- Private payMost residents pay from savings, a home sale or family help. Ask for the rate and what it includes in writing.
- 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.

- Long-term care insuranceMost policies pay for licensed care homes. Ask what paperwork the home provides for claims.

How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on its own website for assisted living starting price, seen October 5, 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.

Aug 6, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnfounded
Allegation investigated: Licensee is not according privacy to residents in care.
On August 6, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kayla Adkison arrived at the facility unannounced for the purpose of delivering complaint findings. LPA was greeted by Ilona Corpus, Executive Director, and explained the purpose of the visit. During the visit, there were 45 residents in the community and six (6) care staff. During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews, reviewed documentation, and made observations. Continued on the attached LIC 9099-C Unfounded Allegation: Licensee is not according privacy to residents in care. It was alleged the facility installed video surveillance cameras that were not affording residents in care with privacy, thus violating their personal rights. Complainant alleges that cameras were installed, specifically in the facility medication room, which included sound recording. It was further alleged that the camera was pointed directly at the medication room laptop, thus allowing resident’s private medical information to be observed by unknown individuals who did not have a need to know the information present. LPA Adkison interviewed Regional Director of Operations (DOO), Eric Hofstetter, who stated the camera system feed went directly to the Executive Directors cell phone. DOO claimed they had never viewed the footage, so they could not speak to where cameras were pointed. DOO reported that to the best of their knowledge, the cameras did not have any sound. LPA interviewed Executive Director (ED), Ilona Corpus, who stated the camera feed only went to her cell phone and no other staff member had access. ED stated there is no sound on any of the cameras and denied any private resident information being shared with anyone. LPA observed video feed on ED’s cell phone and observed no sound being emitted through the cameras. LPA observed the medication room camera, which had no clear view of the laptop in question. LPA further observed notification outside of the facility, notifying all residents and visitors of the presence of video monitoring in use. Finally, ED provided LPA with a sample copy of the resident admission agreement. In the Miscellaneous section under subsection “B”, there is information regarding the installation of the camera system for security purposes and further states the cameras are not monitored by staff. Based on documentation reviewed, interviews conducted, and observations made, the above allegation is found to be UNFOUNDED. A finding that the allegation is unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. No deficiencies are being cited as a result of this inspection. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was provided, via email, to Executive Director, Ilona Corpus.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 6, 2026 · control 59-AS-20260727100714
Jul 31, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff did not seek medical attention in a timely manner.
On July 31, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kayla Adkison arrived at the facility unannounced for the purpose of delivering complaint findings. LPA was greeted by Eric Hostetter, Regional Director of Operations, and explained the purpose of the visit. During the visit, there were 45 residents in the community and six (6) care staff. During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews, reviewed documentation, and made observations. Continued on the attached LIC 9099-C Unsubstantiated Staff did not seek medical attention in a timely manner. It was alleged that staff did not seek medical attention for a resident, R1, in a timely matter, resulting in R1 being hospitalized. A friend of R1 (F1) had arrived at the facility to visit with R1. When FF entered R1’s apartment, FF observed R1 to be in bed, non-verbal, and staring at the wall. FF described R1 as being in a “catatonic” state. FF stated they contacted a staff member who stated they would be in shortly to assist. FF claimed that approximately 20 minutes passed and no staff arrived. FF called R1’s responsible party (RP), and informed RP of the situation. RP then arrived at the facility and observed R1 to be in the same state. Emergency Medical Services were called and R1 was taken to the hospital. R1 was out of the facility for approximately two weeks at the hospital and a skilled nursing facility before returning to the memory care facility. LPA interviewed four (4) staff members regarding the circumstances of the allegation. Staff #2 (S2) and Staff #3 (S3) both reported similar details of the events. Staff reported the evening before the above allegation occurred, staff observed R1 to not be at their baseline. R1 was breathing and awake but was observed to be slow to respond. Staff followed protocol by informing the Director of Health and Wellness as well as R1’s responsible party (RP). RP reportedly did not want R1 sent out to the hospital and requested the facility stop administering a recently prescribed medication. The facility followed RP’s wishes by not calling EMS at that time and reportedly faxed R1’s Primary Care Physician (PCP) with the previously mentioned information. However, the PCP would not be returning to the office the following Tuesday, five days later. LPA reviewed the facility care notes documented for R1 and found a care note describing the same information on August 28, 2025, at 6:13 pm. S2 stated the next day, August 29, 2025, S2 reported to R1s room to check on them and discovered them in the previously mentioned “catatonic state.” S2 stated they consulted with the RP at that time, and it was S2 who called Emergency Medical Services (EMS). S2 noted they arrived at R1s room within a few minutes of the RP arriving and was not aware of who R1’s friend had informed spoke too. No other staff interviewed had any knowledge of R1’s visitor being present other than the RP. LPA reviewed R1’s care notes and discovered a care note that was input at 10:15 am on August 29, 2025, explaining the previously mentioned information. It was noted that EMS was called at approximately 8:30 am. Although the allegation may have happened, the preponderance of evidence has not been met, and the allegation is therefore UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview conducted. A copy of this report was forwarded to Executive Director, Ilona Corpus.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 31, 2026 · control 59-AS-20251118134548
Jul 31, 2026Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff not meeting resident hygiene needs Facility staff using resident hygiene products on other residents
On July 31, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kayla Adkison arrived at the facility unannounced for the purpose of delivering complaint findings. LPA was greeted by Eric Hostetter, Regional Director of Operations, and explained the purpose of the visit. During the visit, there were 45 residents in the community and six (6) care staff. During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews, reviewed documentation, and made observations. Continued on the attached LIC 9099-C Substantiated Allegation: Staff not meeting resident hygiene needs It was alleged that staff were not providing Resident #1 (R1) with regular showers as scheduled and documented in their Care Plan. It was further alleged that it took staff approximately three weeks to provide R1 with a shower. LPA interviewed Executive Director (ED), Jessica Smith, who reported that during the time R1 was a resident at the facility, showers were not regularly recorded on specific “shower log” types of documentation throughout the facility. ED stated that the previous “log” system did not have a way of determining who had received or refused showers, only that all scheduled showers for the shift had been completed. ED noted that since promoting to the role of ED, she has implemented a new shower log system that will keep better track of when residents are receiving showers. LPA reviewed 17 “End of Shift Reports”, provided by the facility, dated between June 8, 2025, and September 2, 2025, in which R1 was mentioned. Of these 17 reports, showers were noted for R1 on only 12. No shower was recorded between June 8 and June 28, or between July 5 and July 24, indicating an approximately three-week span between documented showers. LPA interviewed five (5) additional staff members. Staff #4 (S4) noted that after R1 had fallen and received a head wound requiring stitches, R1 would regularly refuse showers due to not feeling well and not wanting to get their stitches wet. S4 was not sure how long this occurred, but it was more than one time. S4 further stated that approximately one week before R1 moved out of the facility, S4 noted staff were not providing showers as needed to several residents, including R1. S4 claimed the concern was brought up to management and nothing was done about their concerns. Additionally, staff #1 (S1) noted that they remember R1 mentioning almost weekly that their shower had been missed. R1 stated that they would bring the concern up to the staff responsible or, if available, would help R1 themselves. S1 further stated that they would return from their scheduled days off, and R1 would complain of not receiving a shower or R1 would state that they showered themselves alone as they were “tired of waiting.” Staff #5 (S5) noted that although they were unaware specifically if R1 had not received their scheduled showers, that it was a regular occurrence that staff were not completing their duties or not documenting when things were completed for the oncoming staff member to be aware of. Continued on additional LIC 9099-C LPA reviewed R1’s care plans created at their move-in and subsequent reassessments. Each care plan indicated the resident was scheduled for showers at least three times a week with assistance. LPA further reviewed all care notes documented for R1 during their entire residency at the facility, of which there were no notations of R1 receiving or refusing any showers. Based on interviews conducted, documents reviewed and observations of the facility, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is cited on the attached LIC 9099-D. Facility staff using resident hygiene products on other residents It was alleged that during the time R1 resided at the facility, staff were using R1’s personal supply of wipes and/or briefs on other residents. LPA interviewed ED and five (5) additional staff regarding the allegation. ED stated that they were made aware of the allegation from R1’s family. ED questioned all staff regarding the allegation, to which, all denied using R1’s personal supply. ED reported R1’s family was provided with replacement wipes and furnished receipts as proof of purchase. LPA interviewed five (5) staff. Three staff corroborated this allegation and also stated that because of this concern, R1’s personal supply was then kept locked in storage where only few managerial staff had access. Based on interviews conducted, documents reviewed and observations of the facility, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is cited on the attached LIC 9099-D. Exit interview conducted. A copy of this report and Appeal Rights were provided to Executive Director, Ilona Corpus. Facility not communicating with responsible parties about transportation issues It was alleged that the bus/van that was used for resident transportation to doctor’s appointments was unavailable for a period of time and this was not properly communicated to residents or their responsible parties. Due to this, R1 reportedly missed medical appointments. LPA interviewed ED, who disagreed with the allegation. ED stated, “We (facility staff) transported (R1) to everything” and "There may have been an instance when concierge did not receive 48-hour notice to have (R1’s) appointment added to the calendar." LPA interviewed three (3) additional staff members who all stated they were unaware if families were notified about transportation changes. S5 stated the facility bus was out of commission for a period time for repairs and to be re-wrapped when the facility underwent a change of ownership. S5 stated that although they could not be certain if residents and families were informed of the change, S5 claimed the facility’s communication to families had historically been subpar. Although the allegation may have happened, the preponderance of evidence has not been met, and the allegation is therefore UNSUBSTANTIATED. Facility charging for services not being rendered It was alleged that the facility was charging R1 and their responsible party (RP) for services that were not being provided. It was alleged R1 was being charged for the medication management of 14 medications, while only actually taking “five or six.” Additionally, R1 was being charged for housekeeping services that were believed to not be provided regularly as it was reported that the family was cleaning feces in R1’s bathroom. Specifically, the allegations allege that the resident was being charged for level 5 LPA reviewed the residents’ initial Care Plan and reassessments. R1s most recent care plan before their move out indicated the resident was receiving Level 4 care. Additionally, there were 13 medications listed on the residents’ Care Plan, which included four (4) PRN (as needed) medications. LPA reviewed Medication Administration Records (MARs) which confirmed the resident was being provided with the additional nine (9) medications daily. Regarding housekeeping, the resident’s most recent care plan indicated that housekeeping was scheduled to perform cleaning duties once a week. Continued on the attached LIC 9099-C LPA interviewed ED who stated that during R1’s time at the facility, there were several meetings held with R1’s RP regarding the services being provided to R1. ED stated that the RP would repeatedly request to have the resident reassessed to “lower the points” on their care plan, thus making the monthly bill cheaper. ED stated “This made it so the resident was deemed pretty much independent for everything. (R1) would have to ask for help in most cases, if (R1) needed it.” Additionally, S5 noted that although housekeeping is scheduled to service resident rooms once a week, housekeeping does not clean up feces or urine and that is the responsibility of facility caregivers. With the resident being deemed mostly independent, with the exception of medication management and stand-by assistance for bathing and transfers, it would be reasonable to assume that the resident would need to ask for staff assistance for additional housekeeping needs. LPA reviewed R1s care notes for the entirety of the resident’s stay at the facility. On July 30, 2025, there was note made by ED stating “(RP) came into my office expressing some frustration with (R1s) level of care, (RP) says (RP) is still being billed for the wrong level of care and that (R1s) care has been extremely lacking. ED let (RP) know that I (ED) would follow up with BOM (business office manager) and Wellness Team.” LPA reviewed three separate assessments conducted by the facility on R1 during their five-month residency at the facility. Although the allegation may have happened, the preponderance of evidence has not been met, and the allegation is therefore UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview conducted.

What does The Lighthouse at Chico cost?
$3,250 a month to start — listed by the home on its own website · October 5, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on its own website for assisted living starting price, seen October 5, 2026.
Among 5 other homes of a similar licensed size across Butte County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $2,861 to $4,181 a month, and the middle figure is $3,500 (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 The Lighthouse at Chico 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.
