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.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Patricia Velazquez conducted an unannounced visit to Sonia's Care Home. The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a Required 1 Year inspection. LPA Velazquez was allowed entry into the facility and met with Caregiver Daysi Guzman. Administrator (AD) Manuel Perez was also present. The facility is licensed for 6 non-ambulatory residents. There are currently 5 residents living in the facility. AD Perez indicated one resident was in the hospital. LPA Velazquez then requested a copy of the Serious Incident Report (SIR) LIC 624 and AD Perez indicated he was not aware he had to submit an SIR to Licensing when a resident is hospitalized. The last emergency disaster drill was conducted on March 19, 2022. At 10:27 AM LPA Velazquez conducted a tour of the physical plant along with AD Perez. The 1 story home consists of 5 resident bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. There is 1 staff bedroom with 1 staff bathroom. The facility also has 2 living rooms, dining area, and kitchen. The 5 residents in the facility appeared well-groomed and well cared-for. The resident bedrooms had the required furnishings, bed linens, and closet/drawer space to accommodate each resident comfortably. LPA Velazquez observed a postural support bar on two of the resident beds. AD Perez indicated he did not have a written physician's order for the postural support bar for the 2 residents. LPA and AD observed a sliding glass door in one of the living rooms did not have an auditory alarm and the facility has residents with Dementia. AD verified the sliding glass door did not have an auditory alarm pursuant to Title 22 regulation. During the visit an auditory alarm was purchased and installed which LPA Velazquez verified. Resident bath towels and personal hygiene supplies were adequately stocked. Resident bathrooms were checked. Toilets and water faucets worked properly, grab bars were secure, showers were free of mold/mildew and a non-skid surface or mat was in place. LPA Velazquez tested the hot water temperature in the resident bathrooms and the temperature measured at 116.2 degrees Fahrenheit in the left sink and at 116.7 degrees Fahrenheit in the right sink of the first bathroom and at 115.3 degrees Fahrenheit in the second bathroom which AD Perez verified. LPA Velazquez inspected the kitchen along with AD Perez. Perishable and non-perishable food supply was checked and adequately stocked at the time of the visit. The fire extinguisher was fully charged. The smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were tested and found to be operational. Toxins and sharps were locked and inaccessible to residents. First Aid kit was checked and found to be in order. The facility did have a First Aid guide. LPA Velazquez along with AD Perez toured the outside grounds. There was shading and sufficient seating for residents. LPA and AD also observed a piece of wooden fencing with nails jutting out which AD Perez verified. AD indicated he would remove the wooden fencing that was lying on the ground. Walkways around the home were clear of hazards and the exit gates were operational. There were no security bars or weapons on the premises. No resident or staff files were reviewed at the time of this visit but LPA did verify 2 of the 6 residents in the facility were diagnosed with Dementia which AD verified. LPA Velazquez informed AD Perez to ensure a written physician's order for the Postural Support Bars is present in a resident's file pursuant to Title 22 Regulation Section 87608 Postural Supports. LPA also reviewed and provided a copy of Title 22 regulation Section 87211 Reporting Requirements. AD Perez acknowledged receiving a copy of said regulation.

“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.

Is Sonia's Care Home still open?

This license was on the CDSS roster as of November 12, 2026.

What does Sonia's Care Home cost?

$4,000 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,300–$4,950. 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 8 other homes of a similar licensed size in Costa Mesa that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $7,500 a month, and the middle figure is $4,750 (n = 8 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 Sonia's Care 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.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by Perez, Manuel & Vilma, per CDSS records as of October 25, 2026.
