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 communities with 50 or more beds 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 10 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Francisco that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $6,000 to $8,595 a month, and the middle figure is $7,148 (n = 10 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 San Francisco RCFE 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?
