- 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.

How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on AssistedLiving.com, 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.

Allegation investigated: Staff handled resident roughly Staff did not notify authorized representative of an unusual incident with resident Staff falsified documents
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brian Balisi conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint visit to deliver final findings of the allegations listed above. Upon arrival LPA met with Executive Director Brandy McCauley and explained the reason for the visit. On 05/06/2026, LPA conducted an initial 10-day complaint visit to investigate the allegations listed above. At approximately 10:00 a.m. LPA conducted physical plant tour, interviewed staff and residents, obtained and reviewed Safely U Footage as well as obtained copies of pertinent documentation relevant to the investigation. On 08/21/2026, LPA conducted a subsequent complaint visit to continue investigation on the allegations listed above. At approx. 10:05 a.m. LPA conducted physical plant tour, interviewed staff, residents, families / responsible parties, as well as reviewed and obtained additional copies of pertinent documentation relevant to the investigation. On 09/01/2026, LPA reviewed additional records obtained from the facility. Substantiated Continued from 9099 It was reported that "Staff handled resident roughly" as it was alleged that Staff #1(S1) forcibly removed clothing on Resident #1 (R1) by yanking on garments, then physically redirected R1 when they resisted. Safely U video footage obtained and reviewed of the incident reflected that on 04/24/2026, S1 was assisting R1 with changing clothes in R1’s room, during which S1 repeatedly held and controlled R1’s wrist or arm as R1 attempted to walk away, including gripping both hands around R1’s left wrist, redirecting R1 by pulling the wrist and maintaining physical control despite R1’s hesitancy. Additionally, video footage reflected S1 attempts to remove R1’s pants in spite of R1’s reluctance, during which R1 loses balance and falls backward onto the couch. S1 is then seeing turning around to grab R1’s pants from the sofa, while R1 stands up. S1 then pushes R1 down on to the couch to put on R1’s pants on. Once fully clothed, R1 attempts to walk past S1 towards the entry way, S1 then steps in front of R1 attempting to redirect R1 towards the sofa/recliner even though R1 appears to be unwilling. During the interaction, R1 falls to the floor while S1 is holding on to R1’s wrist. S1 then continues to pull R1 by their wrist towards the recliner. Following the fall, S1 attempts to lift R1 from the floor, first pulling R1 by the upper left arm and then wrapping their arms around R1’s back. S1 is then visible calling for assistance using a walkie talkie. Interviews conducted and records reviewed further reflected that S1 was suspended following the incident and no longer is employed by the facility. On 04/28/2026, the community conducted an immediate in-service training on topics including but not limited to challenging behaviors in residents, redirection techniques, sundowning, and appropriate responses to resistant or combative behaviors. Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the Department has sufficient evidence to confirm this allegation occurred. Therefore, the allegation "Staff handled resident roughly" is Substantiated at this time. It was reported that "Staff did not notify authorized representative of an unusual incident with resident” and “Staff falsified documents” as it was alleged that R1 sustained a fall and that R1’s family/responsible party was not notified in a timely manner, although staff documentation indicated that notification had occurred. Interviews conducted and records reviewed revealed that R1 sustained a fall on 04/24/2026. Narrative charting notes dated 04/24/2026 through 04/25/2026 indicated that S2 documented that R1’s family/responsible party had been notified of the fall. However, interviews with R1’s family and the Generations Care Director, along with a review of records, revealed that S2 had been instructed to communicate to R1’s family the specific details of the incident. Continued from 9099-A It was reported that “Staff did not reassess resident as necessary” as it was alleged that R1 sustained falls on 04/23/2026, 04/24/2026, and 05/02/2026 and was not evaluated in a timely manner. Interviews and record review showed that on 04/23/2026, R1 had an unwitnessed fall while attempting to walk to the bathroom. On 04/24/2026, R1 fell while S1 was forcibly attempting to change R1. On 05/02/2026, R1 was observed sitting on the floor in a common-area hallway. Records review of incident reports reflected that following each fall, R1's vital signs were obtained and R1 was assessed for the need for hospital evaluation. The facility also documented notifications of the physician by fax, family by telephone, and management. In addition, review of Physician communication records reflected that on 04/23/2026, the physician instructed the facility to continue the current plan of care. On 04/24/2026, the record indicated that there was no response from the physician. On 05/02/2026, the physician again instructed the facility to continue the current plan of care. Fall-risk evaluations were completed by the Generations Director on 04/26/2026 and 05/03/2026. Furthermore, on 05/12/2026, the Executive Director, Generations Director, R1's family, and the Ventura County Ombudsman met to review R1's service plan. The meeting addressed R1's recent falls, ongoing care needs, interventions, and care recommendations. The service plan was subsequently updated based on the recommendations discussed. R1 was admitted to hospice services on 05/14/2026. Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the Department does not have sufficient evidence to corroborate the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the above allegation, “Staff did not reassess resident as necessary” is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted and copy of report issued. Continued from 9099-C According to the Generations Care Director, S2 confirmed understanding of the instruction and documented in the incident report, as well as verbally stated, that S2 had contacted R1’s family. On 04/29/2026, R1’s family met with the Generations Care Director to review footage of a fall that the family had previously been informed had occurred on 04/23/2026. During the meeting, the Generations Care Director asked whether the family had also been notified of the subsequent fall that occurred on 04/24/2026. The family member stated that they had no knowledge of the 04/24/2026 fall and confirmed that the communication they had received was regarding the 04/23/2026 fall. LPA’s interview with ten (10) staff members, including the Generations Care Director and Executive Director. Interviews indicated that staff understood that, when an incident occurred, the Med Tech was responsible for notifying the resident’s family/responsible party, primary care physician, hospice, home health, and management, as applicable. Staff also understood that notifications were to be documented and supported by confirmation of receipt through fax, email, text message, telephone call, or other applicable means. Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the Department has sufficient evidence to confirm this allegation occurred. Therefore, the allegation " Staff did not notify authorized representative of an unusual incident with resident” and “Staff falsified documents” is Substantiated at this time. Pursuant to Title 22, California Code of Regulations and/or CA Health and Safety Code, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 9099-D.) Executive Director was informed that failure to correct may result in civil penalties.

Allegation investigated: Staff are not following residents’ special diet. Staff are not safeguarding the residents’ personal belongings. Staff is retaliating against resident. Facility does not have sufficient staff to meet the needs of residents in care.
On 05/07/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeffries arrived unannounced at the facility to issue final findings to the allegations to this complaint, as well as this facility annual inspection on a separate report.. LPA noted that this visit included issuing final findings to all allegation of a separate complaint (29-AS-20251024145127) at the same facility location under a different Community Care Licensing (CCL) facility file number (565802467) that is was closed on 06/13/2025 and last updated on 10/28/2025. LPA met with Administrator, Brandy McCauley, announced who he is and the reason for the visit. As to the allegation of, “Staff are not following residents’ special diet.” It was alleged that facility continues to feed the resident (R1) pasta, potatoes and bread. And, R1 had asked for a cheeseburger with no bun and the staff told him they don't know how to use the new stove to cook him a cheeseburger. On 10/23/2025 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Emily Peraldi conducted interviews with Staff 1-6 (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6). All staff stated that residents with a modified diet are facilitated with a modified diet on a daily basis. On 10/23/2025, CONTINUED on LIC9099-C Unsubstantiated LPA Peraldi conducted an interview with facility Executive Director (ED), Brandy McCauley, who stated that R1 was determined by his physician to be capable of managing their own medications and diet. ED stated that R1 “mostly follows (R1’s) special diet but once in a blue moon R1 has crackers and cookies. ED stated they have communication with his doctor.” On 03/20/2026, LPA Mark Jeffries conducted interviews with Residents 1-6 (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6). R1 stated that the facility is good about providing restrictive diet menus. R1 stated that the facility community activities there are prizes that consist of candy, and the facility does provide sugar free candy, but sometime R1 likes to eat the regular candy as well. R1 stated that occasionally R1 will eat menu choices that are not part of the special diet by choice. R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 all stated, “facility is good about menu choices. And facility is good at providing special diets that are needed for residents. On 03/20/2026, LPA conducted an interview with facility Chief (S6) S6 demonstrated to LPA how special diets are identified in the facility kitchen so that the staff deliver special diets to residents that have special dietary needs, and requirements. Residents that are identified with special diets are posted on the kitchen wall with the resident’s name and what special diet is identified to a specific resident. S6 stated that these special diets are always available and presented to the residents that are identified. S6 stated that if those residents request additional food items or off the menu items they are provided with and the care staff is notified that the special diet was not followed. Based on documentation of special diet screening, interviews of resident stating availability of special diets provided by the facility, and interviews of residents exercising specific dietary choices, there is not enough evidence at this time to support the allegation of, “Staff are not following the residents’’ special diet.” and is unsubstantiated at this time. As to the allegation of, “Staff are not safeguarding the residents’ personal belongings.” and “Staff is retaliating against residents.” It was alleged that R1 lost 3 sets of pajamas in laundry and staff were retaliating against R1 due to not returning R1’s pajamas from laundry and not properly folding cleaned laundry. On 10/23/2025 LPA Peraldi conducted interviews with S1 - S6, all staff stated that there were no concerns regarding residents’ items being safeguarded by facility. S3 stated that, “Sometimes laundry gets mixed up and they check other rooms and linen closet. Usually, missing items are found.” However, R1’s missing items were never found over one year ago. On 03/20/2026, LPA Jeffries conducted interviews with R1-R6, R1 stated that the there was only one set of pajamas that were lost and, “never found or maybe I misplaced them.” R1 also stated that they have no issue with facility safeguarding personal property. R2-R6 all stated that they had no issues with facility safeguarding residents’ property. CONTINUE on LIC9099-C On 10/23/2025 LPA Peraldi conducted an interview with ED who stated, “staff have been trained on resident’s personal rights. She said they use Relias training. She said residents’ personal rights are posted on the wall. She said staff wouldn’t retaliate against residents. She said staff are loving and they know about personal rights.” On 03/20/2026, LPA Jeffries reviewed care giver training records for the facility and noted that all caregivers had current “Residents Personal Rights” training through Relias training program. Based on interviews, and records review, at this time there is not enough evidence to support the allegation of, “Staff are not safeguarding the residents’ personal belongings.” and “Staff is retaliating against residents.” and both are unsubstantiated at this time. As to the allegation of, “Facility does not have sufficient staff to meet the needs of residents in care.” It was alleged that staff are getting fired or leaving and there are no staff available for R1. On 10/23/2025 LPA Peraldi conducted an interview with ED who stated, “that they have enough staff to meet needs. She said there are no staff concerns or staffing shortage. In Memory Care (MC) there are three (3) caregivers and three (3) in Assisted Living (AL). She said there are medication technician (med-techs) on each shift.” On 10/23/2025 LPA Peraldi conducted interviews with S1-S6, all stated no concerns with staffing ratios.

LPA Jeffries reviewed current facility staff schedules which showed care giver coverage that reflected staff converge in staff and resident interviews. At this time there is not enough evidence to support the allegation of, “Facility does not have sufficient staff to meet the residents needs.” and is unsubstantiated at this time.

Allegation investigated: Facility does not have sufficient staff to meet the needs of residents in care
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Teresa Camara conducted a subsequent complaint investigation visit. LPA met with Executive Director (ED) Brandy McCauley and explained the reason for the visit. On 6/6/2025, LPA Mosley conducted the initial complaint investigation visit. During that visit LPA Mosley interviewed ten (10) residents who all stated their care needs were met by staff and they had no complaints about the care they were receiving. LPA Mosely interviewed three (3) staff and the ED during that visit. Staff stated when other staff call out staffing can be short, but they still meet the needs of the residents. The ED stated when they have staff unexpectedly call out, they ask on-call staff to take the shift. If on-call staff are not available, they will ask other staff to stay late or come in early or one of the management team step in to assist. (continued on LIC9099C) Unsubstantiated (continued from LIC9099) During today’s visit, LPA Camara obtained pertinent documents and interviewed the Resident Care Coordinator (RCC) at 10:50 a.m. and the ED at 10:30 a.m. Both stated they have procedures for meeting staffing needs. If they still are unable to find staff to fill spots, the ED will get agency staff to cover, but they have not needed agency staff in about a year because they are able to cover call outs. LPA reviewed the schedules for both assisted living and memory care. In assisted living the facility typically schedules four caregivers and two medication technicians on the morning shift (6:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.) and the afternoon shift (2:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. The overnight shift (10:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m.) (NOC shift) typically has two caregivers and one medication technician. The memory care typically has three or four caregivers and a medication technician during the morning and afternoon shifts and one caregiver and one medication technician during the NOC shift. Based on interviews and records reviewed, the allegation “Facility does not have sufficient staff to meet the needs of residents in care” is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. The ED was unavailable to sign this report. The Business Office Director Harmony Langarica signed on the ED's behalf. No citations issued. Exit interview conducted and report issued.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 9, 2025 · control 29-AS-20250602093028

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.

What does The Palms at Bonaventure cost?
$4,675 a month to start — listed by the home on AssistedLiving.com · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on AssistedLiving.com, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 25 other homes of a similar licensed size across Ventura County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,934 to $5,120 a month, and the middle figure is $4,495 (n = 25 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 Palms at Bonaventure 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.
