Cost of Assisted Living Comparison Chart

Costs for senior care vary widely depending on the level of care, the location and the number of direct-service hours each week. In Long Beach, nursing home care costs are&nbsp;significantly higher than assisted living. Prices for both homemaker services and a home health aide are comparable to assisted living costs. Adult day health is the least expensive senior care service in the area.

Seniors who want to compare the costs of various types of care need to factor in expenses associated with maintaining a home, such as upkeep, utilities and rent payments. Generally speaking, residential senior care services such as assisted living include room and board.&nbsp;

Optional State Supplementation

Seniors in California aged 65 and older who either receive or are eligible for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/SSI.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Supplemental Security Income</a>&nbsp;benefits may qualify for additional Optional State Supplementation funding from the state for use toward the room-and-board portion of assisted living costs.&nbsp;

The OSS program provides seniors who reside in an assisted living facility with a maximum of $1,194.37 per month in combined SSI&nbsp;benefits for individuals and $2,388.74 for a couple.&nbsp;

For more information on SSI&nbsp;Optional State Supplementation&nbsp;in California, contact the&nbsp;<a href="https://secure.ssa.gov/ICON/ic001.action#officeResults" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Long Beach Social Security Office&nbsp;</a>at (800) 772-1213.&nbsp;

Veterans Aid and Attendance and Housebound Program

Veterans and their survivors who receive a VA pension and are housebound or limited in their ability to complete daily living activities independently may be eligible for VA pension top-up funds through the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/pension/aid_attendance_housebound.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aid and Attendance and Housebound</a>&nbsp;program.&nbsp;

For Aid and Attendance benefits, applicants must meet one of the following criteria:&nbsp;

	<li>Live in a nursing home due to physical or mental deterioration</li>
	<li>Require daily assistance with eating, bathing, dressing or managing a prosthetic device</li>
	<li>Be largely bedridden due to a disability</li>
</ul>

For the Housebound benefits, applicants must be assessed as 100 percent disabled under VA guidelines and largely limited to their primary residence as a result of the disability. Note that applicants cannot receive both the Aid and Attendance and Housebound allowance concurrently, and disabilities do not need to be related to military service.&nbsp;

For more information on the Aid and Attendance and Housebound program, contact the&nbsp;<a href="http://mva.lacounty.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Los Angeles County Veterans Service Center</a>&nbsp;at Patriotic Hall at (877) 452-8387.&nbsp;

Assisted Living in Long Beach, CA

Medicaid is a national health insurance program that is jointly funded by the federal and state governments. It provides limited access to essential health services for low-income, low-asset Americans.

In California, Medicaid is known as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/default.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medi-Cal</a>. Seniors who earn less than $1,242 and senior couples who make less than $1,682 may qualify if they hold less than $2,000 and $3,000 in assets respectively.&nbsp;

Like all other states, Medi-Cal has a retroactive look-back period that assesses all transferred assets and money toward&nbsp;Medi-Cal-eligibility. In California, the look-back period is 30 months.&nbsp;

Applicants&nbsp;must declare earnings from all sources when applying for Medi-Cal, including wages, pension income and&nbsp;interest earned on investments. Countable assets include all real estate except the applicant&rsquo;s&nbsp;principal residence as long as either the applicant or their spouse continues to live in the home.

Personal belongings such as clothing, household furniture, one vehicle and collectibles&nbsp;are exempt from Medi-Cal asset counts. In California, there is no upper limit&nbsp;on the value of the applicant&rsquo;s principal residence.&nbsp;

Seniors who have incomes that exceed Medi-Cal limits may qualify for coverage&nbsp;on a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chcf.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/PDF-ShareOfCostMediCal2010.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Share of Cost</a>&nbsp;basis that calculates Medi-Cal premiums based on the current income of the senior. In many cases, Share of Cost fees are higher than private health insurance premiums.&nbsp;

Medicaid in California

Seniors who qualify for free Medi-Cal coverage and require the level of care normally provided in a nursing home may also be eligible to receive additional services through&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Pages/AssistedLivingWaiver.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">California Assisted Living Waiver</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The ALW&nbsp;helps reduce the rate of nursing home placement by providing additional care and support to seniors in an assisted living facility.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Documents/ALW_SERVICES.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ALW services</a>&nbsp;are customized to the needs of each senior and may include personal health care aide services, speech or occupational therapy, specialized medical equipment and medication management.&nbsp;

To be eligible for services under the ALW&nbsp;program, seniors must be current, full-scope&nbsp;Medi-Cal members who meet the normal criteria for placement in a nursing home. Seniors also must be willing and able to live in an assisted living facility rather than a nursing home.&nbsp;

Medi-Cal members are not required to apply for ALW&nbsp;enrollment. Interested seniors can contact a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Documents/Care-Coordination-Agencies-2018.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Care Coordination Agency</a>&nbsp;to complete a needs assessment with a registered nurse. If approved, seniors may be placed on a waiting list as there are a limited number of waivers available statewide. Note that Medi-Cal members who are enrolled on a Share of Cost basis are not eligible for the ALW.&nbsp;

For more information on Medi-Cal coverage and the ALW&nbsp;and to reach the local CCA,&nbsp;contact&nbsp;<a href="http://www.longbeach.gov/health/services/directory/medi-cal/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Long Beach Health and Human Service, Medi-Cal Outreach and Health Access Program</a>&nbsp;at (562) 570-7979.
