Among the 80 Santa Rosa communities on Senior Places with a starting price on file, the median starting price is $4,800 a month. The middle half of those communities start between $4,800 and $5,500, and the full range is $1,000 to $7,600 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 86 senior living communities in Santa Rosa, California: 84 offer assisted living, 25 offer memory care, and 8 offer independent living (many offer more than one). Of these, 65 are small residential care homes licensed for six residents or fewer, and 21 are larger communities. 85 of them carry a California Department of Social Services license number on their profile; in California, assisted living and memory care are licensed as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE).

In Santa Rosa, 1 community is on the state's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) participating-facility list or reports 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. 82 of the 86 Santa Rosa 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, 15 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.
