Among the 12 Newport Beach communities on Senior Places with a starting price on file, the median starting price is $3,600 a month. The middle half of those communities start between $3,600 and $5,125, and the full range is $2,820 to $16,500 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 13 senior living communities in Newport Beach, California: 12 offer assisted living, 7 offer memory care, and 3 offer independent living (many offer more than one). Of these, 8 are small residential care homes licensed for six residents or fewer, and 5 are larger communities. 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 Newport Beach, 3 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. 13 of the 13 Newport Beach 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, 2 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.
