Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Palm Springs
Palm Springs residents can qualify for Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver program, which covers many of the costs seniors are charged by assisted living communities. This program has income and care level guidelines that must be met for coverage to kick in. Riverside County, where Palm Springs is located, is one of the counties covered by the Medi-Cal waiver program. Seniors must still contribute toward their room and board costs from either their own income, their own assets, private senior care policy coverage, or through family contributions.
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:

Free Assisted Living Resources in Palm Springs
Seniors in Palm Springs needn’t cope with issues on their own, as numerous government agencies and not-for-profit organizations operating in the city provide resources that can help. The following list directs seniors to legal advisors, mental health specialists, government benefits counselors, the Long-Term Care Ombudsman and primary care providers, to name a few.
Located approximately 20 minutes from Palm Springs, the Palm Desert Vet Clinic provides non-medical and limited medical support to U.S. military vets and their dependents. It's open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to help visitors in need of counseling deal with various life events, such as PTSD and grief, and to deliver primary care medical services. There's also a pharmacy and support for those who need assistance to resolve issues with their speech, hearing and balance.
Inland Counties Legal Services is a nonprofit law firm with a group of attorneys and paralegals based in Riverside County who specialize in civil law matters applying to seniors. They can help Palm Springs residents struggling with issues relating to Medicare and Medi-Cal, as well as private health insurance. Additionally, they can advise and support seniors who aren't getting the government benefits they're entitled to and those worrying about consumer debts, such as medical bills and credit cards.
Riverside County manages a wealth of free resources for seniors living at home and those residing in senior care communities. The office is the region's designated Aging and Disability Resource Connection, which means it has trained care coordinators in place to help seniors consider all the options for long and short-term care, as well as review associated factors, such as how to pay. There is also the city's Long-Term Care Ombudsman, which can educate seniors in assisted living facilities about their rights and advocate for them in disputes with their care providers.
California 211 is a statewide referral service that can direct Palm Springs residents to organizations that can provide the support they're looking for. It's a free service, although some organizations may charge a fee for their assistance. California 211's advisors can help seniors with various subjects, including long-term care planning, congregate meals, transportation and government benefits.
