We went to The Commons on Thornton. It was beautiful, actually. It was really nice, and the people looked so kind and so helpful. If I were to pick a place, that's where we would have put my aunt. We just decided not to, but it was very nice, very clean, and when we walked in we just felt good. The residents were happy, they were walking around, and it was just very welcoming. Even when I walked by rooms, people had their doors open, they were very friendly, and they enjoyed walking up for me to see a furnished place. It reminded me of a cruise: people come out of their rooms, they all meet, they play cards, but it was kind of distant because of COVID. But people were just enjoying themselves and were happy.

We chose Rose Place Memory Care for my husband. We needed a quick emergency placement, but also one that was affordable. He has been placed, so we are good for now. It is strictly for dementia and Alzheimer's patients, so it's very locked down and very secure. I have met quite a few of the staff, and I like them. I feel comfortable with him there. Communication has been good because he has needed quite a bit of medication adjustments, and sometimes I need to talk to him for a few minutes to calm him down from his severe hallucinations. They are on top of it. They let me know about the upcoming vaccine, and once the vaccine was done, how he was doing. There is really good communication. The facility itself is a little older. I don't want to say it's run down, but it was a little older. He's getting good care, though, from the people who work there. It's a good central location and it's easy to access. They have a good relationship with local hospice organization because he's also getting hospice care and that's a nice plus for me.

We chose The Commons on Thornton for my father. We're waiting for his doctor to release his medical records, and then he'll be moving in after that. We were very impressed with it. The residents themselves seemed very happy and engaged. The staff was very friendly. It was very clean and very organized, so we were very, very happy with what we saw. We did not try any food because of COVID, but we could smell it, and it smelled delicious, so I think it's probably good. They have several activities. They have some of the things that they do normally have that they have rolled out throughout the year that they're not able to do that right now because of the COVID, but they do have an exercise class going one day. We've visited three times, so one day they were having an exercise class and everybody was spaced out more than six feet away. They have a library so there were people in the library and some were reading, some were at a computer, and a few were playing cards. There's like a café, so there were people in the café. They were enjoying a cup of coffee or whatever, then they had residents and staff together, so that was nice to see. He's in assisted living, so it'll be a studio apartment. They come in I believe it's once a week, they clean it, and they do their laundry for them. Food and drink is available 24-hours, the meals are three times a day, but they do have snacks available. In my opinion, the three times that I was there it was very clean, the layout is nice, it's not confusing. They don't have like special events or anything right now, but if they're on a normal day when there's no COVID it's very engaging with the residents. Even just walking the house, the people group them by name, and were very friendly, so you could tell they engage with them. They don't have all the things that they would normally have. They have what they can right now.

My tour at The Commons on Thornton was very informative. They went over everything as far as what they had to offer and the prices. The person who gave us the tour answered all our questions. They also told me about all the activities and amenities that they had.

The Commons on Thornton was beautiful. I wish I could live there myself. They have everything. The rooms were very nice and well sized. The staff was very welcoming. The dining area was like a restaurant. I felt like I was on a cruise ship. It seemed like 4-star dining, and you could go in between mealtimes and get food. There were residents playing cards in one of the common areas. It's like a little community.

My aunt has moved into Camlu Assisted Living. It is nice and I like it. However, I wish they had more activities for her to do, i.e., more games and card games. I also wish there was a wider variety of food and that they had a separate lunch and dinner time. The staff members are fantastic. They're very nice people. The room looks nice and clean.

I visited the Oaks at Inglewood. I liked it, but we liked to do our own cooking, and they don't have room for that. They have a schedule for people taking them out for appointments. I looked at a 1-bedroom, and it's a little small, but wheelchairs could get in. They allowed dogs in the facility.

My dad is in The Oaks at Inglewood. It needs better management or better supervision. In my opinion, their instructions for their employees are lacking. In my dad's case, he had to pay for somebody to get him showered or give him a bath or something. But if you look at a person's duties, it doesn't say "to shower" or "to shave him", you're paying for the service, but there's nothing documented that you can hang your head on. That's my biggest complaint. And the fact that it's changing hands, I was waiting for the new organization to come in and have a meeting because it was lacking. We pay extra money for the service when they come and help them go to the bathroom or change his pants. There's a lack of enthusiasm there even though they're getting paid. In terms of food, Pegasus allows residents to go outside the community, like to Best Buy or wherever you can get it, while in other communities you have to buy the food from them. I've tasted the food, and if I decide to have lunch there I can look at the menu and decide what I get. They're supposed to come in and vacuum the rooms or once a year shampoo the carpets, but I haven't seen them do that yet. We pay for the laundry too but they don't fold it. And they're supposed to do all that, and put them in the drawers, but that doesn't happen. I have always seen them do plenty of activities and picnics, one time I even went out there and helped him barbecue burgers and hotdogs. The new organization just took over for about three weeks now. In my opinion, the patients are getting ripped off because there's on check and balance. Nobody signs off saying "I was in this room today and I cleaned it" or "I gave this resident a bath". And there are days when there's no hot water and my dad is not getting credit for it.

Rio Las Palmas was probably the best place we went to. The place was really spacious and clean. The staff was good, and they looked like they ran a pretty tight ship. Everything in there was beautiful. The first thing you see is a really grand entrance area with a really big sitting area in the entrance way and a lot of people congregate there. There's a piano, food and water, and a fountain. It's just a really pleasant area as soon as you walk in. The rooms were spacious enough for wheelchair access. They also had probably the most to offer as far as things to do seven days a week, five times a day. They have something to do for everyone. The best part of it was they listened to the residents because a few of them requested for a music room, and they were in the middle of converting a room that they don't use into a music room for them. They go above and beyond. The kitchen area was nice and they have a huge outdoor area which has got to be half an acre. It's all updated and very nice. I would live there.
Genworth’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
