I am a current client of this providerReview of Home Instead - Rancho Cordova, CA

I'm very happy at this point with everything that Home Instead is doing for me. I'm very happy with the program. Initially, there were problems but we searched through those and found the solutions. Right now, this is really great. I'm very pleased with Home Instead.

I visited this facilityReview of Eskaton Land Park

Eskaton Monroe Lodge was the first place I toured. It's an older facility, it's very nice, it's six stories, it doesn't have a large landscaped area, and it's right on Freeport Boulevard, so it's slightly noisier than the other places. It's a little more expensive; it's $3,500 a month. They have a nursing staff that can come in at an additional cost so you don't have to move if you have a short-term health problem. They allow pets.

I visited this facilityReview of Golden Pond

Golden Pond was a little darker than other facilities, but its also not as expensive as the other places. I probably would have picked them. They have activities, a library, a theater, and everything you need to do. I stopped and talked to the gentleman who was eating and he seemed very happy. Its one long building, and they have very nice people.

I visited this facilityReview of River's Edge

We visited Rivers Edge. They were very nice, we had lunch there, and the person who helped us was very good and very open. We felt like it was a well-run place, and its something we would consider because of the location. The staff member was very nice, willing to help, and showed us around. The people we met were very good.

I visited this facilityReview of Eskaton Land Park

I looked at Eskaton Monroe Lodge. It didn't offer as much as other communities do, and it was more expensive. They didn't provide all of the meals, just one big lunch. If you don't make it in time, they'll give you a bagged lunch with various things in it. The place was very small. The bathroom, the living room, bedrooms, and kitchen area were very small. The staff members were nice and pleasant.

We have hired Golden Years. The manager was very good. He was very professional and very attentive to our specific needs. I was impressed. The caregiver was very good too. She was fun and she was here for 36 hours straight. She was very attentive and helpful. My wife has mobility problems, so her duties were to stay with her and make sure she was safe. She took care that my wife didn't fall, and she helped my wife in any way we liked. She also prepared some light meals for her.

I Am A Friend Or Relative Of A Current/Past ResidentReview of Land Park Place - CLOSED

Our mother lived at Land Park Place for four years before her recent passing. In her nineties and coping with dementia, she found a home there. The staff were very professional ensuring that our mother was safe and supported — and treated her like family. They kept us informed of her well-being and effectively dealt with several emergency instances during her stay. In the end, our mother pass away surrounded by family and caring staff in a place where she felt safe. We will always be grateful that Land Park Place was there when our mother needed their help.

I am a past client of this providerReview of Golden Years In Home Senior Care - Sacramento, CA

We have hired Golden Years before. The caregiver helped me when I went back and forth to the bathroom, getting in and out of bed, or if I needed something to drink or to eat. She came for four hours a day in the afternoon from 2:00 to 6:00 for two weeks. Anything I needed, she would get for me. I didn't want her to clean the house for me, but she offered to do light housekeeping. She was very nice to me and very comforting. She kept me company, too. Toward the end, I had her polish my nails, and I thought that was pretty exciting.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Carefree Senior Living - North Natomas

My mother is in Carefree Senior Living - North Natomas. It's a very nice community for seniors that has lots of activities for them. The transportation to and from stores and different events is great. She is in a cottage with a garage. It's like a little house, so it's very accommodating for her. She has two dogs and a patio outside for them, so it works out really well for her. The staff who handles the administration is very good. Food is not provided. She cooks her own food.

Care Cost Comparison

There are several factors that influence the cost of care, but the type of care required is the most significant factor. The cost of nursing home care in the city is nearly double that of assisted living, and home care services are several hundred dollars more per month as well. In addition to the higher cost associated with home care, seniors who choose to continue living at home must also budget for additional costs, such as rent, groceries and utilities, which are typically included in the cost of assisted living.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Sacramento

Medicaid in California

California’s state Medicaid Managed Care program is called Medi-Cal. Medi-Cal provides financial support, assistive services and access to health care to low-income Californians, including seniors and individuals who are living with disabilities. Medi-Cal programs are funded in part by the state with support from the federal government. In order to apply for financial support and access necessary services, seniors who reside in assisted living facilities must apply to either the Assisted Living Waiver program or the Multipurpose Senior Services Program.

To be eligible for these waivers, seniors must be assessed for their level of need and be determined to require daily care. Financially, individual applicants can’t have an income that exceeds $1,242 or assets valued at more than $2,000, while couples combined income shouldn’t exceed $1,682 or have assets valued at more than $3,000.

The Assisted Living Waiver provides financial aid and services to seniors who reside in assisted living facilities. Some of the services that are covered by the Assisted Living Waiver include nurse visits, medical and dental care, physical therapy and nonemergency transportation. This waiver program only covers the cost of care and services in assisted living facilities and doesn’t cover room and board fees.

To apply for the Assisted Living Waiver, seniors can contact their nearest care coordination agency in person or call (800) 991-6147.

The Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) is another waiver program that operates under California’s Medi-Cal system. The waiver was created to reduce the number of seniors living in nursing homes throughout the state and reduce the stress this causes on the state’s Medicaid programs. The MSSP provides additional support to seniors who reside in assisted living facilities or at home and require a nursing level of care. The program covers a range of services including daily nurse visits, nonmedical transportation and respite care.

The MSSP is capped at 12,000 participants, and waiting lists are common. In addition to the aforementioned eligibility requirements, seniors must be able to reside safely in an assisted community or in their home.

To learn more about the application process, seniors can contact the California Department of Health Care Services at (916) 440-7548.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

State Supplemental Payment

California’s State Supplemental Payment (SSP) is a cash benefit that may be provided to low-income seniors who reside in a residential care facility. The benefit is meant to aid seniors in paying for the cost of room and board in assisted living and nursing care facilities. Benefit payments are calculated based on the applicant’s income. The maximum SSP payment is $160.72 per month.

This program’s financial eligibility requirements are subject to frequent change, therefore, it’s best for seniors to contact their local Social Security office at (800) 772-1213 to learn more information.

Elderlife Bridge Loan

Elderlife Financial Services offers flexible-term, low-interest bridge loans that can provide temporary relief to seniors who need help with the cost of assisted living. Loans are issued to the senior’s residence and paid back by the senior in monthly installments. Although eligibility depends on credit history and income, seniors may include up to six cosigners on their application, which can help to increase the likelihood of approval and reduce monthly payments. Seniors can receive more information on Elderlife bridge loans by calling (888) 228-4500.

Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-term care insurance policies are generally taken out later in adulthood. These policies can cover the cost of assisted living facilities, typically after an annual deductible has been met. Most long-term care insurance providers require policies to be purchased prior to the need for long-term care existing. Premiums vary depending on the provider and the amount of coverage purchased as well as the policyholder’s age and health history.
