How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living shared bedroom, seen September 9, 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.
An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Sep 15, 2026Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Facility did not ensure sufficient staff was available to meet residents needs. Facility did not ensure residents were provided adequate care and supervision.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rose Ruppert made an unannounced visit to investigate a complaint received in the Regional Office. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Licensee (LE) Maricel Nepomuceno at 12pm. LPA met with Licensee (LE) Allen Medina and explained the purpose of the visit was for a Health and Safety check and complaint investigation. LPA has obtained the following documents for four of four residents: Identification and Emergency Information form, Physician's Reports and Needs and Services Plans. LPA requested a Personnel Report for staffing but LE Medina stated that it continues to change and will provide an LIC 500 to the Department this afternoon once it stabilizes. LPA conducted a Health and Safety check for four of four residents in care. Two of four residents were asleep at time of entry but were observed to be cleaned and cared for. At time of entry Licensees (Continued on LIC 9099-C) Substantiated (Continued from LIC 9099). Maricel Nepomuceno and Allen Medina were providing care to residents. An additional staff member also arrived at noon and would assist LE Nepomuceno with caregiving duties until 2pm.. It was alleged that the facility did not ensure sufficient staff were available to meet residents needs and that the facility did not ensure residents were provided adequate care and supervision. Three of four residents confirmed there was no staff available over the weekend, on Saturday, September 12, 2026 and that family members came to the facility to ensure residents were not left alone. Three of three witnesses interviewed also confirmed there were no staff over the weekend and that residents were left unattended. LE Medina also confirmed there were not staff present in the facility for approximately two hours due to last minute staff cancelations. LPA requested information about staffing for today and moving forward. LPA requested Licensees confirm with LPA by 4pm, today, the name and phone number of the staff member working at the facility this evening. LPA also will request for current staff, as well as the incoming staff member, to call LPA at time of entry to confirm residents are being provided adequate care and supervision. Staff issues are due to staff not being fully paid. A repeat civil penalty will be assessed for Finances 87213 for the amount of $4700 from 7/31 - 9/15/2026 at $100 days X 47 days. Based on LPA's interviews and observations, the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.

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.
Frequently asked questions
A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

What does The Hills of Broadway cost?
$3,800 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living shared bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 7 other homes of a similar licensed size in Costa Mesa that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $8,250 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 7 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 Hills of Broadway 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.
