What does The Peninsula Regent cost?

$6,034 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 19 other homes of a similar licensed size across San Mateo County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,613 to $8,253 a month, and the middle figure is $6,495 (n = 19 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.

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home is not on the DHCS participation list dated September 23, 2026. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

How people payPrivate pay, Medi-Cal waiver, SSI/SSP, veterans, insurance
  • 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 September 23, 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.
  • VeteransVA Aid & Attendance can add to a veteran’s or surviving spouse’s pension. Ask whether residents here have used it.
  • Long-term care insuranceMost policies pay for licensed care homes. Ask what paperwork the home provides for claims.
  • MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
If the money runs out, what Medi-Cal covers
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 community 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.

  • What is the full monthly cost for the room and care we need, and what does it include?
  • What would the next care level cost, and who decides when it changes?
  • What is billed separately, and is there a one-time fee or deposit at move-in?
  • Is any private-pay period required before another payment program can begin?
How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on AssistedLiving.com, seen September 9, 2026.

17 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,200–$9,850.

  • 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).

Allegation investigated: Staff do not ensure call button alerts are responded to in a timely manner Resident sustained an injury while in care Staff do not ensure residents are spoken to in an appropriate manner Staff handle residents in a rough manner

LPA Jeung met with executive director and health and wellness director to discuss allegations regarding client #1 and reviewed client file, including emergency call system log of responses to client #1 from 4/1/24 to 5/21/24. Care staff was interviewed. Based on information reported by staff and review of facility records, these allegations are substantiated. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met. As per review of facility's Alarm History Report of emergency calls from room 123--where client #1 resides--for period 4/1 - 5/21/24, it is noted that client activated the alarm frequently; alerts were recorded almost daily, and several times on each day. On at least 16 occasions over the period of 51 days, staff responded 15 minutes or more after the alert was activated. Continued Substantiated Continued from page ONE Incident of 5/4/24 was documented and reported to licensing agency after client's family observed discoloration on client's arms and a skin tear. Upon facility's investigation, a staff was found to be responsible for handling client roughly, resulting in bruises and skin tear on client's arms. In addition, this staff did not respect client's wishes to rest instead of getting up for breakfast; she was perceived as rude and impatient when interacting with client. Facility terminated this staff on 5/15/24.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 27, 2024 · control 14-AS-20240514110539

Ask every home the same questions — the state’s record does not answer these. Keep the ones that matter and they travel with your saved homes.

  1. What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
  2. Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
  3. Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
  4. What could change whether someone can stay here?
