9-1-1 or law enforcement would be contacted. One of three staff stated staff might wait approximately 30 minutes to one hour, one of three staff stated law enforcement would be contacted when staff could not locate the resident, and one of three staff stated law enforcement would not be contacted immediately and the administrator would be notified first. Three of three staff stated an incident report would be completed following an elopement or missing-resident incident. Staff identified the administrator as responsible for submitting the report to Licensing. Staff did not consistently identify all required notifications, reporting time frames, resident reassessment, revision of the resident’s supervision plan, or other follow-up actions following the resident’s return. Staff also provided inconsistent information regarding staffing and the person designated to be in charge when the licensee/administrator was absent. Staff identified different persons as the designated person in charge. One of three staff stated at least two staff were always present, one of three staff stated the staff member was alone with six residents after approximately 5:00 p.m., and one of three staff stated four staff worked each shift and stated that he/she did not work alone. Three of three staff reported receiving training or instruction related to resident care, behavioral needs, missing-resident procedures, elopement, or incident reporting. Staff did not consistently describe the content of the training or demonstrate a consistent understanding of the facility’s procedures regarding staffing, scheduled resident checks, chain of command, emergency notifications, and follow-up after an elopement or missing-resident incident. page 3 LPA reviewed 3 out of 6 residents’ records, including Individual Program Plans, appraisals, needs and services plans, progress notes, and resident-checking logs. The records were reviewed determine that residents’ current supervision needs, scheduled checks, known behaviors, resident-specific interventions, and staff responsibilities were documented and updated following incidents or changes in condition. LPA reviewed the current LIC 500 Personnel Report, staff schedules, time records, and shift assignments for month of August 2026. The records were reviewed determined that staffing was maintained during all shifts, including nighttime hours. LPA reviewed staff training records, training materials, attendance records, and alarm-testing records. The records were reviewed and determine that staff received the training required by the Compliance Plan, that the facility regularly tested its alarms, and when alarm malfunctions a corrective actions were documented. LPA reviewed incident reports and notification records from May 2026 through August 26, 2026. The records were reviewed determined that incidents were reported to the Department within the required time frames, and responsible persons and other involved agencies were notified, and residents were reassessed following incidents or changes in behavior are monitored. Based on observations, interviews, and records reviewed, the facility was found to be in compliance with the December 3, 2024 Noncompliance Conference Compliance Plan. Staff responses varied regarding scheduled checks, staffing, the designated person in charge, and missing-resident procedures. The licensee/administrator was advised to review these procedures with all staff to ensure consistent implementation. No deficiencies were cited during today’s visit. An exit interview was conducted with Mary Grace Lazaro and Ravenal Cruz and a copy of the report was provided. Page 4the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 26, 2026

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 stand in their place.

Quick answers about RGK Home Care

Is RGK Home Care licensed?

The state lists this license as “Licensed,” per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

How many residents is RGK Home Care licensed for?

6 residents — a small home, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Has RGK Home Care been cited?

0 Type A and 2 Type B citations since 2023, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026. Those records count 13 state visits over the same years.

Is RGK Home Care still open?

This license was on the CDSS roster as of November 11, 2026.

What does RGK Home Care cost?

$4,000 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,300–$4,950. 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 8 small 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.

Among 50 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Jose that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,600 to $5,000 a month, and the middle figure is $4,200 (n = 50 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 RGK Home Care take Medi-Cal?

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home is not on the DHCS participation list dated October 1, 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 Cruz, Ravenal D. & Lazaro, Mary Grace V., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Kaiser Foundation Hospital-San Jose is 2.9 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can RGK Home Care keep a resident on hospice?

Not on file — the state’s record does not list hospice care on this license. Ask: “Can a resident stay here on hospice, and under what conditions?”
