19 Fontana communities on Senior Places have a starting price on file, and 11 of them show the same figure, $3,400 a month. That number is a market estimate for the area rather than a rate each community quoted, so treat it as a ballpark. The quoted prices on file run from $3,400 to $4,500 a month. A starting price is the lowest monthly rate on a community's listing, usually a shared or studio room at the lightest level of care; some listings carry a market estimate instead of a quoted rate. Care fees, level-of-care charges and a second-person fee are added on top, so ask every community for an all-in monthly quote for the care your person needs.

Senior Places lists 20 senior living communities in Fontana, California: 20 offer assisted living and 1 offer memory care (many offer more than one). Of these, 19 are small residential care homes licensed for six residents or fewer, and 1 is a larger community. Every one of them carries a California Department of Social Services license number on its profile; in California, assisted living and memory care are licensed as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE).

In Fontana, 4 communities are on the state's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) participating-facility list or report accepting it. The ALW lets eligible Medi-Cal members pay for assisted living or memory care through Medi-Cal instead of private funds, but only communities enrolled in the program can accept it. Use the ALW filter on this page to see just those communities, and confirm current enrollment and any waitlist directly with the community.

Yes. 15 of the 20 Fontana communities on Senior Places show their California Department of Social Services inspection history on the profile: inspection visits, complaints, and Type A and Type B citations. Of those, 4 have had at least one Type A citation, the state's most serious kind, in the past three years. The records come from the state's public facility search and are refreshed regularly, so a citation on a profile is one to ask the community about on a tour, not a reason to rule it out on its own.
