Beautiful facility and the staff are excellent at providing a loving home for all residents. They provide activities not only for the resident, however, for the families too!
Read more Sunrise at Canyon Crest reviewsSunrise had a homey atmosphere and it was on the smaller side. I was impressed that they had a long-term staff. Most have been there over 10 years, and they worked to have them at the same shift each time, so the same person is giving your medication, or helping you to the shower. Everyone seemed very efficient and pro...

It was overlooking the city of Riverside, and the price was comparable to the other place. However, it was a multiple story building with a lot of elevators, and my sister had reservations about going up and down on elevators all t...
Read more The Grove Care and Wellness reviewsThe Grove Care and Wellness was a nice place, but I think the staff needed to be more educated on the property because they could not answer a lot of questions. The rooms were very nice and had good views. Their dining area was really good and had a really nice atmosphere. During our visit, residents played bingo.

Read more The Grove Care and Wellness reviewsAccording to Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care study, Riverside’s average monthly cost of $3,500 for assisted living is moderately less than the national average of $4,000 and substantially below the state average of $4,500. It’s comparable to assisted living costs in Fresno ($3,500) and Visalia ($3,675) and notably less expensive than the major metro centers of Los Angeles ($4,500) and San Francisco ($5,500).
Cost of Assisted Living Comparison Chart
Senior care costs vary depending on location and type of care. In Riverside, nursing home care in a semiprivate room ($7,559) is more than double the cost of assisted living care ($3,500). Home health care, including homemaker services and home health aides, cost roughly $1,000 more than assisted living per month. These in-home services do not include living expenses, such as rent, food or utilities, which are usually included in the costs of nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

California’s Medicaid program is called Medi-Cal, and it pays for a variety of medical services for low-income California residents of all ages. Medi-Cal is an umbrella program made up of numerous smaller programs which are focused on specific demographic groups, such as children, the disabled and the elderly. It provides services including preventative medical care, mental health care, personal care, prescription assistance and nursing home care to eligible residents. To qualify, an applicant must:
For more information about Medi-Cal, visit the Apply for Medi-Cal page or call the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services at (877) 410-8827.
Assisted Living Waiver
Several of the programs under the Medi-Cal umbrella offer assistance with long-term care for seniors. The Assisted Living Waiver program helps individuals who are eligible for nursing home care but prefer to live in an assisted living facility. It offers participants a broad range of services, including help with personal care, meals, recreational activities and housekeeping services. The waiver does not cover room-and-board costs.
To be eligible for the waiver, applicants must:
Not all assisted living facilities participate in the program, and there may be a waiting list. Contact the Riverside County Office on Aging at (800) 510-2020 or visit the California Department of Health Care Services website for more information on participating facilities and how to apply.
Supplemental Security Income
California provides Supplemental Security Income to anyone with limited income and few resources. The program is administered by the Federal Social Security Administration, and the payment is automatically added to the applicant’s federal SSI payment. The amount of the supplement varies depending on an applicant’s income. In California, SSI recipients cannot get SNAP benefits because the state adds money to the federal SSI payment instead. To qualify for SSI, applicants must:
For more information or to apply, visit the Social Security Administration website or call (800) 772-1213.
PACE
PACE, or the Program For All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, provides health care and social services to seniors, regardless of their living situation. Each participant works with a team of medical experts to develop a customized care plan to meet their individual needs. For more information on Southern California’s PACE Program, visit the InnovAge website or call (909) 366-4230.
Elderlife Financial Services Loans
Seniors who need immediate funds to make assisted living arrangements can apply for a loan through Elderlife Financial Services. They provide up to 12 months of payments and can be useful for seniors who are waiting for the sale of a home or going through the process of benefit approval. Approval time is fast, sometimes within 24 hours.
Multiple borrowers can apply for one loan so credit scores are not as important in the approval process. Since family members of a senior in need of care often apply, the age and health of the senior aren’t a factor in the approval process. Elderlife typically requires information about anticipated sources of permanent funding. Contact Elderlife Financial at (888) 228-4500 for more information.
The Riverside Parks, Recreation and Community Service Department (PRCSD) operates three senior centers in Riverside which offer a variety of clubs, educational classes and social activities for seniors.
