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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 9 small homes and similar homes within 9 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.

Apr 28, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff did not meet residents’ oxygen needs.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Martha Arroyo conducted a subsequent complaint visit to the above facility. The purpose of the visit is to deliver findings for the above allegation. The initial complaint visit was conducted on 02/13/2025 by LPA Esther Cortez. On today's visit, LPA Arroyo met with staff, Miguel Lopez as the Administrator was unable to come to the facility, however gave staff permissionto sign report. Entrance interview. During the initial visit on 02/13/2025, LPA Cortez conducted a plant tour, conducted interviews with the Administrator, three staff and one resident, and obtained copies of pertinent documents between 3:45 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. Report Continued on LIC 9099C... Unsubstantiated Report Continued from LIC 9099... It was alleged that staff did not meet resident’s oxygen needs. It was reported that Resident #1 (R1) was observed with low oxygen levels, and R1’s oxygen machine was used to restore their oxygen levels to normal. However, facility staff were instructed to turn off the oxygen machine to conserve electricity. Records reviewed and interviews conducted revealed that R1 was admitted to hospice care on 05/20/2023, with a primary diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and secondary diagnoses of hypertension and depression. According to the hospice care plan dated 05/20/2023, the doctor’s orders included the use of a nebulizer and oxygen concentrator at 5L as needed for shortness of breath or wheezing. Interviews further revealed that R1’s oxygen and pulse levels are frequently monitored throughout the day. If the oximeter indicates that R1’s oxygen levels fall below 90%, staff are instructed to turn on R1’s oxygen machine. However, if the oximeter reads 100%, the oxygen machine is turned off to maintain R1’s safety. Additionally, all four staff members interviewed denied turning off R1’s oxygen when needed or advising another staff member to turn off the oxygen while in use. Furthermore, during an interview with a resident, resident denied being refused assistance or medications by facility staff, stating they had no concerns and were receiving great care. Based on the information obtained and reviewed during the course of the investigation, the Department has insufficient evidence to support the allegation of “staff did not meet resident’s oxygen needs”. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted. Report was reviewed and copy issued.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Apr 28, 2025 · control 29-AS-20250207100126

“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.

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.

Quick answers about The Butterfly Inn

The state lists this license as “Licensed,” per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

How many residents is The Butterfly Inn licensed for?

6 residents — a small home, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Has The Butterfly Inn been cited?

0 Type A and 0 Type B citations since 2019, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026. Those records count 7 state visits over the same years.

Is The Butterfly Inn still open?

This license was on the CDSS roster as of November 11, 2026.

What does The Butterfly Inn cost?

$4,700 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,850–$5,800. 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 9 small homes and similar homes within 9 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 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in Ventura that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,428 to $7,475 a month, and the middle figure is $3,750 (n = 5 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 The Butterfly Inn 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 The Butterfly Inn, LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Ventura County Medical Center is 1.2 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can The Butterfly Inn keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 6 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
