Caring Angels Care Home opened its doors to the seniors of the greater East Bay in the Fall of 2003. This day was long awaited for owner Lenise Gibson. Her dream of providing the highest level of professional care for seniors in a home filled with warmth and love, developed while taking care of her grandmother in the ascension of her age. While dealing with unaffordable care that was not thoughtful, Lenise became flustered with the helpless postion she was in regards to providing her grandmother the care and love she deserved. Lenise set out to help the many others that find themselves in similar circumstances and for over a decade now Caring Angels Care Home has done just that for its many residents and their families. Since the passing of my mother in June of last year, I have taken over management of the facility and the responsibility of carrying on her legacy of providing our residents exceptional care that they can afford.To learn more about this provider’s license and review other available state reports, please visit: California Department of Social Services Licensed Facility Search

Review of Coterie Cathedral Hill
I have had family living at Coterie since June 2024, and can confidently say it is one of most exceptional assisted living facilities in the SF Bay Area. This was confirmed by research and in...
Although San Francisco is expensive for assisted living, Salinas, which is just outside of the Bay Area, costs exactly $1,000 more, at $7,100. Inland but only 110 miles away from San Francisco, Merced costs $3,750. This might be better for seniors looking for the sunshine and scenery of California without the high price tag. Another great choice for retirees on a budget is San Diego, where the price is slightly above the national average, at $4,525. Redding, in the most northern part of the state, costs less than the state average, at $4,500, as does Fresno, in the west, at $4,750 per month. El Centro, at the south of the state, is a little more affordable than the Bay Area, with a monthly average price of $5,825.

When comparing the cost of assisted living in San Francisco with the national and state averages using Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey, it’s clear that it’s not a cheap place to live. In fact, it’s nearly $2,000 more expensive than the U.S. average of $4,300, and more than $1,000 above California’s average of $5,000.
The Bay Area, and California as a whole, is focused on keeping seniors in their own homes for as long as possible. Financial help in paying for assisted living facilities is extremely limited when compared to in-home or nursing home care as a result of this statewide policy. The Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) program is available in San Francisco for people with full-scope Medi-Cal eligibility, although this does not cover all aspects of assisted living.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in California page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
