The type of care required and location are the two biggest determinants of senior living costs in Chino Hills. This is easy to see when comparing the average monthly rate for nursing home care ($7,559) with assisted living ($3,500). The $4,000 price difference is largely due to the skilled, 24-hour nursing offered to seniors who have extensive medical needs. Assisted living costs roughly $1,000 less per month than homemaker ($4,481) and home health aide ($4,576) services. This significant rate difference only increases when other costs of staying at home are added on, such as food, maintenance and utilities. These extra costs are already included in the room-and-board portion of assisted living rates.

Medicaid is the federal and state government-funded health insurance program available to low-income Americans of all ages. The federally regulated program is adapted and administered by each state to best meet the needs of its most vulnerable residents, including young children and their parents, expectant mothers, people with disabilities and the elderly.
Qualifying for California Medicaid
Residents of California who are American citizens or legal immigrants may qualify for no- or low-cost health care coverage through the state Medicaid program known as Medi-Cal. Seniors aged 65 or older and disabled or blind adults receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits are automatically eligible for full-scope Medi-Cal coverage. Others must meet the program’s financial requirements that allow:
All sources of income count toward the Medi-Cal limits, but some resources are disregarded, such as one vehicle, personal effects, a primary home and household furnishings.
Those who meet the functional requirements for institutional nursing home care can qualify at any income level. Approved applicants may keep $35 as a monthly personal needs allowance and any excess income up to the facility’s rate must go toward their care costs.
To apply for Medi-Cal, seniors can complete an application online, call (800) 300-1506 or visit the San Bernardino County Transitional Assistance office at 10825 Arrow Route in Rancho Cucamonga.
Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver
Medi-Cal eligible residents of Chino Hills who meet the requirements for long-term care coverage but want to avoid institutional nursing home admission may apply for the Assisted Living waiver. This Medi-Cal Home and Community-Based Services waiver is offered to provide seniors with a higher quality of life in a less restrictive environment and reduce the cost of long-term care. Applicants must be aged 21 or older and be:
The ALW program doesn’t cover the cost of assisted living room and board, but it does provide a number of support services, such as:
The ALW isn’t a Medi-Cal entitlement program and participation is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so approved applicants may be placed on a waiting list based on availability.
Chino Hills residents can learn more about the ALW or begin the application process by contacting the local Care Coordination Agency serving San Bernardino County, All Hours Adult Care, at (844) 657-4748.
Aid and Attendance and Housebound Benefits
Senior veterans or their surviving spouses who have increased care needs and costs and receive a standard VA pension may be eligible for a higher monthly payment through either the Aid and Attendance or Housebound program. To qualify for one of these two programs, applicants can’t be already receiving a VA disability pension and must earn less than $22,577 annually. Each program has care criteria as well:
Those applying for Housebound benefits must be largely confined at home due to a permanent disability.
Seniors applying for Aid and Attendance benefits must meet one of these conditions:
