  • Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis 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.
  • 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.

How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on its own website, seen October 27, 2026.

  • 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.

During visits on 4/13/2026 and 4/16/2026, LPA inspected a random sampling of resident rooms and bathrooms, common areas, kitchen, and outside space. No bodies of water or secured perimeter were observed on the premises. The facility was found to be clean, safe, and in good repair with no pathway obstructions. LPA observed linens and hygiene products for resident use. The facility’s ambient and water temperature were measured within regulatory requirements at multiple locations. LPA observed locked storage for resident medications and hazardous and/or toxic chemicals, both of which were stored separately from food supplies. According to Kim Malaspina, no firearms or weapons are stored on the premises. LPA observed a minimum supply of 2-days of perishable food and 7-days of non-perishable food. The refrigerator and freezer temperatures were kept within requirements. Staff present at the facility had a criminal background clearance and association. LPA reviewed multiple resident and staff records. No deficiencies were cited on today’s date.

Oct 7, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Lack of supervision resulted in resident on resident abuse with serious injury

On 10/7/2025, LPA Grace Donato conducted a telephone interview with the facility to deliver findings. LPA spoke with Administrator, Kimberly Malaspina and explained the purpose of the call. Regarding the allegation of Lack of supervision resulted in resident on resident abuse with serious injury, Reporting Party (RP) stated that a resident (R1) took an unwitnessed fall that led to R1s hip breaking. RP mentioned that another resident (R2) pushed R1. During the investigation, staff members were interviewed, and records were reviewed. page 1 of 2 Unsubstantiated Staff that were interviewed were present in the memory care on 12/17/2024 during the AM shift. While providing assistance to another resident, S1 saw R1 on the ground in the adjoining living room. S1 got additional assistance from S2 who was also assisting with the other resident. S2 asked resident R1 what happened. According to S2, R1 said, “R2 pushed me,” and pointed to R2. Both staff were the only direct care staff in the area at the time and acknowledged R2 was by R1 in the living room. There is no video surveillance inside the facility. R1 was assessed by facility staff. Emergency services were called and transported R1 to the hospital for evaluation. For the records that were reviewed, both R1 and R2 have neuro cognitive disorders. R1 was noted as independent with mobility and transferring. R2 is noted as not having any inappropriate or aggressive behavior. While R1 sustained an injury while in care, there is no evidence that either R2 had inappropriate or aggressive behavior, and that additional supervision was needed to prevent a resident-on-resident altercation. There is no corroborating evidence that a lack of supervision resulted in R1 being pushed by R2 resulting in injury. Based on interviews, observations and records review, the department has determined that 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. Report is reviewed and copy is provided. page 2 of 2the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Oct 7, 2025 · control 08-AS-20241218141448

Aug 12, 2024Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Licensee did not issue a refund of pre-admission fees

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rebecca Ruiz conducted an unannounced complaint visit to open an investigation and deliver findings regarding the above mentioned allegation. LPA was greeted by, identified herself to, and explained the purpose of the visit and the basic elements of the complaint with Resident Care Director Anthony Bawalan. Executive Director Melon Rivera arrived during the visit. During today’s visit, LPA toured the facility, observed residents in care, reviewed and obtained copies of facility records, and interviewed staff. LPA was away from the facility for approximately one hour between 12:15pm and 1:15pm. The Department's investigation consisted of interviews with staff and outside sources, records review, and a tour of the facility. It was alleged that the Licensee did not issue a refund of pre-admission fees. Continued on LIC9099-C page... Substantiated Interviews with staff and outside sources revealed that sometime in March 2024, Applicant 1 (A1) expressed interest in moving in to the facility and paid the facility a $2,000 pre-admission deposit to hold a spot at the facility. [Executive Director was provided with an LIC811 Confidential Names List to identify A1.] Interviews with outside sources revealed that sometime in April 2024, A1 decided not to move into the facility and requested a refund of the pre-admission deposit via telephone. Interviews with staff revealed that the pre-admission deposit is fully refundable prior to move in and individuals must request a refund in writing using a facility provided form. Interviews with staff revealed that facility staff had difficulty getting in contact with A1 to complete the paperwork, partially due to A1 living at another licensed facility. Staff stated during interviews that the facility mailed the refund paperwork to A1 on least two occasions with no response. Staff also stated that they reached out to the staff at the facility A1 was residing at and requested assistance to have A1 complete the refund paperwork with no response. Interviews with staff and outside sources revealed that sometime in May 2024, a staff member from the facility's sales department met with A1 in person to complete the refund paperwork. Review of the refund request forms for A1 revealed that the paperwork to refund for A1's pre-admission deposit was completed on 5/9/2024 and 5/22/2024. Review of an email to the facility's external billing department revealed that the facility submitted A1's refund paperwork to be processed on 6/5/2024. Staff and outside sources confirmed during interviews that staff did not complete a formal care assessment for A1 and A1 never took possession of an apartment at the facility. Review of A1's ledger report generated on 8/12/2024 revealed that A1 has not been issued a refund for the pre-admission deposit totalling $2,000. The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegation and based on interviews and records review, the preponderance of the evidence has been met, therefore, this allegation is deemed substantiated. The following deficiency is cited per CA Code of Regulations Title 22 and noted on the attached LIC9099-D page. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Melon Rivera, whose signature below confirms receipt of a copy of this report, the LIC811, and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC9058 3/22).the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 12, 2024 · control 08-AS-20240805101045

From the deficiency page — Deficiency type: Type B · Section cited: CCR 87507(g)(5)(E)(1)(a) · Plan of correction due date: Sep 9, 2024

87507 Admission Agreements (g)(5)(E) Preadmission fees shall be refunded according to the following conditions (1) A 100 percent refund... shall be provided... if (a) the applicant decides not to enter the facility prior to the facility completing a preadmission appraisal. This requirement has not been met as evidenced by: Based on interviews and records review, the licensee did not provide A1 with a refund of the $2,000 pre-admission fee. This poses a potentional personal rights risk to 56 of 56 residents in care.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 12, 2024

Plan of correction: Executive Director stated that the facility now has a Business Office Coordinator who is responsible for processing all refunds in-house. The refund for A1 is being processed and the facility will be mailing the refund via check to A1's residence via certified mail. Executive Director will provide tracking information confirming A1's refund to the Department by POC due date of 9/9/2024.

What does Sunrise of Oceanside cost?

$4,800 a month to start — listed by the home on its own website · October 27, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on its own website, seen October 27, 2026.

Among 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in Oceanside that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,800 to $5,234 a month, and the middle figure is $4,495 (n = 5 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 Sunrise of Oceanside 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.
