The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

The wide variance in the cost of senior care in a given location is due to differences in the level of care, where care is provided and the number of hours of service provided. Nursing home care costs the most because it offers round-the-clock care and skilled services. Adult day health services limited to weekday care in a group setting is the least expensive option in Redwood City. Assisted living that typically provides room and board costs $200-$500 less than in-home care. It’s important to remember that average in-home rates only cover provided services and don’t factor in regular household operating expenses.

The program is funded federally and by individual states and administered at the state level with federal oversight. The California Medicaid program known as <a href="https://www.coveredca.com/medi-cal/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.coveredca.com/medi-cal/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Medi-Cal</a> provides free or low-cost medical services and long-term care to eligible seniors who are U.S. citizens or legal California residents. Medi-Cal has different qualification guidelines depending on the services needed. To receive basic medical coverage, single seniors must have a monthly income below $1,242 and less than $2,000 in countable assets. Married couples applying together are limited to $1,682 in monthly income and $3,000 in total assets. To qualify for long-term care in a nursing home, seniors must meet the above-mentioned asset limits, but there are no restrictions on income.

<li>Social Security and VA benefits</li>
<li>Stock dividends</li>
<li>IRA withdrawals</li>
</ul> Some assets are excluded, such as a principal residence, one automobile, household furnishings and personal effects.

Married seniors may be able to reduce their income or assets to the required limits if only one spouse is applying for&nbsp;coverage: <ul>
<li>An applicant can transfer up to $3,160.50 of monthly income to their spouse as a living allowance</li>
