What does Serra Highlands Senior Living cost?

$4,105 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 19 other homes of a similar licensed size across San Mateo County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,963 to $8,253 a month, and the middle figure is $6,495 (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.

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.

  • Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis 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.
  • SSI/SSPCalifornia’s 2026 standard is $1,626.07 a month; $1,444.07 of it goes to the home and $182 stays with the resident. Whether this home accepts it is not on file — ask.
  • VeteransVA Aid & Attendance can add to a veteran’s or surviving spouse’s pension. Ask whether residents here have used it.

  • MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
If the money runs out, what Medi-Cal covers
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, seen September 9, 2026.

20 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,150–$7,400.

  • 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).

Regarding the allegation, staff do not ensure the facility is properly maintained, according to the reporting party, a vacant resident was observed with two ventilation ducts, one of which was blocked with what appeared to be either a portion of a ceiling tile or a complete ceiling tile which can pose a potential danger to residents as the other ventilation duct was observed not to be working. During the investigation, LPA toured a random sample of resident rooms, made observations, and interviewed staff. Based on observations, LPA observed 1-2 ventilation ducts in each room, in addition to either a window or a sliding door. According to staff interviewed, the facility has a central heating and cooling conditioning system that comes out the ventilation ducts. LPA observed at least one and/or both ventilation ducts to be working in the resident rooms observed. According to staff and resident interviewed, the only reason the ventilation ducts are closed is if residents request for it to be closed. Based on observations and interviews conducted, the department has determined that although the above allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the above allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Allegation investigated: - Licensee not ensuring that infection control practices are maintained - Facility is malodorous

LPA Jeung met with business office director and resident services director (RSD) and reviewed Infection Control Plan and related staff training. Administrator participated by phone. Based on this investigation--which included observations of supplies of PPE and plastic garbage bags and interviews with staff--these allegations are determined to be unsubstantiated. Although the allegations may have occurred or are valid, there is not enough evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. It cannot be determined that caregivers wear the same gloves when caring for more than one resident, nor that shortage of plastic garbage can liners resulted in offensive odors due to absence of trash can liners. During review and discussion of Infection Control Plan (LIC9282), it is noted that the current Infection Control Preventionist is RSD. Administrator agreed to submit revised ICP and proof of infection control training from a medical professional for RSD. LPA also recommended that documentation of 40 hour new hire training include infection control, as per CCR 87470 Infection Control Requirements.

An “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing — it means the state investigated and could not confirm the allegation.
