Located less than 25 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean just south of Los Angeles, Anaheim is a vibrant city of 350,000 that’s best known as the home of the Disneyland Resort, the Anaheim Ducks, and for its sunny, warm weather.

The city’s approximately 40,000 seniors aged 65 and older can take advantage of the many free and low-cost recreational programs, explore area parks and walking trails and take in world-class cultural exhibits and performances. There’s also a number of top-ranked health care facilities in the region, including the 219-bed West Anaheim Medical Center and the Anaheim Regional Medical Center

According to Genworth Financial’s 2020 Cost of Care Survey, on average, assisted living care in Anaheim costs $5,000 per month, which is the same as California’s statewide average. Rates in Anaheim are lower than the rates in nearby Oxnard, where seniors spend about $5,845 per month on assisted living care, while to the south, San Diego’s assisted living costs are $475 below the statewide average. As with most other areas near California’s coast, Anaheim’s cost of living is about 50% higher than the national average. Note: Information for Anaheim was not available, so data from the nearest city, Los Angeles, was used.

We’ve put together this list of the top 10 assisted living facilities in the Phoenix area.

Financial Assistance Programs in Anaheim

Medi-Cal for Seniors

In Anaheim, the Medicaid program is called Medi-Cal. Older low-income adults with limited resources can receive free assistance with the cost of senior care. It covers nursing home care, various medical care, prescription drugs, and some dental and vision care.

Since Medi-Cal is an entitlement program, all older Anaheim residents who meet the requirements will receive services. Medi-Cal also offers waivers (below) to help cover the cost of senior care that Medi-Cal does not pay for, such as assisted living and in-home care services. Unfortunately, some of the Medicaid waivers are not entitlement programs, which means if enrollment caps are reached, waiting lists may be a barrier.

Older adults interested in enrolling in Medi-Cal must have a monthly income below $1,012 in 2018 if single, and $1,372 if married. In addition, assets cannot exceed $2,000 for single applicants or $3,000 for couples.

Elderly Anaheim citizens who meet the requirements for Medi-Cal can apply by creating a free account, then complete the online application. They can also visit their local Department of Health Care Services or call (800) 281-9799.

Other Financial Assistance Programs in Anaheim

Assisted Living Waiver Program (ALWP)

Anaheim residents who are eligible for full-scope Medi-Cal with no Share of Cost, require a nursing home level of care, and are living or already living in an assisted living facility or subsidized house can apply for an Assisted Living Waiver. The waiver covers assisted living services. Read our guide on the ALW for more in-depth information and how to apply.

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)

Through the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program, seniors who prefer to stay in their home rather than in a nursing home can receive various non-medical personal care services with a limited number of monthly hours. Those who qualify will select their own care provider, which can be a spouse. Eligible Anaheim seniors can apply for IHSS by calling (714) 825-3000.

Medical Safety Net (MSN)

Anaheim adults 64 or younger with no medical insurance may qualify for the MSN program. Eligible participants are required to seek medical care from in-network community clinics and urgent care centers. Visit the OC Health Care Agency website for a complete list of covered medical services, copay information, eligibility requirements, and details on how to apply.

Multi-Purpose Senior Services (MPSS) Program

The MPSS is a state-funded program for older adults at risk of being placed in a nursing home. Some services the program covers include adult day care, help with activities of daily living, care management, respite, and transportation. Read more for a full list of covered services, eligibility requirements, and how to apply.

PACE

PACE is a Medicare and Medicaid program that covers long-term care services for seniors 55 or older who are able to live safely, with assistance, at home or in a community. Those who receive Medicare or Medi-Cal and do not have a Share of Cost will not have to pay for PACE services. Learn more about this program and how to apply at CalOptima.

Supportive Services Program

Anaheim adults 60 years or older who need help with one or more activities of daily living can apply for the Supportive Services Program. There is no income requirement, but applicants cannot be enrolled in any other government-funded program. For additional information, including how to apply, visit the California Department of Aging website.
