Assisted Living Costs in Redwood City

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.

<a href="https://www.medicaid.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaid.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Medicaid</a>&nbsp;provides vital health care services to <a href="http://files.kff.org/attachment/fact-sheet-medicaid-state-US" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://files.kff.org/attachment/fact-sheet-medicaid-state-US" rel="noopener noreferrer">one in five</a> Americans, and primarily serves low-income pregnant women, families with children, blind and disabled adults and seniors aged 65 and older. 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. Seniors currently receiving or eligible for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Supplemental Security Income</a> benefits automatically qualify for full Medi-Cal coverage for medical services and long-term care. Medicaid counts income from every source, including: <ul>
<li>Wages</li>
<li>Pension payments</li>
<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. Medi-Cal offers additional qualification options for seniors with income and assets above the limits. Those with high medical expenses and over-the-limit income may qualify through a <a href="https://www.sfdph.org/dph/files/CBHSdocs/BHISdocs/UserDoc/MediCalSOCFactSheet.pdf" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.sfdph.org/dph/files/CBHSdocs/BHISdocs/UserDoc/MediCalSOCFactSheet.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer">share of cost</a> or spend-down program. An applicant’s share or spend down is calculated based on their excess income, and this amount must be put toward medical bills before coverage can begin. 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>
<li>A non-applicant spouse can retain up to $126,420 in joint assets as a <a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/pages/cpltcamedi_calinformation.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/pages/cpltcamedi_calinformation.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">resource allowance</a></li>
</ul> Seniors can&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coveredca.com/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.coveredca.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">apply for Medi-Cal coverage</a>&nbsp;online, by calling (800) 300-1506 or by visiting the <a href="https://hsa.smcgov.org/locations/resource-center-redwood-city" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://hsa.smcgov.org/locations/resource-center-redwood-city" rel="noopener noreferrer">San Mateo County Human Services Resource Center</a> located at 2500 Middlefield Rd.

This waiver was introduced to reduce care costs by limiting nursing home admissions and provide eligible seniors with greater independence. To participate in the program, seniors and disabled adults aged 21 and older must: <ul>
<li>Qualify for full-scope Medi-Cal coverage without a share of cost</li>
<li>Be assessed as needing a nursing home level of care</li>
<li>Be able to live in the community safely</li>
<li>Be willing to live in an approved, state-licensed assisted living facility</li>
</ul> Those who qualify for the ALW must pay their own room-and-board costs, but the program covers a number of essential services including: <ul>
<li>Transition assistance and care coordination</li>
<li>Housekeeping and laundry services</li>
<li>Personal care and assistance with activities of daily living</li>
<li>Supervision of medication administration</li>
<li>Social and recreational activities</li>
<li>Skilled nursing care</li>
<li>Prepared meals, beverages and snacks</li>
<li>Transportation</li>
