What’s included, and common cost questions
What does the monthly price include? Usually rent, three meals, housekeeping and activities. Care is often priced separately by level of help.
Do prices go up? Most communities raise prices once a year. Ask how much the last increase was and how much notice they give.
Can Medi-Cal pay? Some assisted living communities take the Assisted Living Waiver. Ask 1440 by the Bay whether they do and if there’s a waiting list.

Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

I love the Watermark. The whole staff there hosts my company’s LGBTQ+ senior social luncheon. Stephanie, Grace, Remy, and the Christinas are amazing. We have a group of about 40-50 seniors that come every month, and everyone feels so welcome and leaves with smiles in their faces. Thank you all!
