I visited this facilityReview of Overture Riverwalk 55+ Apartment Homes

I like Overture Riverwalk, but I'm having problems getting in because they said my credit rating was too low. I really want to move in there, but as of yet I haven't gotten the OK. The apartments were nice. It's close to where I live, it's in a nice area, and I like the programs.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Savant of Riverside

I don’t know where to start because every aspect of this place is so poorly managed. The worst thing is that the meds are not always provided as they should be--meds these people need to survive. They seldom answer the emergency button in a timely manner. I\'ve known residents who have had to wait for hours. The food is the poorest quality you can buy. It is so dry, you can’t eat it. The rolls and bread are old and dried out. If you get a sandwich the meat is so thin that you can’t taste the meat. Fourth, they are consistently short on help. I have heard these \"professionals\" yell at residents and literally gang up on them. It is very rude and difficult on these elderly people. The residents are afraid to say anything because the staff and management all stick together, and if they find out you called the state or the ombudsman, they retaliate. As for the reviews for this facility, they do not reflect how this place is run now. Most of the reviews are 2018 or before, when this place was called the Meridian. It was decent back then. Please read the latest reviews. I would hope you wouldn\'t put your loved one in Arlington Riverside Senior Community without looking into every aspect of this facility. Much of the information on their website is from when it was The Meridian. Lately, they\'ve been sprucing up the outside--I expect to draw more residents. Don\'t be fooled, the money could be so much better spent on decent food and enough help. When you\'re in your 80s and only a few years left, this is not the place you want to spend your last hours, especially if you need assistance. Very little assistance is provided in this \"assisted living\" facility because there simply is not enough staff. I could go on and on with the problems. Just make sure you know what you\'re getting into.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Savant of Riverside

I have friends who have been in this facility for over a year. If I had the money, I would move them out in a heartbeat. Pre Covid 19 this place was terrible, now it is worse. They are consistently short staffed, the residents are treated poorly, and the food is not fit to eat. Every meal is carb-ridden, poorly cooked, and very poor quality. They do not get baths or showers on a regular basis. They used to have cable, but the facility cut it out making their lockdown even more uncomfortable. During Covid, they are not properly social distancing. Often the caretakers and management are not wearing masks when they interact with the residents. Sometimes, it is ten or eleven o\'clock before the residents get put to bed because they are so short-handed. This is not because of Covid--it was like that before hand as well. They have waited on the toilet after being seated on it for as long as 45 minutes before returning to help them. The residents have emergency buttons and callers to reach the caretakers, but they are often not answered. Sometimes they are left for hours without responding.

I visited this facilityReview of Pacifica Senior Living Riverside

Pacifica Senior Living Riverside Legacies Memory Care was nice. The manager of the facility was wonderful. We looked at the single and double rooms. The rooms were a little bit smaller than where my friend is, but they were homier, which to me is more appealing than where he currently is.

My wife moved into Pacifica Senior Living. It's very homey and inviting. The staff is very kind, responsive, they do their jobs, and they're very nice people. They provide arts, exercises, music, and spiritual stuff. They're all good.

I visited this facilityReview of Sunrise at Canyon Crest

Sunrise at Canyon Crest was beautiful, but it's a little higher priced than what my friend could afford. The rooms were beautiful and very well kept up. The personnel were lovely, and the residents seemed very happy. I have a friend who's a resident and they're very happy there. We liked it very much. They were doing a word game when I was there. We saw the dining room, the menu, and the kitchen. The kitchen personnel were wonderful, very accommodating, and well-rounded in what they were doing.

The food we ate at Welbrook Arlington was very good, and the lady that helped us was excellent. The rooms seemed small, but adequate. The programs were good, the residents were listening to the piano, and there were lots of activities.

I visited this facilityReview of Magnolia Grand

Magnolia Grand was nice and everybody was friendly, but it was too much money. They had a very nice dining area. They wait on you like you're in a nice restaurant. Everybody was served on a tray and brought the individual dishes. I only saw the outside of the apartment. My daughter-in-law's aunt lived there and loved it. She stayed there until she died. The only activity I observed was them having lunch. When I scheduled the tour, they said they're going to invite me to a complimentary lunch, and when I got there, the staff member said they'll make me a sack lunch to go. She wasn't too nice. It was a very clean facility.

My father is a resident here; it's a great place. The service there is wonderful, they're very caring, and the room is larger than he had before. The living quarters are spacious and the amenities are good. The best thing is that the staff is very caring and attentive.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Riverside

Medicaid in California

California’s Medicaid program is called Medi-Cal, and it pays for a variety of medical services for low-income California residents of all ages. Medi-Cal is an umbrella program made up of numerous smaller programs which are focused on specific demographic groups, such as children, the disabled and the elderly. It provides services including preventative medical care, mental health care, personal care, prescription assistance and nursing home care to eligible residents. To qualify, an applicant must:

Be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident or legal alien
Reside in California
Be either pregnant, blind, disabled (or caring for someone disabled) or over 65 years old
Have a yearly income under $16,395 for an individual or $22,108 for a couple

For more information about Medi-Cal, visit the Apply for Medi-Cal page or call the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services at (877) 410-8827.

Assisted Living Waiver

Several of the programs under the Medi-Cal umbrella offer assistance with long-term care for seniors. The Assisted Living Waiver program helps individuals who are eligible for nursing home care but prefer to live in an assisted living facility. It offers participants a broad range of services, including help with personal care, meals, recreational activities and housekeeping services. The waiver does not cover room-and-board costs.

To be eligible for the waiver, applicants must:

Be eligible for full-scope Medi-Cal with zero share of cost
Be at least 21 years old
Require a level of care provided by a nursing home but be able to function safely in an assisted living facility
Have a monthly income of no more than $1,242 for an individual or $1,682 for a couple
Have countable assets that do not exceed $2,000 for an individual or $3,000 for a couple (a primary home, vehicle and personal items are exempt from this requirement)

Not all assisted living facilities participate in the program, and there may be a waiting list. Contact the Riverside County Office on Aging at (800) 510-2020 or visit the California Department of Health Care Services website for more information on participating facilities and how to apply.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Supplemental Security Income

California provides Supplemental Security Income to anyone with limited income and few resources. The program is administered by the Federal Social Security Administration, and the payment is automatically added to the applicant’s federal SSI payment. The amount of the supplement varies depending on an applicant’s income. In California, SSI recipients cannot get SNAP benefits because the state adds money to the federal SSI payment instead. To qualify for SSI, applicants must:

Be at least 65 years old, blind or disabled

Have assets of no more than $2,000 for individuals or $3,000 for couples (a primary home and vehicle are excluded)

Live in the U.S. and be a citizen or lawful resident

Be a resident of California

For more information or to apply, visit the Social Security Administration website or call (800) 772-1213.

PACE

PACE, or the Program For All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, provides health care and social services to seniors, regardless of their living situation. Each participant works with a team of medical experts to develop a customized care plan to meet their individual needs. For more information on Southern California’s PACE Program, visit the InnovAge website or call (909) 366-4230.

Elderlife Financial Services Loans

Seniors who need immediate funds to make assisted living arrangements can apply for a loan through Elderlife Financial Services. They provide up to 12 months of payments and can be useful for seniors who are waiting for the sale of a home or going through the process of benefit approval. Approval time is fast, sometimes within 24 hours.

Multiple borrowers can apply for one loan so credit scores are not as important in the approval process. Since family members of a senior in need of care often apply, the age and health of the senior aren’t a factor in the approval process. Elderlife typically requires information about anticipated sources of permanent funding. Contact Elderlife Financial at (888) 228-4500 for more information.
