The lowest average cost for assisted living in California is in Bakersfield ($3,150), and the highest is in San Luis Obispo ($5,450).

Assisted Living Costs in Sonora

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

The price difference between assisted living and nursing home care is relatively large in Sonora compared to the rest of California, with the latter costing almost three times as much. The distinction between these two types of senior care&nbsp;is that nursing home care includes round-the-clock skilled nursing, whereas assisted living has less intensive care.&nbsp; In-home and adult day health&nbsp;services are also relatively expensive in Sonora. Homemaker and health aide services cost about $1,300 more per month compared to assisted living, and this is before taking into account the utilities, groceries and other bills that are covered in the cost of most facilities.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Sonora

Optional State Supplement (OSS) The federal government provides financial assistance to at-risk groups, such as seniors and the disabled, who&nbsp;have a low income. This assistance comes in the form of Supplemental Security Income (<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-11125.pdf" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-11125.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer">SSI</a>).

The specific amount of additional payment is determined by age, disability, marital status and current living arrangements; however, seniors may receive a maximum combined SSI&nbsp;and OSS benefit payment of $1,194.37 ($2,388.74 per couple) per month. Call ahead to make an appointment to apply for OSS at a nearby <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/agency/contact/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.ssa.gov/agency/contact/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Social Security office</a>, or call the local Sonora office at (800) 772-1213.

If accepted into the program, payments from A&amp;A are in addition to the pension the applicant is currently receiving. To be eligible, veterans must have served a&nbsp;minimum of 90 days of active duty with at least one of those days determined to be during wartime. They must also have received an honorable discharge. The maximum income for an individual applicant is $22,577 ($26,766 with dependant) per year as of 2019. Successful applicants must also meet at least one of these requirements: 
<li>Require assistance with some activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing, eating, bathing and putting on prosthetic devices</li>
<li>Be bedridden due to disability</li>

California’s state-run Medicaid program is <a href="https://www.coveredca.com/medi-cal/benefits/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.coveredca.com/medi-cal/benefits/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Medi-Cal</a>. The purpose of this Medicaid program is to provide medical services and related&nbsp;programs to&nbsp;low-income individuals. Medi-Cal has its own requirements for eligibility, including varying levels of service depending on income, assets, disability, age and other factors. Assisted living is not supported by Medi-Cal by default because the federal government places restrictions on what state-run Medicaid programs can distribute funds towards. However, through the use of a waiver, it’s possible to have this restriction lifted. This requires Californians to apply for the Assisted Living waiver (ALW) program, which is explained in this guide. Medi-Cal is split into full- or partial-scope coverage, and some applicants may be required to pay a share of cost (SOC). For low-income seniors in California, one of the easiest methods of securing full-scope coverage with no SOC is through Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Everyone who currently receives SSI&nbsp;qualifies for what is often known as <a href="https://cahealthadvocates.org/low-income-help/medi-cal-for-people-with-medicare/#SSI" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://cahealthadvocates.org/low-income-help/medi-cal-for-people-with-medicare/#SSI" rel="noopener noreferrer">SSI-Linked Medi-Cal</a>. Seniors (65+) as well as the disabled or blind who aren’t eligible for SSI should&nbsp;consider&nbsp;the <a href="https://cahealthadvocates.org/low-income-help/medi-cal-for-people-with-medicare/#ADFPL" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://cahealthadvocates.org/low-income-help/medi-cal-for-people-with-medicare/#ADFPL" rel="noopener noreferrer">Aged &amp; Disabled Federal Poverty Level program</a>. This category of coverage is full-scope and has no share of cost. Applicants for the A&amp;D FPL program must own <a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/formsandpubs/forms/Forms/MC Information Notices/MC007ENG(0414).pdf" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/formsandpubs/forms/Forms/MC Information Notices/MC007ENG(0414).pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer">countable assets</a>&nbsp;under $2,000 and have an income under $1,242 a month as of 2019 (for couples, it’s $3,000 and $1,682). Californians who exceed the monthly income limit but have countable assets below $2,000 can qualify for institutional or nursing home Medicaid. However, this partial-scope category of coverage can only be used by those who have been assessed as requiring a nursing home level of care, and it’s not possible to benefit from the Assisted Living waiver program at this level. Apply for Medi-Cal at <a href="https://www.coveredca.com/apply/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.coveredca.com/apply/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Covered California</a> via the online forms, or call (800) 300-1506. Free assistance is available via&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coveredca.com/find-help/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.coveredca.com/find-help/" rel="noopener noreferrer">local enrollment helpers</a> and educational events for the public. Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver Program (ALW) Californians seeking help with assisted living payments can take advantage of the <a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/pages/assistedlivingwaiver.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/pages/assistedlivingwaiver.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">Assisted Living waiver program</a>. To qualify for the waiver, residents must be approved for a full-scope&nbsp;Medi-Cal category of coverage that has no share of cost. Applicants must also be assessed as needing a nursing home level of care. It’s important to note that Tuolumne County doesn’t currently participate in this waiver program, but residents of Sonora and the county as a whole can still benefit from it. If successful in their application, residents&nbsp;are required to move to an assisted living community within one of the participating counties. <a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/pages/assistedlivingwaiver.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/pages/assistedlivingwaiver.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">Currently active counties</a> in the ALW can be found on the DHCS website. Applications for the Assisted Living Waiver are handled differently than most federal or state assistance programs. Interested individuals&nbsp;must contact&nbsp;a <a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Documents/Care-Coordination-Agencies-2018.pdf" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Documents/Care-Coordination-Agencies-2018.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer">Care Coordination Agency</a>&nbsp;in your area for an assessment.
