What to Consider About Assisted Living in Westlake Village

Westlake Village is located in Los Angeles County, just to the south of Thousand Oaks and to the north of Malibu. The area is home to the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains and is known for being host to an array of wineries. Twenty-five percent of the city's 8,400 residents are over the age of 65. Communities that provide assisted living services to the elderly are officially known as Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) throughout the state of California. In Westlake Village, there's only one RCF. However, there are an additional 53 RCFs in nearby cities such as Thousand Oaks, West Hills, and Simi Valley.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Westlake Village

  • Los Angeles County is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.

  • The Westlake Village area is home to world-class medical facilities, such as Los Robles Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Westlake Village has a year-round coastal climate. That means limited precipitation and an average January low temperature of 47 degrees, which is nearly 25 degrees above the U.S. average. Seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors can thrive in a place like Westwood Village.

  • Although the state of California doesn't tax social security income, all other forms of retirement income are taxed by the state, and California has some of the highest income tax rates in the country. Seniors on a budget may find it difficult to make ends meet living in Westlake Village.

  • Another important consideration for seniors on a budget is the cost of living in Westlake Village, which is 152 percent higher than the national average.

  • Seniors can travel safely throughout Westlake Village and the Thousand Oaks Area using Thousand Oaks Transit. Reduced fares are available for seniors.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Westlake Village

Seniors who reside in RCFs in the Westlake Village area can apply for financial assistance under a 1915(c) Medicaid Assisted Living Waiver, which is meant to cover the cost of assisted living services. 

Seniors who are receiving  Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are able to apply for an Optional State Supplement (OSS) if they require financial assistance with the cost of room and board. The state puts a cap on the amount RCFs are permitted to charge Medicaid eligible residents for room and board.

Family supplementation isn't permitted in California.
