Quick answers about Yellow Rose Assisted Living

Is Yellow Rose Assisted Living licensed?

The state lists this license as “Licensed,” per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

How many residents is Yellow Rose Assisted Living licensed for?

15 residents — a mid-size home, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

Has Yellow Rose Assisted Living been cited?

0 Type A and 0 Type B citations, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

Is Yellow Rose Assisted Living still open?

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

What does Yellow Rose Assisted Living cost?

$6,250 a month to start is typical in San Luis Obispo County, likely $4,200–$9,250. This home’s own rate is not on file. Ask: “What is the all-in monthly rate, and what would push it higher?”

Too few nearby homes publish a rate, so this is the typical starting rate 9 homes with 7 to 49 beds publish in San Luis Obispo County, with a wider likely range. This home’s own rate is not on file.

Among 8 other homes of a similar licensed size in Paso Robles that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $5,000 to $6,250 a month, and the middle figure is $5,475 (n = 8 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 Yellow Rose Assisted 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 Tesfazgy Corp., per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026. See the homes licensed to Tesfazgy Corp. — at least 2 on the state roster.

Can Yellow Rose Assisted Living keep a resident on hospice?

Not on file — the state’s record does not list hospice care on this license. Ask: “Can a resident stay here on hospice, and under what conditions?”

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 worksWhy this is a county figure

Too few nearby homes publish a rate, so this is the typical starting rate 9 homes with 7 to 49 beds publish in San Luis Obispo County, with a wider likely range. This home’s own rate is not on file.

  • 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).

Type of visit: Prelicensing

On 8/12/2026 at 12:30pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Haner-Tomasko arrived at the scheduled time to conduct the facilities pre-licensing inspection. This is a change of ownership application for a current facility with residents in care. LPA met with Licensee/Administrator Abiy Tesfazgy, announced who he was and the reason for the visit. Licensee and LPA toured the interior and exterior of the facility. This is a single story facility with ten (10) resident bedrooms (two are dual occupancy). The fire clearance is approved for a total capacity of twelve (12) residents; six (6) nonambulatory and (6) bedridden. (Bedrooms one (1) and nine (9) are approved for dual nonambulatory occupancy; bedrooms eight (8) and ten (10) are approved for single nonambulatory occupancy; and bedrooms two (2), three (3), four (4), five (5), six (6), and seven (7) are approved for single bedridden occupancy). Upon entering the facility from the front door there is a dining room, kitchen, and living room. LPA noted plenty of seating in the living room and dining room for residents and visitors. The living room has a wood burning fireplace with glass doors for resident safety, Licensee states they do not have plans to use and never have used the fireplace. The living room also has a piano for residents and visitors to use. To the south of the living room are four (4) of the resident bedrooms and a full public bathroom. To the north of the living room is an activity room, the remaining six (6) resident bedrooms, one full public bathroom, a half staff only bathroom, and an office. Off of the dining room is access to the laundry room through a locked door for resident safety. LPA noted fresh fruit and snacks in the kitchen for residents to enjoy freely. (Continued on LIC809-C) The facility has wired and battery-operated smoke detectors in each bedroom and hallway leading to bedrooms that are all working. There is a carbon monoxide detector in each hallway and functioning normally. LPA observed fire extinguishers throughout the facility that were tagged current and in the green compression range, serviced on 11/6/2025. LPA tested facility hot water at 105.0°F, within regulation temperatures 105-120°F. LPA observed at least 2-days of perishable and at least 7-days of nonperishable foods. LPA noted that the facility has no obstructions in hallways, doorways or exits. Medications are locked in a cabinet in the kitchen area. Staff and client files are also locked. LPA noted that the backyard and the front yard both have seating and shade for residents and visitors. Licensee and LPA conducted a full review of the pre-licensing Compliance and Regulatory Enforcement (CARE) tools. This Licensee was also the previous owner and has one other facility currently licensed by Community Care Licensing, the Comp III training tools are being waived. This report will be sent to the Centralized Application Bureau (CAB). The Licensee will be notified by the CAB Analyst when their license has been approved. Exit interview conducted, report signed, and report provided to the Licensee.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 12, 2026

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?
