How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 23 small homes and similar homes within 10 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).

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

Allegation investigated: Facility staff speak inappropriately to residents Facility staff does not ensure residents dressed appropriately
On 6/12/2026 at 10:00 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Y. Brown arrived unannounced to conduct a complaint investigation and deliver findings in regards to the allegation above. LPA met with Adelina Danieles, Care Staff and informed the reason for visit. During investigation, LPA reviewed the Resident Roster and Staff Schedule. LPA obtained the following documents for residents (R1, R2, R3 and R4): LIC602 (Physicians report) and LIC625 (Appraisal Needs and Services Plan). LPA conducted interviews with R1, R2, R3, R4 and Staff (S1, S2 and S3). Administrator gave authorization for Adelina to sign today's report. Continue on LIC9099-C. Unsubstantiated Continued from LIC9099. Allegation: Facility staff speak inappropriately to residents Finding: Unsubstantiated It was alleged that facility staff speak inappropriately to residents. Interview with W1 revealed that they have witnessed an individual that swears at a vehicle in the facility driveway but they are unsure if it is a resident or a staff. During staff and resident interviews, it was revealed to the LPA that the individual that swears at the vehicle in the facility driveway is R1 and the vehicle belongs to R1. W1 stated that R1 does not swear at the neighbors or any residents but at the vehicle. Interview with residents revealed that have never experienced any staff speaking to them in an inappropriate manner. Residents interviewed did not report instances of verbal mistreatment, and no witnesses or documentation corroborated the allegation. Staff demonstrated appropriate and respectful communication with residents during LPA observations. Allegation: Facility staff does not ensure residents dressed appropriately Finding: Unsubstantiated It was alleged that Facility staff does not ensure residents dressed appropriately. Interview with W1 revealed that they have witnessed R1's pants sagging due to working on their vehicle in the facility driveway. LPA observed during record review that R1's LIC602 dated on 09/09/2025, stated that R1 is able to dress/groom self. Interview with staff revealed that R1 is able to dress themselves and chooses what they want to wear. Interview with R2 and R3 revealed that they are able to dress themselves and they pick out their own clothes. R4 stated that the staff assist them with changing their clothes but R4 stated that they pick out their own clothing. Interview with staff revealed that they do not dress residents inappropriately and they allow them to pick out the clothes they want to wear. Based on interviews, record review and observations conducted, the above allegations are unsubstantiated. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. No deficiency cited. Exit Interview conducted with Adelina and copy of this report provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jun 12, 2026 · control 15-AS-20260605161459

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 Good Shepherd of Pittsburg cost?
$5,300 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,350–$6,500. 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 23 small homes and similar homes within 10 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 34 other homes of a similar licensed size across Contra Costa County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $6,500 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 34 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 Good Shepherd of Pittsburg 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 Senior Legacy Health Care Services Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026. See the homes licensed to Senior Legacy Health Care Services Inc. — at least 2 on the state roster.
Can Good Shepherd of Pittsburg keep a resident on hospice?
