The Cost of Assisted Living in Modesto, CA and Nearby Cities
California’s inland cities are more likely to have lower assisted living costs than their coastal cousins. For example, seniors in Santa Cruz typically pay $5,550 per month for assisted living, while their peers in Vallejo and Stockton average $4,950 and $3,649, respectively. However, a coastal location isn’t the only factor as San Jose’s $6,000 average confirms.

Paying for Assisted Living in Modesto

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Modesto
For many seniors considering a move into assisted living, one of the most significant concerns is the cost. Fortunately, help is available to those who qualify through California’s Optional State Supplement (OSS) to Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
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

Free Assisted Living Resources in Modesto
Modesto’s seniors can call on numerous nonprofit organizations and government agencies that offer support free of charge. The following list touches on some of the help available, including legal aid, social programs, veterans services and advocacy for assisted living residents who have concerns about the quality of their care.
The Long-Term Care Ombudsman's purpose is to raise the standards of care in California's senior living facilities. Ombudsmen are trained volunteers who engage directly and confidentially with residents, investigate their complaints and negotiate resolutions. The program can issue copies of inspection reports to help seniors make more informed decisions.
The Stanislaus County Veteran Services Office assists U.S. military vets and their spouses and dependents. VSOs can help vets identify and apply for the local, state and federal benefits they're entitled to and support their objections if their claim is denied. They can also refer clients to the Modesto VA Clinic.
The Modesto Senior Citizens Center is a hub for the city's 60+ community. Its weekly calendar includes ongoing social events and activities, such as bingo and walking groups, as well as special events and entertainment, including movies in the park. There are also strength training classes and fitness groups, including Zumba Gold and tai chi.
This county office administers several programs for seniors who want to volunteer to help others. The Friendly Visitor Program benefits local seniors who would otherwise be alone for long periods. VetsVAN is a volunteer transportation service that takes homebound vets to medical appointments. Volunteers can also train to become Medicare insurance counselors.
The Senior Law Project is a legal program exclusively for Stanislaus County residents aged 60 and older. The project provides legal advice and representation in civil law matters only. It covers health care, such as private insurance disputes, as well as elder abuse, powers of attorney and wills.
