Paying for Assisted Living in Carpinteria

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Carpinteria

California’s 1915(c) Medicaid Assisted Living Waiver covers the cost of assisted living services in RCFs for eligible seniors in the Carpinteria area. 

Those who require additional assistance with the cost of room and board may apply for an optional state supplement to their Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The cost of room and board is capped by the state for residents who are Medicaid eligible.

California doesn’t allow family supplementation.

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
  • Long-Term Care Insurance
  • Reverse Mortgage
