Low-income seniors in Fremont who meet income and asset requirements may be eligible to receive financial assistance for their care through Medi-Cal, California’s state Medicaid plan. Medi-Cal pays directly for a variety of home care and nursing home services.
To be eligible for Medi-Cal, applicants must be at least 65 years old and residents of California. Single applicants may have a monthly income of up to $1,242 and up to $2,000 in countable assets. Couples applying for Medicaid may have a monthly income of up to $1,682 and countable assets of up to $3,000. Medi-Cal is an entitlement, so all approved applicants receive assistance.
In addition to regular Medicaid, Fremont residents who reside in a nursing home may apply for Institutional/Nursing Home Medicaid. This plan has no income limit, but the asset limit for a single applicant is $2,000, and the asset limit for couples who are both applying is $3,000. Like standard Medi-Cal, this plan is an entitlement, so everyone who meets program eligibility guidelines may receive financial aid.
While Medi-cal does not cover other long-term senior care options, such as assisted living, the state provides a waiver program to help pay for this type of care. The Assisted Living Waiver is a Home and Community-Based Waiver that covers services received while living in an assisted living facility. This program is only available in select counties, including Alameda County, where Fremont is located. Unlike regular Medi-Cal, the ALW program has an enrollment cap, meaning that eligible applicants may be placed on a waiting list.
For more information on Medi-Cal and the ALW program, Fremont residents may visit the California Department of Health Care Services website or call their local county office at (888) 999-4772.
CalPACE
The Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, which is commonly referred to in California as CalPACE, is a Medicare and Medicaid program that provides financial assistance for those who need nursing-home-level care. This program is available to Fremont residents age 55 and over who need help with the activities of daily living.
CalPACE is available to all seniors who meet eligibility criteria. Applicants who qualify for Medi-Cal pay nothing for CalPACE services, but those with higher incomes may have to pay for a portion of their assisted living costs. To begin the enrollment process, speak with a CalPACE specialist by calling the local Center for Elders’ Independence at (844) 319-1150.
Optional State Supplement
Fremont seniors aged 65 and over who qualify for Supplemental Security Income may be eligible to receive additional money through an optional state supplement. The OSS benefit is available to low-income seniors who are unable to live independently due to disability or age, and they may use the funds toward the cost of room and board in an assisted living facility. In California, the total individual benefit is $895.72. Fremont residents who wish to learn more about the OSS benefit or apply should visit their local Social Security office or call (800) 772-1213.
Assisted Living Bridge Loans
Fremont seniors who are transitioning to an assisted living facility and need short-term financial assistance may be eligible for an Elderlife Bridge Loan. This 12-month loan can be used for upfront entrance and move-in fees or toward care services until benefits begin. There are no up-front out-of-pocket costs or application fees, and borrowers have the option of paying a low, interest-only monthly payment. To learn more about assisted living bridge loans, contact Elderlife Financial Services at (888) 228-4500.
The local senior center provides a lunch program and a variety of classes and trips for seniors for a small annual fee. Seniors may also receive health and counseling services or participate in an exercise program.
