Affording Assisted Living in California
Assisted living is typically the next level of care that a family will pursue when it is no longer safe or possible for their loved one to be at home. Residents of assisted living facilities are generally mobile and active, but may need support with bathing, dressing, and medication management.
What is Assisted Living?
Assisted living facilities provide seniors with assistance with daily living activities. These facilities are ideal for seniors who aren’t safe living at home and need support with bathing, dressing, and managing their medication.
Unlike nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities do not provide full-time monitoring or daily medical assistance.

- Veterans Aid & Attendance benefits
- Pursuing waiver programs from DHS
- Selling real estate to pay for care
- Adjusting your financial portfolio to generate additional income to pay for care
