Paying for care
How to pay for senior living in California
Most families combine private funds with one or more of these programs. Here's a plain-English rundown of what's available in California.
Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver (ALW)
California's Assisted Living Waiver lets Medi-Cal cover the care portion of assisted living — personal care and health services, not room and board — for people who would otherwise qualify for a nursing home. You generally must have full Medi-Cal with no share of cost, be 21 or older, need nursing-facility level of care, and live in one of the roughly 15 participating counties (which include Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, Orange, and San Francisco). Slots are capped and there's usually a waitlist, so families apply early through a local Care Coordination Agency.
VA Aid & Attendance pension
Wartime veterans and their surviving spouses who need help with daily activities may qualify for the VA's Aid & Attendance pension, which is added on top of the basic VA pension to help pay for care. For December 2025 through November 2026, the maximum is roughly $2,424 a month for a single veteran, $2,874 for a veteran with a spouse, and $1,558 for a surviving spouse. Eligibility depends on service history, income, and net worth.
Long-term care insurance
If your loved one holds a long-term care insurance policy, it often pays toward assisted living or memory care once they need help with two or more activities of daily living. Check the daily or monthly benefit amount, the elimination (waiting) period, and whether the policy requires a licensed community — nearly every community in our directory is state-licensed.
Medical expense tax deduction
When a resident is chronically ill — needing help with at least two activities of daily living, or requiring supervision due to cognitive decline — and care follows a documented plan of care, the IRS lets you deduct qualifying medical costs above 7.5% of adjusted gross income, if you itemize. Care services, medication management, and dementia care typically qualify; pure room and board usually doesn't. A tax professional can confirm what applies to your situation.
This is general information to help you plan — not financial, tax, or legal advice. Benefit amounts and eligibility rules change, so confirm details with the program or a qualified professional before making decisions.
