What does The Robin's Nest cost?

$3,750 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,050–$4,650. 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 3 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 18 other homes of a similar licensed size in Anaheim that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,100 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 18 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 Robin's Nest take Medi-Cal?

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.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by Martha Crawford, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Garden Grove Hospital and Medical Center is 2.1 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can The Robin's Nest keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 1 resident, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

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 worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 9 small homes and similar homes within 3 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.

9 homes like this within 3 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,500–$4,500.

  • 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: Facility staff did not provide resident reappraisal upon change in condition

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hanna Gough made an unannounced inspection for the purpose of investigating the above mentioned complaint allegation. LPA was greeted and granted entry and met with Administrator (AD) Martha Crawford and discussed the purpose of the visit. The investigation into the allegation facility staff did not provide resident reappraisal upon change in condition revealed the following: During the course of the investigation, the department interviewed the responsible party, staff and residents in care. During interviews with Staff (S1) it was revealed that on December 28th, 2024, Resident 1(R1) sustained a fall and was sent to the hospital. S1 informed the department that there is a clause in the admission agreement for a rate increase if there is a change in condition for R1. S1 informed the department that they were planning to update R1 needs and services plan. Upon record review, it was revealed that the last appraisal was updated on February 15, 2020 and the last needs and services plan was updated on March 1, 2020. Continue on 9099-C Substantiated Based on LPAs observations, interviews and information gathered during the investigation and review of all documents obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is deemed SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22 Division 6 is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted with AD Martha Crawford and a copy of this report along with LIC 9099D and appeal rights were given at the time of inspection. The text message was sent on December 28, 2024, the same day as the reported fall. The text message also revealed that on December 28th, 2024 S1 informed R1s responsible party that they contacted ambulatory services and that R1 was being transported to the hospital. S1 informed LPA that the fall happened around 3pm ambulatory services came after 3pm and then they informed R1s responsible party while the paramedics were here via text message at 4:28PM. Based on LPAs observations, interviews and information gathered during the investigation and review of all documents obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met, therefore the above allegations are deemed UNFOUNDED. Meaning that the allegations facility did not report unwitnessed falls to authorized representative and facility staff did not seek timely medical attention for resident was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. The department therefore dismissed the complaint. An exit interview was conducted with AD Martha Crawford and a copy of this report was left at the facility.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jun 16, 2025 · control 22-AS-20250303123024

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 and the questions below stand in their place.

Life here

Rooms, meals, the rhythm of a day, faith and language, pets and house rules — as the home describes them. Tap any detail for its source and date; nothing here is graded.

The home has not described daily life anywhere we have reviewed yet — that is the case for most small homes, and it says nothing about the home. These questions fill in the picture; keep the ones that matter to you.

Before you call

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?
  5. Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
