The program covers a wide range of health care services including primary care, dental care, physical therapy, mental health services and prescription medications. While the cost of assisted living isn&rsquo;t covered by PACE, the services provided may help seniors reduce their care-related expenses.&nbsp; 
 
The cost of PACE services is&nbsp;determined on a sliding scale, so those with lower incomes pay less or may receive services at no charge.&nbsp; 
 
To qualify for the PACE program, seniors must be 55 years of age or older. The application process includes a full medical evaluation, so seniors must make their medical records available to the&nbsp;program administrator. 
 
To apply, Castro Valley seniors can contact the&nbsp;<a href="https://cei.elders.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Center for Elders&rsquo; Independence</a> at (844) 319-1150.

The benefit is intended to help senior citizens and disabled persons pay for expenses such as assisted living room and board that aren&rsquo;t covered by Medi-Cal or other state financial assistance programs. The benefit amount is determined by an applicant&rsquo;s living situation and marital status, but it may be as high as $423.37 per month.&nbsp; 
 
To qualify for the benefit, seniors must meet the SSI&nbsp;program&rsquo;s income and asset requirements. Seniors enrolled in&nbsp;Medi-Cal automatically qualify for the SSP.&nbsp;

California&rsquo;s state Medicaid program is called&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/default.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medi-Cal</a>. The program provides low-income Californians with medical&nbsp;coverage for physician care, dental services, hospitalization, nursing care and prescription medications. Medi-Cal is most often accessed by senior citizens, disabled persons, pregnant women and families with children.&nbsp; 
 
To be<a href="https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/medicaid-eligibility-california" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> eligible for Medi-Cal coverage</a>&nbsp;as a senior citizen, applicants must&nbsp;be at least 65 years of age and meet the following financial requirements: 
&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Single applicants may have a maximum income of $1,242 per month and no more than $2,000 in countable assets</li>
	<li>Married applicants may have a maximum income of $1,682 per month and no more than $3,000 in countable assets</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

 
All sources of income count toward eligibility. There are exclusions available for assets such as an applicant&rsquo;s home, car and personal belongings.&nbsp; 
 
Seniors who don&rsquo;t meet these requirements but have high medical bills may qualify through a&nbsp;Medi-Cal spend-down or share of cost. This program allows applicants to use excess income to pay medical expenses to reach the required limit.&nbsp; 
 
Seniors can&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coveredca.com/apply/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">apply for Medi-Cal online</a> or call<a href="https://www.coveredca.com/find-help/contact/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Covered California</a> at (800) 300-1506.&nbsp; 
 
Assisted Living Waiver 
 
The state Medi-Cal plan doesn&rsquo;t cover the cost of assisted living, but it does offer an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Documents/ALW_SERVICES.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Assisted Living waiver</a>. This program pays for assisted living services provided in a licensed facility, as well as transportation services, counseling and&nbsp;transitional costs for those transferring from a hospital or nursing care facility.&nbsp; 
 
To qualify for the ALW, applicants must be eligible for Medi-Cal&nbsp;with zero share of cost. They must also be 21 years of age or older and require care similar to what&rsquo;s provided in a nursing facility.&nbsp; 
 
Seniors living in Castro Valley can apply for the ALW by contacting the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.norcalcca.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NorCal Care Coordinator Agency</a>&nbsp;at (916) 385-2784. Those who qualify may be placed on a waiting list due to limits on the number of participants.
