$4,500 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

Among 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Luis Obispo that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $7,075 to $7,500 a month, and the middle figure is $7,500 (n = 5 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.

- 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.

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 Seniorly for assisted living one bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
14 homes like this within 15 miles publish starting rates mostly between $5,200–$7,500.
- 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).

Dec 19, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff did not provide resident with appropriate sleeping accommodations.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) De Leon conducted a 10-day complaint visit to the facility above. LPA was greeted by staff whom called Administrator and Administrator arrived shortly after. LPA explained the purpose of the visit to Administrator Evelyn Florentino. LPA De Leon took a tour of the resident bedrooms, took video and photos of the bed working, requested records and interviewed Administrator at 10:55 am, staff at 11:01am, witnesses at 11:50am and 1:00pm and residents at 10:48am and 11:59am. On the allegation: Staff did not provide resident with appropriate sleeping accommodations. LPA De Leon reviewed 3 resident Admission Agreements which revealed the Admission Agreement Pg. 3 Basic Services section (b) Safe and Healthful accommodations 1. Comfortable bed and suitable bedroom furniture. Continued 9099-C Unsubstantiated LPA interviewed residents which revealed Resident 1 (R1) was admitted to the facility on 11/17/2024 and brought R1's own hospital bed that had been purchased in 2020 in Oregon years prior to move in. The lower section of the bed is not working properly and R1 feels the facility knows how to fix it and is just not fixing it for R1. LPA conducted interview with Administrator which revealed Resident 1 (R1) brought in R1's own bed at admissions. The bed is a hospital bed and is not working correctly, the knee parts motor is going out and it will not work to lift and lower the knee section of the bed at all times. Administrator called several local businesses to see if they could fix the bed but due to it not being purchased from those companies they can not service it. Administrator notified family that is was not working correctly and family said they would take care of it. The facility staff contacted the manufacturer of the bed and on speaker phone walked the staff and R1 thorough the steps to try to lower the knee section of the bed, the staff was able to get the bed lowered so it can be used properly but the knee section motor is going out so it works at times and then doesn't at times to lift and lower the knee section of the bed. The Administrator offered to purchase a new bed from BestCare Pharmacy but R1 does not want the facility to purchase a new bed, R1 wants R1's bed fixed. the facility will do whatever is needed to accommodate R1 unfortunately the bed will probably need to be replaced as it can not be fixed and R1's family is aware and working on their end to get a replacement that will satisfy R1. R1 does have appropriate sleeping accommodations at this time. LPA conducted interview with staff 2 (S2) which revealed the staff contacted the manufacture of the bed and went through the steps of trying to fix it on speaker phone, the staff was able to go under the bed and fix the knee part to lower so the bed can be used but the knee section motor is not working properly all the time so it gets stuck in the higher or lower positon of the knee section. The manufacturer said it could be the knee section motor is going out and will need to be replaced or a new bed purchased and the company can not do anything for R1. The staff offered a bed that is stored in the garage but R1 refused the bed, the staff said they could purchase a new one and R1 said no R1 wants R1's bed fixed. The facility is unable to make that happen after several phone calls to the manufacturer. S2 talked to R1 and said that if R1 wants R1 knees raised and the bed is not working they can place pillows or cushions to elevate R1's knees and feet but that is not what R1 wants, R1 wants the bed fixed. Continued 9099-C LPA interviewed Witness 1 (W1) that stated the facility did make contact about the bed and W1 was looking into a replacement bed with the Veterans Association (VA) as the VA is who purchased the original bed and will find out if they can replace it due to it not working properly. W1 said the facility is doing what they can to accommodate R1 and R1 does have a bed to sleep in, it is just not functioning how it should and R1 wants the bed fixed not replaced. W1 will talk to R1 and explain that it may just need to be replaced and is working with the VA to get a replacement if that is what is needed. W1 will work with the facility and R1 to get this taken care of. LPA interviewed Witness 2 (W2) and W2 stated the facility does accommodate Resident 2(R2), the staff are great and attentive to W2's needs and they do contact W2 if something is needed for R2. R2 is always dressed and ready for visits and appointments. R2 does have visitors regularly and all reports to W1 have been great at the facility. W2 does not have any issues or complaints with the facility. LPA interviewed Resident 2 (R2) which revealed the staff are wonderful, always take care of R2's needs and R2 has never had any issues or complaints with the facility. Based on the evidence R1 has a bed to accommodate R1 at this time, the bed knee lift and lower is not working properly at all times, R1 has refused a new bed and a bed that is in storage, The facility has contacted everyone possible to get the bed fixed and has not been able to find anyone that can fix it, the motor is warring out and eventually will stop working at some point, W1 is working on getting a replacement bed for R1 through the VA. LPA observed the bed knee area to be working properly at the time of the visit. The facility has tried to accommodate R1 in every way but R1 wants R1's bed fixed and does not want a used bed or a new bed therefore this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.

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.
- What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
- Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
- Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
- What could change whether someone can stay here?
- Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
