Cost of Assisted Living Comparison Chart

&nbsp;

Senior care costs are largely based on the location, the level of care provided and any additional services or amenities that may be included. In Pasadena, nursing home care is significantly more expensive than assisted living, and homemaker services and a home health aide are moderately more. In addition to the cost of service, seniors who are comparing in-home care with assisted living should also factor in the expenses of maintaining a home such as property tax, upkeep, utilities and food.&nbsp;

Assisted Living in Pasadena, CA

Medicaid is a nationwide health insurance program that provides limited access to essential health services for low-income, low-asset Americans of all ages.&nbsp;The federal and state governments jointly fund it.&nbsp;

In California, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/pages/aboutus.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">California Department of Health Care Services</a>&nbsp;administers Medicaid as Medi-Cal. Seniors aged 65 and older who meet the financial criteria are eligible for no-cost Medi-Cal coverage through the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.canhr.org/factsheets/medi-cal_fs/PDFs/FS_Community-Based-Medi-Cal-Programs.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aged and Disabled Federal Poverty Level Program</a>.&nbsp;

To qualify for Medi-Cal, seniors may earn a maximum of $1,242 monthly for an individual and $1,682 for a couple. They must also own no more than $2,000 worth of countable assets when applying as a single or $3,000 when applying with a spouse.

Cash, bank account balances and investments count as assets, while wages, pensions and stock dividends are included as income. Medi-Cal applicants may own one vehicle and a principal residence. Unlike other states, there is no limit on the principal residence value for Medi-Cal purposes as long as the applicant or their&nbsp;spouse continues to live in the home.

A 30-month look-back period for Medi-Cal applications assesses any assets that were sold or gifted prior to applying. If the assets&nbsp;were disposed of during this look-back period, they may be used to calculate a period of exclusion from Medi-Cal eligibility.

Medicaid in California

Seniors who qualify for Medi-Cal coverage and require care normally provided in a nursing home may be eligible for the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Pages/Assisted-Living-Waiver%20Program---Medi-Cal%20Member%20Enrollment.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Assisted Living Waiver</a>&nbsp;program.&nbsp;

The ALW is designed to reduce the rates of nursing home admission among California seniors by providing supports in an assisted living environment. Seniors are automatically screened for the ALW&nbsp;when they enroll in Medi-Cal. Registered nurses with the Care Coordination Agencies assess the care needs of each senior, and if eligible, the senior&nbsp;receives an individualized service plan and supports within an assisted living setting.&nbsp;

Note that Medi-Cal members on a&nbsp;<a href="https://files.medi-cal.ca.gov/pubsdoco/publications/masters-mtp/part1/share_z01.doc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Share of Cost</a>&nbsp;basis are ineligible for the ALW.&nbsp;&nbsp;

To learn more about Medi-Cal coverage and the Assisted Living Waiver, contact the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/CountyOffices3.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Los&nbsp;Angeles&nbsp;County Department of Public Social Services, Customer Service Center</a>&nbsp;at <a href="tel:+18666133777">(866) 613-3777</a>.
