How to Pay for Assisted Living in Chino:

Paying for assisted living in Chino typically involves using a mix of private payments, veterans’ benefits and state and federal health insurance programs. By understanding the financial assistance options available, seniors can effectively budget for long-term care expenses.

  • Medicaid: Chino sits within the service area of the state Medicaid’s Assisted Living Waiver. Assisted living residents who qualify for this program use it to pay for services such as personal care, transportation and meals.
  • Medicare: The federal health insurance program helps seniors with Part B coverage pay for specialized support they receive in assisted living, including skilled nursing, rehabilitative therapies and durable medical equipment. However, standard assisted living services don’t fall within the scope of Medicare.
  • VA Benefits:  Qualified veterans receive assistance with assisted living services, such as personal care, transportation, housekeeping and meals, through several VA programs. These include Aid and Attendance benefits, Housebound allowance and the Geriatrics and Extended Care program.
  • Private Payments: Assisted living residents use private payments to cover their room and board expenses and custodial care costs. Seniors can use money from retirement savings accounts, Social Security benefits, pensions and long-term care insurance.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Chino

In California, the Medi-Cal program helps seniors pay for assisted living. The Assisted Living Waiver Program (ALWP) is currently available in 15 California counties, including San Bernardino County. Although seniors do not have to reside in the county to be eligible, they must be willing to move to an assisted living facility in a participating county. The ALWP program makes it possible for seniors who are eligible for nursing home care to instead choose an assisted living facility. While the program does not cover room and board, it does pay for personal care assistance, prepared meals and medication administration.

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

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Living in Chino, CA

It’s important to choose the right type of care, as it significantly impacts the costs seniors or families will incur. In-home care, which is costlier than assisted living at $5,911 per month in Chino, provides help with daily tasks from the individual’s own home. For a similar price, home health care combines basic care with essential medical services. Adult day care is the most economical choice, costing only $1,652 since it’s only available during daytime hours. Assisted living communities, at $5,250, strike a balance between independence and extensive assistance. Finally, nursing home facilities, charging $9,125 for a semiprivate room, come at a higher cost due to their more advanced medical services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Chino

  • Chino's cost of living runs about 27% above the national norm, impacting local assisted living expenses. Fortunately, seniors who need financial assistance have access to programs such as the state-funded Assisted Living Waiver.
  • With a reported 31 crimes per 1,000 people annually, Chino ranks in the bottom 10% of U.S. cities for safety. To promote a safe environment for residents, assisted living communities offer security features, such as gated entrances, alarm systems and surveillance cameras.
  • Seniors in Chino don't pay state taxes on their Social Security benefits, thanks to California's tax laws. They can also claim a senior income tax exemption in addition to the standard personal exemption. This may make assisted living costs affordable for seniors who rely primarily on Social Security benefits.
  • Chino's AARP livability score of 46 puts it in the bottom half of U.S. cities for favorability for seniors. However, the city appeals to many prospective assisted living residents seeking reliable, ADA-accessible public transportation and high access to area amenities, such as parks and grocery stores.
  • The American Lung Association reports very high ozone and particle pollution levels in the Chino region and gives the county failing scores across the three metrics it evaluates. Even so, local assisted living residents often benefit from amenities such as indoor recreation and air purification systems.
