Frequently Asked Questions About Assisted Living in California
How much does assisted living cost in California?
The average monthly cost of assisted living in California is approximately $5,500, above the national average. Costs range from $3,500 in inland areas to $8,000+ in San Francisco and coastal communities.
Does California Medicaid (Medi-Cal) cover assisted living?
California's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) provides Medi-Cal coverage for assisted living in select counties. The program has a waitlist in many areas. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can also help cover costs in smaller board-and-care homes.
What types of assisted living exist in California?
California licenses Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE), ranging from small 6-bed homes to large communities with hundreds of residents. All must meet state licensing standards for care, safety, and staffing.
Not sure which facility is right for your family?
A free senior living advisor can compare California options based on budget, location, and care needs — at no cost to you.
