I visited this facilityReview of Belmont Village Hollywood Heights

Belmont Village Hollywood Heights did not have skilled nursing, so we did not really consider it very seriously. It's on a main street. The interior was decent and modern, and it's a new building. The dining area was OK. They have a decent exercise room. It was a clean facility.

I visited this facilityReview of Sakura Gardens of Los Angeles

Sakura Gardens' rooms were kind of small and noisy. The staff was OK. It's an old building, so the dining area was old and rundown. They had a vegetable garden.

I visited this facilityReview of Park Ventura

Park Ventura was probably the best one that we saw. It was very nice, and the office staff was trained very well. Everything that we wanted would be provided. I wouldn't hesitate to put my uncle there, but he doesn't want a shared room.

I visited this facilityReview of CityView

CityView was very clean and pleasant. The colors were coordinated, and you can tell that an interior decorator had done the work. The person who assisted me was very helpful, very knowledgeable, and very attentive. The food looked good. They had a violinist come in while I was there to play Frank Sinatra songs.

I visited this facilityReview of CityView

CityView seems to be a very friendly place. The employees and the residents were nice. They're very much with it, very active, have sharp minds, and it's very exciting to see that younger old people are living there. The one I can afford and have taken is the middle level studio. The place is very easy to get to and has indoor patios. It has an absolutely magnificent rooftop garden where you can see from the ocean to the mountains and beyond, and when you're up that high, you can't hear the noises from below. The staff members are very friendly; they're one of the things that drew me there. I am a week away from moving in.

I visited this facilityReview of Belmont Village Hollywood Heights

I just felt comfortable with what I saw at Belmont Village Hollywood Heights. I thought it was a lovely place, the staff was excellent. It was a large place and it offered independent living all the way up if you need a great amount of assistance.

Care Cost Comparison

Senior care costs vary widely based on the type of care and location. Los Angeles assisted living is more than $3,000 less per month than nursing home care, while in-home services such as a home health aide or homemaker cost slightly more than assisted living. Seniors who want to compare the cost of different care options need to consider additional expenses associated with in-home care like rent, upkeep and utilities that are usually covered under costs for residential care.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Los Angeles

Medicaid in California

Medicaid is a national health insurance program that provides low-income, low-asset Americans with access to basic health care services. The federal and state governments fund Medicaid, and in California, the program is called Medi-Cal. The California Department of Health Care Services administers Medi-Cal.

Seniors who meet the income and asset limits of Medi-Cal may qualify for free coverage under the Aged and Disabled Federal Poverty Level Program. To qualify, seniors must be 65 and older, blind or disabled according to Supplemental Security Income standards.

Individual applicants must also own less than $2,000 in nonexempt assets, while couples applying together must have less than $3,000 in nonexempt assets. Countable monthly income limits are $1,242 for an individual and $1,682 for a couple and include income from pensions, wages and alimony. In California, Medi-Cal applicants do not have to add their principal residence in the asset calculation as long as one of the owners intends to continue living there.

Like all other states, California has a Medicaid look-back period; however, it is the only state that looks back 30 months rather than 60 months. Any assets that a Medi-Cal applicant gave away or sold during the look-back period may be appraised, and the value of these assets can be used to levy a period of Medicaid ineligibility.

Seniors who have incomes that exceed Medi-Cal limits may obtain Medicaid coverage on a Share of Cost basis; however, in many cases, the cost of purchasing Medi-Cal out of pocket is greater than comparable private insurance costs. Alternatively, seniors who earn more than Medicaid permits may reduce their income by buying enough private health insurance to decrease their Medi-Cal countable income to a level that meets the Medi-Cal limits for free coverage.

Assisted Living Waiver

Medi-Cal-eligible seniors who require the level of care provided in a nursing home may receive funding for assisted living costs and supplemental support services through an Assisted Living Waiver.

Services offered under an ALW help prevent or delay nursing home placement. Each senior’s needs as identified by a registered nurse through a Care Coordination Agency (CCA) determines the level of service. ALW services may include:

Personal care and assistance with activities of daily living
Homemaker services
Medication management and administration
Transportation to medical appointments
Provision of a personal emergency response device

Seniors do not need to apply for an ALW; the CCA screening determines eligibility. Note that Medi-Cal members who have Cost of Share coverage are ineligible for the ALW.

For more information on Medi-Cal and Assisted Living Waivers, contact the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Service, Customer Service Center at (866) 613-3777 to locate your nearest district office.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Veterans Aid and Attendance and Housebound Pension Benefits

Veterans and their survivors who are eligible for the VA pension and are housebound or need daily assistance due to a disability may be eligible for a pension top-up through the Aid and Attendance and Housebound program. This benefit may also be available to veterans who meet the criteria but do not currently qualify for a VA pension due to a high income.

To qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefit, seniors must meet at least one of the following criteria:

Require daily assistance with daily living activities such as dressing, bathing, eating, toileting or managing a prosthesis
Reside in a nursing home to receive care for a physical or mental impairment
Be bedridden
Have vision tested at 5/200 or worse when wearing corrective lenses or have a visual field of 5 or fewer degrees

To qualify for the Housebound allowance, applicants must have a permanent disability that confines them to their place of residence. Note that disabilities do not need to be service-related, and applicants may only receive one of these benefits.

For more information on the Aid and Attendance and Housebound program, contact the Los Angeles Vet Center at (310) 767-1221 or the Los Angeles County Veterans Service Center at Patriotic Hall by calling (877) 452-8387.
