Care Cost Comparison

There is a wide range of prices for senior care in Clovis, with nursing home care costing more than twice what assisted living does. In-home care from a home health aide or homemaker costs over $1,000 a month more than assisted living based on 44 hours per week of care services.  The differences in costs are largely based on the fact that nursing home prices include around-the-clock skilled nursing in a specialized, licensed facility that has a relatively high staff-to-senior ratio. In assisted living, seniors are generally responsible for their own personal care and medication management, and the staff-to-senior ratio tends to be lower than in a nursing home.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Clovis

Medicaid in California

Approximately 25% of California residents receive free health care coverage through Medicaid, the nationwide health insurance program that is funded by the state and federal governments. In California, Medicaid is known as Medi-Cal and administered through the Department of Health Care Services. 

To qualify for no-cost Medi-Cal coverage, seniors may earn no more than $1,242 a month and own no more than $2,000 in countable assets when applying as a single. Couples can earn no more than $1,682 and own no more than $3,000 in countable assets. 

Under Medicaid rules, countable assets include all cash and bank account balances, stocks, bonds, and investment and recreational real estate. One vehicle, personal belongings and a home owned by the applicant are exempt. Note that seniors who are deemed eligible for Social Security Income are automatically enrolled in Medi-Cal. 

Medi-Cal also offers coverage to seniors who have incomes that exceed Medi-Cal limits on a Share of Cost basis. Under an SoC agreement, seniors are required to spend a set amount each month toward medical costs before Medi-Cal benefits are activated. In many cases, the SoC requirement is more expensive than the price of private health insurance for seniors. 

Assisted Living Waiver

Medicaid-eligible seniors who need the type of care normally provided in a nursing home may qualify for coverage under the Assisted Living waiver, a home and community-based Medicaid waiver designed to reduce nursing home placement rates among Medicaid enrollees. 

The ALW helps seniors remain in an assisted living setting by providing additional medically required care services as recommended by a registered nurse through the local care coordinator agency. If approved for the ALW, seniors continue to pay the room-and-board portion of their assisted living costs while the ALW covers services such as skilled nursing, personal care, transportation assistance and medication management. Seniors are also required to live in one of the ALW participating facilities

For more information, contact Libertana of Central Valley, the ALW care coordination agency for Fresno County at (800) 750-1444. 

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Optional State Supplementation

Social Security Income recipients aged 65 and older who reside in an assisted living facility due to age-related disability or deterioration may be eligible for a state-funded SSI top-up through the California Optional State Supplementation program. 

Qualified seniors can receive up to a combined maximum monthly SSI/OSS payment of $1,194.37 when applying as an individual and up to $2,388.74 when applying with a spouse. 

For more information, contact the Fresno Social Security Administration Office at (800) 772-1213. 

Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly

The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly is a comprehensive, managed community-based care option for seniors 55 and older who are Medicare and Medicaid-eligible. 

PACE is designed to help seniors avoid or delay placement in a nursing home by providing a wide range of medical, social and recreational supports to seniors living at home or in an assisted living facility. Participation in PACE is voluntary and gives seniors access to a dedicated senior activity center, senior-orientated health care services and transportation assistance. Medication, durable medical equipment and personal care services may also be included.
