Seniors seeking financial aid for assisted living may apply through the Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver Program. While this program does not pay for room and board, it can help offset the cost of other services related to assisted living. 

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in California page.

More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living

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:

  • Veterans Benefits
  • Life Insurance Policy

  • Reverse Mortgage

For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in California page.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Buena Park

 

  • Seniors in Buena Park can obtain transportation services through two programs, including the Senior Non-Emergency Transportation Program and the Senior Mobility Program. The Senior Non-Emergency Transportation Program has a suggested donation of $1, and it can help seniors complete shopping trips, pick up medications and attend medical appointments. The Senior Mobility program features the ST*R Bus, which transports those aged 60 and over to the local senior center, as well as grocery stores and monthly recreational trips. To reach either program, seniors can call (714) 236-3870.

 

  • Buena Park doesn’t have a hospital, but La Palma Intercommunity Hospital and West Anaheim Medical Center sit within 3 miles of the city center, providing access to a broad array of medical and community services. Additionally, many assisted living facilities have on-site medical suites where seniors can see third-party health care providers.

 

  • The overall cost of living in Buena Park is high, even for California. On a cost of living index based on a national norm of 100, this city scores 164.9, about 15 points above the California average. While this may present a barrier for some seniors considering local assisted living communities, some facilities may accept the state’s Assisted Living Waiver. 

 

  • State income taxes are high in California, but fortunately, the state has a senior income tax exemption that doubles the standard exemption. Additionally, seniors don’t pay income taxes on their Social Security income, which may support their financial stability.

 

  • Buena Park has daytime temperatures ranging from 68 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to 83 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, which is cool compared to most other places in California. Humidity levels run high in July and August but tend to be low throughout the rest of the year, and the city gets about 14 inches of annual rainfall. To make it easy for residents to enjoy the weather, assisted living communities often have outdoor amenities, such as swimming pools and putting greens.
