To begin the enrollment process, speak with a CalPACE specialist by calling the local Center for Elders&rsquo; Independence at (844) 319-1150.&nbsp;

Fremont residents&nbsp;who wish to learn more about the&nbsp;OSS&nbsp;benefit&nbsp;or apply should visit their local&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Social Security office</a> or call (800) 772-1213.

Low-income seniors in Fremont who meet income and asset requirements may be eligible to receive financial assistance for their care through <a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/Pages/default.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medi-Cal</a>, California&rsquo;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.&nbsp; 
 
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&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Pages/AssistedLivingWaiver.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Assisted Living Waiver</a> 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&nbsp;ALW&nbsp;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&nbsp;program, Fremont residents may visit the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/Pages/default.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">California&nbsp;Department of Health Care Services</a> website or call their local county office at&nbsp;(888) 999-4772.
