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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 15 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.

Allegation investigated: Staff are going through resident's personal property without permission.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amy Domingo conducted an unannounced visit to deliver a finding regarding the above prior complaint allegations. LPA was welcomed by, identified herself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Administrator Lisa Sayre. CCLD’s investigation involved unannounced facility visits, welfare checks, and review of facility care and medical records. The Department also interviewed relevant staff, clients, and outside sources. On 9/25/23, it was alleged that facility staff are going through residents' personal property without permission. (Continued on LIC9099C) Unsubstantiated Interviews were conducted with three (3) residents. All residents interviewed denied that staff had gone through their personal belongings without consent. Several residents stated they felt their privacy was respected and that staff only entered their rooms for routine care or housekeeping, with notice or permission. Interviews with three (3) staff members revealed that staff were aware of residents’ rights to privacy and personal property. Staff denied going through any resident’s belongings without permission and stated they only access resident property when necessary and with consent, such as during room cleaning or when assisting with grooming and hygiene. An outside source, reported no concerns regarding staff conduct related to residents’ personal property. A review of facility policies confirmed that staff are trained on residents’ rights, including the right to privacy and control over personal possessions, in accordance with Title 22, Section 87468(a)(6), which states that residents have the right to be free from unreasonable searches and to possess and control their own personal property. Staff training records showed that all staff received training on resident rights and privacy protections during orientation and annually thereafter. During the visit, staff were observed knocking before entering resident rooms and interacting respectfully with residents and their belongings. The Department has investigated a complaint with the above allegations. The Department has found that there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Lisa Sayre, Administrator, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 15, 2025 · control 08-AS-20230925092401

Allegation investigated: Staff neglect resulted in resident injury Staff verbally intimidated resident

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Iby Strong conducted an unannounced visit to deliver findings in the above complaint allegations. LPA identified herself and discussed the purpose of the visit with Caregiver Gabriela Macias. Administrator joined by telephone. On June 21, 2023, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received a complaint alleging staff neglect resulted in resident injury and staff verbally intimidated resident. During investigation, LPA Strong collected pertinent resident records as well as facility documentation and conducted interviews. Based on Resident 1 (R1) Physician’s Report dated February 8, 2023, R1 has a history of skin breakdown and can communicate needs. According to allegations, Staff 1 (S1) stepped on R1’s foot causing injury. Records collected revealed that R1 is receiving wound care to foot. Records also revealed that R1 had such wound open greater than six months due to trauma to fall. Unsubstantiated Facility records revealed that resident has lived at the facility since March of 2023, which is less than six months. Interview with outside source present on the date of the incident revealed that S1 was not seen stepping on R1. During investigation, there was no corroborating information found to determine R1 was injured by S1. It was also alleged that S1, S2 and S3 entered R1’s room to intimidate resident into changing story regarding being stepped on. Interview with R1 revealed that no such incident occurred, and no staff have intimidated R1. Interview with outside source revealed there have been no other allegations or incidents regarding residents being intimidated at facility. Interviews with multiple outside sources revealed the facility has no history of staff being intimidating to residents. Based on LPA's interviews with staff, outside source interviews, and record reviews there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove alleged violation occurred, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

“Typical” is the statewide median for licensed homes this size. It does not adjust for years licensed, and older licenses have had more visits and reports. The median is across the 6,916 licensed small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds) in the state record. The figures compared are the state’s totals, not the documents.

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.

What does Say You're Home cost?

$5,650 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,650–$6,950. 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 15 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 198 other homes of a similar licensed size across San Diego County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 198 other homes publishing a starting rate).

Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date between September and October 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 Say You're Home 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.

The license is held by Say You're Home Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026. See the homes licensed to Say You're Home Inc. — at least 2 on the state roster.
