Paying for Assisted Living in Carlsbad

The median monthly fee for assisted living in Carlsbad is $5,475, which is above the norm for California, where the typical senior pays $5,250. It’s also far above the national median of $4,500 although this shouldn’t be a surprise because California is one of the nation’s five most expensive states.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Carlsbad

The state of California’s Medicaid 1915(c) Assisted Living Waiver will pay for the services provided by residential care facilities for eligible seniors who live in certain counties, including San Diego County. 

California offers seniors an optional supplement to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) that can be used to help pay for room and board in residential care facilities. 

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.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Living in Carlsbad, CA

Although assisted living’s median fee of $5,475 is above that of adult day care ($2,058), it’s an affordable alternative to in-home care ($6,387). This is due to seniors receiving in-home care not only paying a higher fee but also having to pay existing home maintenance costs. Home health care’s median fee of $6,473 per month covers limited medical care at home. Seniors in need of nursing home levels of care will see their costs rise to approximately $9,384 for a semiprivate room.
