This is particularly true in Fresno, where the cost of nursing home care is more than $5,000 higher than the cost of assisted living and nearly double the cost of home care. Home care is substantially more expensive than assisted living, as well; both homemaker services and home health care are about $1,000 more.

Multipurpose Senior Services Program 
 
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/MSSPMedi-CalWaiver.aspx#services" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MSSP</a>&nbsp;is a waiver program that operates under California&rsquo;s Medi-Cal program. It provides a similar range of services and is available to eligible seniors who would prefer to remain in their community as an alternative to moving into a nursing home. In some cases, this waiver covers services provided in an assisted living facility. 
 
This waiver is capped at 12,000 enrollments, so applicants may encounter a waiting list. Eligibility requirements are the same as those for the Assisted Living Waiver. Seniors can obtain more information about this program and apply for coverage by contacting the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/Pages/contact_us.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">California Department of Health Care Services</a>. 
 
State Supplemental Payment 
 
Seniors who receive&nbsp;<a href="https://ca.db101.org/ca/programs/income_support/ssi/program.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Supplemental Security Income</a>&nbsp;can apply for California&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://ca.db101.org/ca/programs/income_support/ssi/faqs.htm#_q339" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">State Supplemental Payment</a>&nbsp;to assist them with paying for the cost of room and board in an assisted living facility. The payment is calculated based on the senior&rsquo;s income and is paid out to a maximum of $160.72 per month for those living in assisted living facilities. 
 
Eligibility is dependent on income and assets. Income requirements change frequently, and assets may not exceed $2,000 for individuals or $3,000 for couples. To apply for the supplement, seniors can visit their local Social Security office or call 1-800-772-1213. 
 
Elderlife Bridge Loan 
 
Fresno seniors who aren&rsquo;t eligible to receive SSI or Medicaid can look to&nbsp;<a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/loc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elderlife Financial Services</a>&nbsp;for help with paying for the cost of assisted living. The company provides eligible seniors with low-cost bridge loans. These loans are paid directly to the assisted living facility on behalf of the senior and are paid back through monthly installments. 
 
While eligibility is dependent on credit and income, seniors can have up to six friends or family members cosign their application and help with payments to increase their chances of approval. To be approved for an Elderlife bridge loan, seniors must also be residing in an approved assisted living facility. 
 
Long-Term Care Insurance 
 
Seniors who plan ahead by purchasing long-term care insurance from companies such as<a href="https://www.genworth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Genworth Financial&nbsp;</a>and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.yourlifesecure.com/individuals/Product-Long-Term-Care#a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LifeSecure</a>&nbsp;can use their policies to pay for the cost of assisted living. The eligibility requirements and specific terms vary depending on the insurance provider and the policy purchased, but generally, seniors must obtain an insurance policy before the need for long-term care arises.
