Paying for Assisted Living in Apple Valley

 

Seniors in Apple Valley can expect to pay an average of $5,250 per month for assisted living.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Apple Valley

For many seniors, the main barrier to moving into assisted living is the cost. Fortunately, California’s state Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, offers an Assisted Living Waiver Program (ALWP) to help qualifying seniors with the costs of assisted living in San Bernardino County. Financial aid is also available to eligible seniors through California’s Optional State Supplement (OSS) to Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in California page.

More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living

While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

  • Veterans Benefits
  • Life Insurance Policy
  • Long-Term Care Insurance
  • Reverse Mortgage

For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in California page.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Apple Valley

The California Senior Care Licensing Program oversees the operation of all assisted living facilities in the state, including those in Apple Valley. The program conducts regular inspections, both planned and unplanned, to ensure that these facilities are providing an environment and care services that adequately support the health, safety and quality of life of their residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Apple Valley

 

  • While local living costs are slightly above the U.S. average, Apple Valley is very affordable compared to other cities in California. The city has a cost of living index rating of 106.7, which is about 40% lower than the state median of 149.9. Health care, housing and grocery costs are particularly inexpensive for the state.
  • California is less tax-friendly toward retirees than other states. Income from retirement accounts and pensions are fully taxed, and at 7.25%, the state also has some of the highest sales taxes in the nation. However, Social Security benefits are exempt from taxation
  • Apple Valley offers a high desert climate, characterized by hot summers and mild winters. In the summer months, daytime temperatures tend to be in the 90s. During the winter, temperatures can fall to the low 30s at nighttime, though they typically warm up and are pleasant throughout the day. The area also benefits from over 280 days of sunshine per year, making it ideal for seniors who appreciate outdoor activities.
  • Although there are many opportunities for outdoor recreation, the city's air quality is quite poor. San Bernardino County receives an F from the American Lung Association for both high ozone days and 24-hour particle pollution. Fortunately, assisted living facilities typically offer a variety of fun activities that can be enjoyed indoors.
  • When seniors need to get around the city, they can rely on Victor Valley Transit Authority. The VVTA offers fixed route services within Apple Valley and a complementary on-demand paratransit service for seniors Monday through Saturday.
  • Seniors in Apple Valley have access to excellent health care at Providence St. Mary Medical Center. The hospital offers a full range of services, including state-of-the-art diagnostic, medical and surgical procedures.
  • Apple Valley has low crime rates, which may offer seniors peace of mind. On a scale of 1 to 100, the city earns an index rating of 19.7 for violent crime, which is lower than the U.S. average of 22.7. While property crime rates are a bit higher at 35, they're still lower than the national average of 35.4.
