Assisted Living Costs in Ventura

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Both categories of in-home care have a higher average monthly cost than assisted living facilities in Ventura. The difference between these levels of care is around $500 a month, although it’s important to consider other costs associated with remaining at home, such as food and utilities, which are generally included in the monthly cost of an assisted living facility. A semiprivate room in a nursing home costs almost twice that of assisted living in Ventura. This is a large step up, both in terms of the cost and level of care provided, which makes the decision between a nursing home and assisted living very important.

Low-income and disabled people across the country benefit from Medicaid programs that provide essential health care services. Seniors in California who qualify through <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>&nbsp;can receive Medicaid services funded by the state and federal governments. Medi-Cal pays for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coveredca.com/medi-cal/benefits/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.coveredca.com/medi-cal/benefits/" rel="noopener noreferrer">various medical services</a>,&nbsp;such as doctors appointments, prescriptions, hospitalization, surgery,&nbsp;emergency and dental services, medical supplies and transportation. Some ongoing care is also covered, including in-home support services, temporary nursing facility stays and adult day health care. Assisted living is not covered by regular&nbsp;Medi-Cal, but a Medicaid waiver shown below offers a possible solution. Medi-Cal has close to 100 care categories with varying eligibility requirements based on the status and needs of the applicant. To qualify, applicants must be at least 65 years of age, disabled or blind. Applicants must also be a legal resident of California and meet income and asset guidelines. As of 2019, the income limit is $1,436 a month. The asset limit is $2,000, excluding a personal home and vehicle along with&nbsp;<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">other non-countable assets</a>. Depending on the care category, an individual may qualify for partial or full coverage and receive some or all of the services Medicaid offers. Seniors who qualify for&nbsp;Supplemental Security Income automatically receive full coverage with no share of cost. To apply for&nbsp;Medi-Cal, visit <a href="https://www.coveredca.com/apply/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.coveredca.com/apply/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Covered California</a>&nbsp;and submit the required&nbsp;information or call (800) 300-1506. Alternatively, applicants can&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coveredca.com/find-help/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.coveredca.com/find-help/" rel="noopener noreferrer">request free assistance</a>&nbsp;from certified&nbsp;enrollers&nbsp;in their local area. Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver Program Federal regulations restrict Medicaid programs such as&nbsp;Medi-Cal from paying for assisted living room-and-board costs. However, California’s&nbsp;<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</a>&nbsp;program does pay for a number of related expenses, including: <ul>
<li>Help with activities of daily living</li>
<li>Medication management and administration</li>
<li>Social/recreational activities</li>
<li>Laundry, housekeeping and meals</li>
<li>Skilled nursing services</li>
</ul> This waiver is available in most areas of the state, although&nbsp;Ventura&nbsp;County is not currently a participant. Individuals who would otherwise qualify may find relocating to a participating county worthwhile. To be eligible for the waiver, applicants must be approved for&nbsp;full Medi-Cal coverage with no share of cost and be assessed by a registered nurse from a local Care Coordination Agency to determine if they qualify medically. To apply for the Assisted Living Waiver program, contact a nearby&nbsp;<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;to request an assessment.
