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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 16 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 5 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.

Dec 8, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff left resident soiled overnight.

Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Tena Herrera and Gabriela Castro conducted an unannounced complaint visit to investigate the above allegation. LPAs met with Jennifer Bobodilla and explained the purpose for todays visit. The investigation consisted of the following: LPAs obtained copies of staff and client rosters, documents within Resident #1's (R1) file that include: Physician Report and Home Heath Plan. LPAs interviewed 3 Staff (S1-S3) and 6 Residents (R1-R6). (Continued on LIC9099-C) Unsubstantiated The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff left resident soiled overnight. It is alleged that R1 was left soiled and dirty by facility night staff. LPAs checked supplies for incontinence care and observed a sufficient supply within the facility and extra supplies in the detached garage. LPAs reviewed R1’s physician report and Home Health Care Plan, and it was noted that R1 uses a condom catheter that they are able to drain themselves. LPAs interviewed 3 staff and each denied the allegation and stated that R1 does not use diapers or require caregivers to provide incontinence care as R1 uses a condom catheter that they are able to drain themselves. LPAs interviewed a total of 6 residents and 5 out of 6 residents denied the above allegation and stated that they do need the use of incontinence care and staff provides the required care for them, last rounds are done around 9pm and they are provided with an overnight, extra absorbent diaper and a bed pad, and the first round the next morning by 7am. 5 out of 6 residents stated they had not issues or concerns when in regards to their incontinence care needs. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff/residents, and review of R1's file, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview held, and a copy of this report was provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Dec 8, 2025 · control 28-AS-20251204140218

Allegation investigated: Licensee is retaining a resident with a higher level of care need. Licensee is not ensuring that resident's medical needs are being met while in care.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Alberto Lopez made initial visit to investigate the above allegations. LPA met with Administrator Jennifer Bobadilla and discussed the purpose of the visit. The investigation consisted of LPA taking tour of facility, obtaining and reviewing staff and resident rosters, R1 Face sheet, Physicians Report for the elderly dated 02/20/2025, and admission agreement. LPA reviewed needs and services and asked facility to send LPA a copy. The investigation revealed regarding allegation: Licensee is retaining a resident with a higher level of care need. It is alleged that facility is retaining R1 that requires a higher level of care. LPA interviewed eight (8) residents and seven (7) of eight (8) residents could not corroborate the allegation.

R1 stated that R1 gets good care, that R1 room and bed are changed and R1 gets food and R1 body and hair are kept clean. R1 stated that R1 is just tired of being at facility and would like to go to live with ralative. R1 stated R1 has no issues with facility. R1 stated R1 does not need higher level of care. (continued on 9099C) Unsubstantiated (continued from 9099) LPA reviewed R1 Physicians report, and it does not show R1 needing higher level of care. R1 stated she sees fine, not blurry and can read without glasses. There is insufficient evidence to support this allegation. Allegation: Licensee is not ensuring that resident's medical needs are being met while in care. It is alleged that facility is not providing client access for dental, and vision care. LPA interviewed eight (8) residents, and seven (7) of eight (8) residents could not corroborate the allegation. LPA interviewed four (4) staff, and all four (4) staff denied the allegation. Several staff stated that they provide for R1 needs. Staff stated that if R1 requires dental or optometrist visit, that they help arrange it for R1. Staff stated that responsibility would fall on the power of attorney (POA). However, admission agreement shows that facility would assist R1 with assistance in meeting necessary medical and dental appointments. Facility would encourage responsible party to transport R1 but would transport if responsible party is not available. R1 has not gone to see a dentist since R1 was admitted seven (7) years ago but staff stated dentist made home visit about two (2) years ago. R1 stated to LPA that R1 does not want to see a dentist now and R1 will let facility know when R1 wishes to see dentist.

Allegation investigated: Unlawful evicition.

**This report supersedes report dated 12/28/2023. The reason it is being superseded is to correct the allegation, as on the original report it was listed as “Staff pushed resident,” when it should have read “Unlawful Eviction.” The finding will remain the same.** Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Erik Zaragoza conducted a subsequent complaint visit regarding the allegation listed above. LPA met with Administrator Jennifer Bobadilla and explained the purpose for the visit. The investigation consisted of the following: During the initial visit conducted on 10/06/2022, LPA Glenn Trueman interviewed Staff #1 - 5 (S1 - S5), Residents #2 - 5 (R2 - R5), and reviewed the file for Resident #1 (R1). During today's visit, LPA Zaragoza re-interviewed Staff #1 - 3 (S1 - S3), obtained the facility's Admission Agreement, House Rules, a Log for residents that sign out of the facility, and Staff Roster. LPA also interviewed Witness #1 (W1) over the phone. LPA attempted to interview R1, however they no longer live at the facility. Unsubstantiated The investigation revealed the following: in regards to the allegation "Unlawful Eviction", it is alleged that R1 was illegally evicted from the facility when R1 was signed out by a friend (W1) for a week, and then refused to be allowed back because R1's bed was already given to a new resident. During interviews with the staff, none of the staff interviewed corroborated the allegation because they all stated that R1 was never evicted, therefore they never issued an eviction notice to R1. One of the staff interviewed explained that R1 stated that they did not want to live in the facility anymore, and signed out of the facility on their own accord with W1 who is a friend. Another staff member interviewed indicated that R1 said they wanted to live with their sibling rather than reside at the facility, and that is why they were signed out of the facility with W1 who is a friend of the family. The staff also explained that after about a week, W1 returned asking to place R1 back in the facility because they were not able to care for R1, however R1's bed was already filled with another resident. LPA obtained the phone number of W1 from the facility administrator and contacted W1 by phone to interview W1 about the allegation. W1 did recall R1 and confirmed that they are a friend of the R1's family, however W1 stated that they did not recall R1 being illegally evicted from the facility. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff, clients, review of client files and facility file records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegations.

What does Simla Villas cost?

$4,300 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,400–$5,650. 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 16 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 5 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 232 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,151 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 232 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.
