My mother lived there for 2 1/2 years before she passed away. They treated her and our entire family as their own. Wonderful people. Very clean and beautiful environment.

I visited this facilityReview of Truewood by Merrill, Roseville

It was a very nice place. The apartments were pretty good sized. I really liked it. It's also clean and spacious. I only checked out their studio and one-bedroom apartments, and they had two different sizes for studios. They have a chapel and a hair-styling room, but I wasn't interested in the activities because my uncle cannot do any of those. The staff was very nice, pleasant, and informative, too. They gave me all the details I needed. The dining room was huge, and some of the tables were set very attractively. It was actually perfect because I really didn't see anything wrong, it's just that when I walked into the place, it didn't feel like it was a home. But the place was clean and beautiful, and the rooms were spacious.

I visited this facilityReview of Truewood by Merrill, Roseville

We visited here. Everyone was nice. Of course, with the pandemic, people were all in their rooms. They don't have group lunches, group exercises or game time, which is understandable. It looked nice. We just decided that we're going to wait awhile. We saw an apartment, and it looked fine. Everything looked fine. Everybody is kinda sheltered in their rooms right now because of the pandemic. There weren't many activities going on, but that was fine. We met a couple of the staff, and the lady that took us around was wonderful. We didn't try a meal because they weren't serving group meals. We could see the inside of the dining room, but we didn't actually go into it. It was closed off. They had the doors closed, but you could look a little bit, which we did. They had more than one fitness room, and they had group exercises when they're having it. It was good.

My mother moved here. They've been great, very helpful, and my mom is adjusting well, and I love the staff. They have a lot going on, like exercise, bingo, and computer classes. They have bus trips normally. I'm satisfied they have a good support network for the other care. I haven't had any problems with them.

I visited this facilityReview of The Terraces of Roseville

The Terraces of Roseville is more my style. They have assisted living, too. They don't have to change apartments, but they add that service. It is nice and modern, but it is a little expensive. The base price is good compared to other places but they just add on every little thing. All the showers were like walk-in and roll-in. There is nothing to step over and that really stands out to me because I have two adults in wheelchairs. It was impressive. Most of the rooms have islands in the kitchen, so that was nice. The dining room is open all the time.

The Terraces of Roseville is beautiful. It has all been redone. I saw the rooms, which were very nice. It is a very big place, it is off the road, but it is very nice, and very clean. The staff members were excellent. They took care of me. They're good. They have a beautiful courtyard too.

I visited this facilityReview of Truewood by Merrill, Roseville

It is only independent living. The overall vibe there, like the staff members, were really positive. The woman who showed us around there was such a sweetheart. I liked how she interacted with my grandmother and other people who live there. She gave a really good impression. My overall impression is that they were really welcoming. They did a few specific things to welcome us. The apartments were pretty nice, and they had little balconies, which was also nice. There were some people playing cards and some were playing a game. I really liked that the residents were interacting in those common spaces. Their amenities were the same as those in other places for the most part.

I had a very good impression of The Pines. I'm impressed with the cleanliness and the food is very nice. The staff member who gave us the tour was very informative and helpful. It looks like they have a lot of activities. They were doing some sort of cooking thing in the memory care are when we visited and they have shows. The food was excellent. The layout seemed to be nice and good.

Care Cost Comparison

As with other areas of the state and country, the level of senior care is the biggest factor in determining the cost. Services for seniors living in their own homes, such as home health aides and homemakers, are slightly more expensive than assisted living in Placer County. Also, it is important to note that many regular household expenses are covered in the cost of assisted living, which may make it even more financially viable than in-home services. Nursing home care is easily the most costly long-term care option, averaging $4,000 more per month than assisted living. Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Placer County

Medicaid in California

Federal and state governments provide assistance to seniors with low income and disabled people to help pay for a range of health care services. This care includes emergency services, doctor and hospital visits, mental health services, prescription drugs, physical rehab and chronic disease management.

The qualification and eligibility process for Medi-Cal can be complicated. For example, there are currently over 90 eligibility categories, which are further split into full-scope or partial-scope coverage, depending on various factors such as age, disability, income and medical needs.

Most eligibility categories can be disregarded as they are not relevant to seniors, but it’s still recommended to seek help in determining which category provides the most benefits.

Low-income seniors and the blind or disabled can receive full-scope Medi-Cal with no share of cost when qualifying for the Aged and Disabled Federal Poverty Level Program. To be eligible for A&D FPL, applicants must have countable monthly income and assets below the maximum allowed for Medi-Cal, as explained below.

Seniors who cannot afford to pay for required medical services but whose income and assets are over the limit for other categories can apply for Aged, Blind, and Disabled – Medically Needy Medi-Cal. However, ABD-MN coverage has a cost-sharing structure.

Recipients of Supplemental Security Income benefits automatically qualify for the SSI-Linked Medi-Cal category, which provides full-scope coverage. Generally, no separate application for Medi-Cal is required.

While each category is different, the eligibility requirements for seniors applying for Medi-Cal include a minimum age of 65 or, if younger, blind or disabled by Social Security standards. The applicant must be a legal resident of California and also meet income and asset limits.

The monthly income limit for Medi-Cal as an individual is 138 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, which, in 2019, is $1,436 plus $500 for each additional person in the household. The maximum limit on assets is $2,000, which excludes the home, one vehicle and other non-countable assets.

There are no categories of Medi-Cal coverage that pays for all costs associated with assisted living, and this level of care is not considered an entitlement in California. For these reasons, it’s recommended to apply early and get on the waiting list to receive any available services.

It is also important to note that Placer County does not currently participate in the Assisted Living Waiver program, which can help pay for some aspects of care in assisted living facilities elsewhere in California. It may be worthwhile to check the list of participating counties to see whether relocating could be more economical.

Seniors and their caregivers can find more information and apply for Medi-Cal via the California Department of Health Care Services website or by mail. Alternatively, applicants can visit a Placer County Human Services office in-person or call (530) 889-7610 for the Auburn branch.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Optional State Supplement

The federal government provides payments to low-income seniors and other at-risk groups in the form of Supplemental Security Income benefits. In California, the state government also provides benefits on top of SSI through the Optional State Supplement.

Recipients can use OSS benefits to pay the cost of room and board in an assisted living facility, and the money is paid directly to the facility itself. The exact payment amount is based largely on the living arrangements of the applicant and whether they apply as an individual or couple.

In California, the state government has set a limit for the cost of room and board in Medicaid-funded assisted living facilities. This means that anyone eligible for Medi-Cal should receive enough federal and state Social Security benefits (SSI and OSS combined) to pay the full cost of room and board. However, this is generally only true for facilities that accept Medicaid funding.

As of 2019, the maximum combined benefit of SSI and OSS for an individual in California is $1,194 a month and $2,388 for a couple.

To apply for OSS benefits, find a Social Security Office near you or call (866) 931-6087 for the Auburn office.

Veterans Affairs Aid and Attendance Program

Veterans who require help performing activities of daily living from another person can benefit from the A&A program. This benefit can also provide payments to a surviving spouse. The monthly A&A payment is paid on top of the regular monthly pension for veterans, and this money can be used to pay for some of the costs of assisted living.

In general, applicants must meet one of these requirements: need assistance with activities of daily living, be bedridden, be living in a nursing home or have poor eyesight.

Applicants must also meet all of these requirements: minimum 90 days active duty (including at least one day considered wartime), honorably discharged and within the allowed income and asset limits based on various factors. For example, individual income must not exceed $22,577 as of 2019.

It is strongly recommended that applicants seek help in determining eligibility due to the complex requirements for this program. Find a VA location in your area to get assistance in the process, or call the Citrus Heights Vet Center at (916) 535-0420.

Senior Centers

Senior centers can be a great resource for the elderly and their caregivers to receive support and training on various issues or simply as a place to eat lunch and meet new people. While these centers are primarily useful for those still living in the community, they can also provide guidance with issues related to assisted living and transitioning from home to other facilities.
