Assisted living costs vary due to a facility’s location, the quality and quantity of its services, and some care-specific prices, such as the staff-to-resident ratio. Seniors considering Palm Springs should expect monthly fees to be in the region of $5,475.
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.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in California page.
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:

Seniors paying $5,475 for assisted living could get adult day health care for $2,058, although this option doesn’t provide accommodation and 24/7 care.

The costliest option for senior care in Palm Springs is within nursing homes, where the median cost for a typical semiprivate room is $9,384 per month.
