I moved my wife to Stonebrook Healthcare Center so far, I'm very, very impressed. They answer their phones after 3 rings and sometimes sooner. They pass you over to the station area where my wife is and they pick up, and the nurses have been just awesome over there. I don’t care if they're from America, Philippines or from a Hispanic country; they're all equally as nice. At the other place I didn't get that, I got a lot of frosty attitude from the nurses whether they're registered nurses or LVN. So, this place here has a good staff person that makes sure these people understand what this Covid stuff floating around us is. We can't get in there and see our loved one so they do have to step up and that's just the fact, if they don't then people like me will probably break the doors down to get in and see my wife. We can do window visits everyday if we want. I went out bought a baby monitor so we could talk through the window, I bought her own tablet so we could communicate via vid chat whenever we want. They have all their patients in their own rooms regardless because they don't want a Covid spread of any kind. They're very cautious but she has the bed by the window so I can walk up from the parking lot and go right to her window and talk with her as long as the nurse could turn on the baby monitor. As far as looking at the room, I don't think I've ever seen a hospital room or a care facility that had matching furniture, but it's very nicely furnished. The carpet is obviously commercial grade and it looks like they just put fresh carpet in. I don't even call it carpet I call it soft floor because they need that for a wheel chairs over, and of course they can't have a fancy carpet. They won't even let me go in the lobby in the front of the building because that's how strict they are, and that's fine, I respect that. As far as cleanliness on the place, visually it looks very clean. They have a nice courtyard I went by that the other day just to check the place out and it's well-kept and well landscaped. Cleanliness appears to be there, they practice it on the exterior, and the rooms appear to be clean and even my wife looks like she's been taken care of. They've given her more bed baths and eventually they'll get her up and start taking her to the shower. She even looks healthier. Medicare was gonna stop coverage for my wife, so I appealed with the help of a lady from Stonebrook. She gave me information and I did the right thing and spoke with the Medicare facilitator. She's not eating; she still got an intravenous tube so they're feeding her through a nutrient bag. It's a lot cleaner, a lot nicer, and more of an independent living lifestyle for her like having care around her and not really just her care but somebody is there for emergencies and stuff.

My husband has been in the Windsor Manor Rehabilitation Center. I haven't been allowed to get in the building, so I don't know anything about the inside of the building. One nice thing that I know that they do is that they arrange for FaceTime phone calls and you can get an appointment to talk to your loved one that way. He doesn't talk a lot, so I don't hear much about anything else. The only thing you'd see on FaceTime is he's sitting up in his bed. The bed is elevated at the head of the bed. All I really see is just his top half. There is a bed that elevates and is adjustable. I've only had one other call about that, and I'm hoping they get a lot more information this afternoon. I would like to have a little more, like twice a week instead of just once a week. They called me to tell me that he had fallen out of bed or rolled out of bed three times in two weeks. His bed is fairly low to the ground. They've made it as low as possible, and they have put other mattresses on either side of the bed so that he's not gonna hit the floor when he falls and rolls. He gets out of bed because he wants to, and I'm sure he's been told not to call for help, but he doesn't.

My mother-in-law was in Stonebrook Healthcare Center for assisted care/rehab when she fell. They released her early, and they did a horrible job. They were short-staffed. My mother-in-law would ring the bell, and it would be 30 to 40 minutes before she had assistance. They knew she had onset dementia, but they expected her to do her physical therapy by herself when she couldn't even remember to take her pain medications. They weren't helping her get out of bed to walk more, and they did not train her very well on how to use the walker. It took my husband two weeks to rehab her enough for her to go to a senior living facility. They were just horrid, and I was devastated when they let her go away too early. I had positive interactions with the employees, but they were struggling. The employee ratio was too low. There weren't enough employees, and it would often smell of urine. The residents were not happy to be there.

I visited this facility

I wasn't impressed with Montecito. It was too big and way too expensive. The room was empty and you had to bring your own furniture. There was a section for Alzheimer's people, and you also had to bring your own furniture and pay extra besides the basic price, if you needed medicine or if you needed to be walked to dinner. They had a swimming pool and a section for people who don't want to live by themselves. They had little apartments and one big apartment and two little ones combined. The person who paid more to be in the bigger apartment got their own single bath and the other two rooms shared a bath.

I visited this facility

I visited Montecito, and it was a nice community. It also has nice facilities, but I don't like the location. It's too far away from the freeway. The staff members were also nice and knowledgeable. The rooms and the dining area that they have is average. The community is on the larger side, it isn't small, and it is nicely laid out.

I visited this facility

Montecito was an excellent place. I would recommend it to anybody. The facility was beautiful. The staff was very friendly. I had a meal there and met some of the residents who were all very friendly folks. The cost was a little high for some people, but they had some of the best menu items that I saw and many activities. They were one of the best that I've ever seen.

Care Cost Comparison

Prices for senior care in the Concord area vary drastically depending on the level of care and where services are provided. Nursing home care is the costliest option, but it offers skilled nursing, medication management and other specialized services and 24-hour care. Assisted living doesn’t include medical care, so it costs about half as much per month. In-home care options cost about $200 more per month than assisted living, but they don’t include day-to-day living expenses, whereas assisted living includes room and board.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Concord

Medicaid in California

Medicaid was introduced by the federal government in 1965 to meet the health care needs of low-income Americans with limited resources. This jointly funded program is regulated at the federal level and administered by individual state governments.

California’s Medicaid program, called Medi-Cal, provides essential health care services to one in four Californians, including seniors over age 65 and those with disabilities. U.S. citizens and legal California residents are eligible for full-scope Medi-Cal coverage if they meet the program’s income and asset guidelines:

  • Individuals are limited to $1,366 in monthly income and $2,000 in total assets.
  • Married couples are allowed $1,842 income per month and up to $3,000 in assets.


Income from all sources counts, including earnings, investment dividends, pensions, Social Security and SS disability benefits and IRA and 401K distributions. Assets that count include cash, bank and retirement account balances, investments and real estate. Some assets are excluded including a main home, one vehicle, personal belongings and household furnishings.

California residents assessed as needing nursing home care can qualify for institutional Medi-Cal coverage at any income level if they meet the program’s asset limits. Seniors receiving federal Supplemental Security Income benefits are enrolled in Medi-Cal automatically and qualify for full-scope coverage.

There are options available to help other Concord seniors qualify for Medi-Cal coverage if they’re over the income and asset limits.

  • Those with high medical bills may qualify through a share of cost. Based on a predetermined share amount, excess income can be spent down on medical bills to the required monthly qualification limit.
  • Married seniors may receive coverage if only one spouse applies through allowed transfers of up to $3,160.50 in monthly income and $126,420 in joint assets to a non-applicant spouse.


Seniors can apply for Medi-Cal coverage online, by calling (800) 300-1506 or by visiting the Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services office at 300 Ellinwood Way in Pleasant Hills.

Medi-Cal HCBS Assisted Living Waiver

The Assisted Living waiver is a Medi-Cal home and community-based services program available to seniors and disabled adults who require an intermediate level of care normally provided in a nursing home or are at risk of admission if assistance isn’t received. The ALW is specifically designed to help seniors move to or stay in an assisted living setting to promote independence and quality of life. 

To qualify for the program, Concord residents must be aged 21 or older and:

  • Enrolled in Medi-Cal with full-scope coverage and zero share of cost
  • Be able to live in an assisted living setting safely with supports available through the waiver program


Approved program participants are responsible for paying room-and-board costs, but the waiver covers the cost of various services in an assisted living facility, including:

  • Nursing home transition assistance
  • Care coordination
  • Medication administration
  • Daily meals and snacks
  • Personal care
  • Assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing and eating
  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • Recreational and social programs
  • Transportation


As a Medi-Cal pilot program, the ALW is only available at participating, state-licensed assisted living facilities in Contra Costa and 14 other California counties. There are a limited number of waiver slots available statewide, and qualified seniors may face a wait to receive services.

To learn more about the program or to schedule an assessment to determine medical eligibility, Concord seniors can contact the nearest Care Coordination Agency, Rehab Services of Northern California in Pleasant Hills, at (925) 682-6330.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance

VA pension recipients who suffer from a disability, chronic illness or mental impairment may be eligible for an additional monthly benefit through either the Aid and Attendance benefit or Housebound allowance program.

  • To qualify for Aid and Attendance benefits, a senior veteran or their survivor must reside in a nursing home, be legally blind or bedridden or need daily help with dressing, eating, bathing or other daily living activities.
  • To receive the Housebound allowance, an applicant must be primarily confined to their place of residence due to disability and have a 100% disability rating from the VA.


Those already receiving a VA disability pension aren’t eligible for these programs, but a disability doesn’t have to be related to military service to qualify.

For more information or help applying for these VA benefit programs, Concord veterans can contact the Contra Costa County Veterans Services office in Brentwood at (925) 313-1481.

State Supplemental Payment

Residents of Concord eligible for or receiving federal Supplemental Security Income benefits also qualify for a monthly State Supplemental Payment. This SSI add-on benefit can provide up to $160.62 for a single person or $407.14 for a couple to put toward assisted living room and board.

The financial eligibility criteria is the same for both programs:

  • A maximum of $771 in monthly income and $2,000 in assets per individual
  • Up to $1,157 per month in income and $3,000 in assets for a married couple


To apply for combined SSI and SSP benefits, seniors can call the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213.
