6 residents — a small home, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

0 Type A and 2 Type B citations since 2022, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026. Those records count 9 state visits over the same years.

Is Vernon Cottage still open?

This license was on the CDSS roster as of September 28, 2026.

What does Vernon Cottage cost?

$5,600 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,550–$6,850. 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 15 small 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 22 other homes of a similar licensed size in Long Beach that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,500 a month, and the middle figure is $5,500 (n = 22 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 Vernon Cottage 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 Premiere Cottages Inc., per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026. See the homes licensed to Premiere Cottages Inc. — at least 3 on the state roster.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Memorialcare Long Beach Medical Center is 2.5 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Vernon Cottage keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, 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 15 small 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.

15 homes like this within 3 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,000–$8,050.

  • 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).

Jun 24, 2024Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Licensee does not allow resident to participate in private visitations while in care. Licensee is not allowing resident to participate in outings with family member(s).

On 06/24/2024, Licensing program Analyst (LPA) Mario Leon conducted a follow-up, unannounced, visit to the above-mentioned facility to deliver this amended document originally delivered on 04/25/2024. LPA was met by Elsa Roman, Assistant Administrator. The investigation consisted of the following: On 04/10/2024, Licensing program Analyst (LPA) Mario Leon conducted an initial complaint visit at the above-mentioned facility. LPA was met by Alexander Ramos, Caregiver (S2). LPA was later met by Elsa Roman, Administrator (S1), and the purpose of the visit was explained. On 04/10/2024 LPA requested facility documents for all staff who were present during resident one's (R1) presence and R1's hospice care plan. LPA interviewed four (4) staff who were present at the facility and three (3) out of six (6) residents. 3 residents were not available for interview. LPA interviewed two (2) witnesses. LPA conducted a plant inspection and records were reviewed. Report continues, see LIC9099C Substantiated The investigation revealed the following: Regarding the allegation: "Licensee does not allow resident to participate in private visitations while in care". It has been alleged that the Administrator, Jose Umana (S3), is not allowing resident one (R1) to have private visitations in his room. Record Reviews of the Provider Information Notices (PINs), PIN 21-48-ASC indicate that: “individuals who have Power of Attorney (POA), regarding both financial and health directive has no legal authority to control resident’s visitation rights, unless explicitly specified in the POA document and if the resident is not objecting. The resident has ultimate authority over such decisions.”. LPA did not observe any court order which would restrict family members from visiting R1. Interviews with R1 indicate that R1 is ok with private visits with family member(s), that R1 holds no preference as to who they hold private visits with, as well as having no preference as to who they can go with on any private outings. Records review of the POA documents indicate that there are no specific authority of control of a resident’s visitation rights. Interviews revealed that 4 out of 4 facilities’ staff claims to have followed a choice to disrupt a visit, based on the POA’s request. 3 out of 3 residents and 2 out of 2 witnesses have denied the allegation Based on record reviews, interviews conducted and LPA’s observation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title twenty-two (22), Division six (6) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Regarding the allegation: "Licensee is not allowing resident to participate in outings with family member(s).". It has been alleged that S2 is no longer allowing R1 to leave the facility with family member(s). Interviews revealed that 4 out of 4 staff, 3 out of 3 residents and 2 out of 2 witnesses have denied the allegation. While R1 has stated that they are O.K. to conduct outings with their family member(s), it has been recommended by the Power of Attorney (POA) that R1 should not be let out of the facility, for fear of relocation of R1. Record reviews revealed that, according to Provider Information Notices (PINs), PIN 21-48-ASC, R1 cannot be placed in a facility with secured perimeters. According to Health and Safety, Division 2 – Licensing Provisions, Chapter 3.2 Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly, Article 6.6 Secured Perimeters, 1569.698 (f) Any person who is not a conservatee and is entering a locked or secured perimeter facility pursuant to this section shall sign a statement of voluntary entry. The facility shall retain the original statement and shall send a copy of the statement to the department. R1 has not signed a voluntary entry for any secured perimeter facility and has not objected to conduct outings with family member(s). Report continues, see LIC9099C Based on record reviews and LPA observation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above allegation is found to be Substantiated.

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.

Who holds the licence

Premiere Cottages Inc., licensed since 2022, operates 2 licensed homes in California. Running more than one home is common and is neither good nor bad on its own.

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?
