What it costs
There is no reliable county-only price index, so the credible reference is the regional median from the CareScout / Genworth Cost of Care Survey (2025): assisted living around $7,000/mo, a semi-private nursing-home room around $12,167/mo. See the full cost breakdown →

How we compiled this: every figure is drawn from official public records — California CDSS Community Care Licensing (assisted living, home care), California CDPH Licensing & Certification (skilled nursing, home health), and federal CMS Care Compare (ratings, staffing, penalties) — and refreshed monthly as those sources update. We take no referral fees and rate no one; missing values are shown as unknown rather than estimated. Always confirm current status on the official record linked from each facility page.
