READ MOREGenworth’s 2018 Cost of Care study reveals that Stockton’s assisted living costs are relatively affordable at $3,500 per month. This is $500 less than the national average and $1,000 less than the California average. Bakersfield, Madera and Modesto are the only sizable cities in the state more affordable than Stockton.
Assisted living is substantially more expensive in other areas of California. In many major cities, including Los Angeles and San Diego, seniors pay $1,000 more monthly than they would in Stockton. In Santa Cruz, the average cost of assisted living is a whopping $5,595, which is over $2,000 more per month than Stockton.

The monthly price of long-term care varies depending on the type of services desired. Adult day health services are significantly less expensive than other options at just $1,679 per month. At $3,500, assisted living may seem expensive in comparison, but seniors who live in nursing homes pay more than twice that amount. Seniors who want to stay at home may consider homemaker or home health aide services, which cost an average of $4,957 per month. These options cost significantly more than assisted living, since they only include the cost of care itself. Seniors who remain at home are still responsible for household operating expenses, such as mortgage payments, maintenance, utilities, groceries and property taxes.

Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program, pays for medical services for eligible residents, including children, pregnant women, low-income adults and seniors, the blind and those with disabilities. The program provides a variety of free or low-cost health services, such as preventative care, emergency services, doctors visits, hospital care, dental and prescriptions.
Seniors who qualify for health coverage through Medicare can receive other services, such as short-term nursing care, in-home support and adult day programs, but not room and board in an assisted living facility. However, an individual may get help with this expense through the Medicaid waiver program detailed below.
Medi-Cal has income and resource requirements. The maximum allowable income is $16,146 per year for single seniors and $21,892 for couples. One-person households are permitted $2,000 in resources, while couples can have up to $3,000. Some assets, such as a home, car, clothing, household items and recreation items, are not counted toward the resource limit.
Seniors who earn too much to qualify for full Medi-Cal may be eligible for coverage with a share of cost. This means they must spend a predetermined amount of their income on medical bills before Medicaid kicks in. Those who receive SSI automatically qualify for full Medi-Cal coverage and don’t need to submit an application.
Seniors can apply for Medi-Cal by:
Optional State Supplementation
Stockton seniors who receive Supplemental Security Income may qualify for additional money through California’s Optional State Supplementation program to help pay room and board in an assisted living facility. For single seniors the maximum OSS payment is $412.30 per month, while couples may receive up to $824.60.
To learn more, call the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213.
PACE
Medi-Cal-qualified seniors may be eligible to receive medical, support and social services at no cost through the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly. Those who aren’t eligible for Medi-Cal can enroll in PACE by paying a monthly premium or the self-pay rate.
The PACE program coordinates and provides all the services needed to help a senior remain independent. Services may include medical care, prescriptions, help with activities of daily living, nutrition, dental, vision, hearing and transportation.
Stockton residents may qualify for PACE if they are 55 years of age or older and assessed as needing nursing facility care. With the help of PACE services, they must be able to live safely at home or in an assisted living facility.
Interested seniors can contact Stockton PACE at (209) 442-6077 to learn more.
Long-Term Care Insurance
Seniors who are worried about paying for long-term care in the future may consider long-term care insurance. This type of insurance helps pay for nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home care and other long-term care options.
Those who apply for long-term care insurance can expect to provide details about their health history, and seniors with extensive health issues may pay higher monthly premiums if they qualify.
Seniors who need help understanding a long-term care insurance policy or filing a claim can contact Elderlife Financial at (888) 228-4500.
Stockton’s six community centers offer a variety of programs for those age 50 and older. City residents can purchase a yearly senior membership for $25, which gives them access to daily and monthly events. Daily activities include fitness classes, card games and art groups. Senior luncheons, free haircuts and free Farmer’s Market produce are some of the monthly offerings.
The San Joaquin County Human Services Agency acts as the AAA for Stockton and the surrounding areas. The AAA can provide information about assisted living, Medi-Cal, waiver programs and other useful topics. It also provides referrals to social and supportive services. Family caregivers of seniors can access helpful resources, including support programs and caregiver training. San Joaquin County Human Services Agency
