What does Westfield Senior Living cost?
$5,300 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,350–$6,500. 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 13 small homes within 5 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 228 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,300 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 228 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 Westfield Senior Living 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 Westfield Senior Living, Inc., per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Kaiser Foundation Hospital - Woodland Hills is 2.7 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

- 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.
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 13 small homes within 5 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.
13 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,500–$5,500.
- 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: Licensee used full bed rails for non-hospice resident.
On 8/7/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Perchui Milena Khurshudyan conducted a subsequent complaint visit at this facility to conclude the investigation regarding the above allegation and to deliver the final report. Upon arrival LPA met with the facility Caregiver Anahit Grigoryan and explained the reason for the visit. Entrance interview conducted. During the initial visit on 9/19/24, LPA Khurshudyan conducted interviews and records review. At 10:15am LPA requested resident and staff roster. At approximately 10:20am, requested copies of pertinent information which include, but not limited to Physician’s report, Admission Agreement, Appraisal Needs and Services Plan, Staff Training, Incident Reports, and potential documents relevant to the investigation. At 10:30am, LPA with the help of facility Administrator, conducted a physical plant tour to ensure health and safety of the residents are protected. Between 10:50am – 1:30pm, LPA interviewed two (2) out of four (4) residents who were able to communicate, two (2) caregivers, and Administrator. Continue on 9099-C Substantiated During today’s visit, LPA requested copies of resident and staff rosters. At approximately 11:40am, LPA conducted a physical plant tour, to ensure health and safety of the residents are protected. No full bed observed on residents' beds. Allegation: Licensee used full bed rails for non-hospice resident. It was reported and stated by RP that on 08/27/2024, s/he noticed full bed rails were installed on R1's bed. RP states s/he believes the full bed rails were placed on R1's bed as a way to restrain him and keep him in bed. RP also states the full bed rails were still in place on 09/10/2024 when they moved R1 out to another facility. To investigate this allegation, LPA conducted interviews and collected R1's records for review. Based on interviews with the facility Administrator and two (2) caregivers, it was revealed that the Resident #1 (R1) was observed attempting to get out of bed independently despite his/her health condition requiring assistance. All staff members stated that R1 was at high risk of falling from the bed. In an effort to prevent a fall, staff utilized a full bed rail on R1's bed. Staff also stated that multiple times they asked R1's POA to speak with the physician to get R1 re-evaluated and request full bed rail order if with physician's approval. POA never requested stating R1 does not need full bed rail. LPA reviewed R1's records and observed that R1 was receiving Palliative care, however, there was no physician's order for the use of full bed rail at that time. Per Title 22 regulations, the use of full bed rail without a doctor's order constitutes a violation of the regulation. Based on observations, interviews, and records review there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the above allegation is Substantiated. Deficiency issued per CA code of Regulations Title 22 on LIC-9099D Exit interview conducted, appeal rights explained, and a copy of this report signed and delivered. During today’s visit, LPA requested copies of resident and staff rosters. At approximately 11:40am, LPA conducted a physical plant tour, to ensure health and safety of the residents are protected. Allegation: Staff did not assist resident with transfers. It was reported that S1 refused to move R1 out of bed because S1 said s/he was not comfortable moving R1. RP stated when asked S1 to put R1 in the wheelchair so R1 could go outside during a visit, S1 refused to get R1 out of bed. To investigate the allegation LPA conducted interviews with Administrator, S1 and S2, who denied ever refusing assisting residents with transfers. Interviews also revealed that due to some residents’ heavy weight or health issues sometimes 2 caregivers assistance is required for transfers from or to bed. Staff members confirmed that resident #1 (R1) family member got frustrated and complaint that R1 did not get assistance with transfer. The family member got explained that once the second caregiver finishes the round, R1 will get assistance. However, the family member refused to wait because they wanted assistance immediately and started to verbally attack caregivers. Interview with two (2) out of four (4) residents confirmed that staff never refused assisting residents with transfers whenever they asked for. Residents also stated that since R1 moved to the facility, family members expected R1 to have 24 hours of 1:1 care and always created arguments with staff members. Residents stated that they are very happy with the care and assistance they receive from the caregivers and would never move out to another facility. During the visit LPA also observed that residents receive adequate care by caregivers and caregivers provide proper assistance with transfers. Based on the observation, records review, and interviews, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that the facility staff fails to assist residents with transfers. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Allegation: Licensee does not provide planned activities for residents. It was reported that R1 was always in bed in the room just staring at the wall because R1 did not have a TV, and no activities were provided by staff. To investigate the allegation LPA conducted interviews with the Administrator, two (2) staff members, and two (2) out of four (4) residents who were able to communicate. Interview with staff members confirmed that, although various activities get provided to residents in care regularly, not all residents wish to participate or are capable of it, due to their diagnosis or health condition. Staff members confirmed they do morning exercises, art/coloring books, board games, memory games and music. Continue on LIC9099-C During the interview the administrator reported that his/her working hours are M/W 10am-7pm, Th-F 1pm-7pm, Sun 10am-5pm, that totals 37 hours per week, which meets the minimum requirement for administrator presence as outlined by Title 22 regulations. The administrator also added that due to his/her current condition of high-risk pregnancy, there have been occasional fluctuations in on-site hours related to frequent doctor appointments. However, s/he remains accessible via phone and is in regular communication with staff to ensure facility operations. Interview with residents revealed that the administrator is present at the facility several days each week and regularly engages in one-on-one conversations with residents to check on their well-being. Staff roster review also confirmed the administrator’s shift days and hours. Based on observation, interviews, and records review, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that the administrator is not present adequate hours to operate the facility. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Allegation: Licensee did not ensure staff administering oxygen to resident was appropriately trained. It was reported by RP when they moved R1 out from the facility, S1 was the only staff at the facility and s/he did not know how to connect R1’s oxygen to the oxygen tank, so R1 was without oxygen for 15 minutes, which caused R1 to have a medical episode once R1 was at the new facility. To investigate the allegation, interviews were conducted with the facility administrator, two (2) staff members, two (2) out of four (4) residents who were able to communicate, and with the Administrator where R1 transferred to. During the interview, the administrator confirmed that all staff members received training on administering oxygen to residents. The administrator also provided copies of all training materials for LPA’s review. The administrator also added that currently there is no resident in the facility who requires oxygen tank, however, Resident #1 (R1) who resided in the facility from 7/23/24 through 9/10/24 had the physician’s order to use oxygen during the nighttime and daytime as needed. LPA reviewed the oxygen and vital signs log for R1 and detected that staff followed proper procedures to monitor R1’s oxygen level daily and use the oxygen tank as needed. Although staff was providing sufficient care to R1, R1’s POA was very aggressive towards caregivers, demanding, and was arguing and verbally attacking everyone for everything. Interview with S1 confirmed that on the day when R1 was being transferred to another facility by POA and some family members, the POA asked S1 how to operate the oxygen tank and how to turn it On and Off, S1 showed the switch on the machine and explained the process that, although the machine is always connected to the power, there is a separate switch on the machine that once the nasal cannula gets installed on R1 that switch needs to get turned on as well. Continue on LIC9099-C Residents who have dementia and are mainly inside their rooms watching TV or listening to music, some residents refuse to participate in activities and staff can't force them. Staff members also stated that they always tried to engage R1 with activities, however, due to R1's mental status and severe Dementia, R1 was not interested in any of the activities provided to him/her and was always requesting to stay in bed. Interview with two out of four residents confirmed that caregivers do provide different activities during the day, for example painting, seat exercise in the morning, bingo, etc., however, they do not wish to participate every day. Residents also added that they prefer doing puzzles and other activities on their devices. During the visit, LPA observed cabinet with books, puzzles, art and craft activities, etc. Based on the observation, records review, and interviews, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that the facility does not provide planned activities to residents. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Allegation: Licensee operated facility over capacity. It was reported that there were seven residents being cared and the licensee operated facility over capacity.

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?
