Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in La Quinta

Riverside County is one of 15 California counties that participate in the California Assisted Living Waiver Program (ALWP). This Medi-Cal waiver program makes it possible for La Quinta seniors eligible for nursing home care to opt instead for a less-costly assisted living facility. The program requires participants to contribute to their room and board costs, but it does cover services such as personal care assistance, prepared meals and medication administration.

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

What to Consider About Assisted Living in La Quinta

The Community Care Licensing Division, which is part of the California Department of Social Services, is responsible for the licensing and oversight of assisted living centers in La Quinta. To be authorized to work, facilities must provide adequate care, maintain a safe and sanitary environment and meet other requirements that help ensure a high quality of life for residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in La Quinta

  • Although the cost of living in La Quinta is higher than in the United States as a whole, it is still 13.5% below the California average. To help make ends meet, low-income seniors who meet certain criteria can benefit from financial assistance and a number of local programs offered through the Riverside County Office on Aging. In addition, food and housing costs are much lower than in other cities in the state.
  • Criminal offenses, especially violent ones, are not commonplace in La Quinta. According to a 100-point crime index, the city rates 13.6 for violent crime, well below the national average of 22.7. Property crime, however, is slightly more prevalent, at 9.9 points above the U.S. score. Seniors concerned about their personal safety may find assisted living facilities a good place to live due to the wide variety of safety measures they offer.
  • Seniors in California generally pay taxes on most forms of income, including pensions, both public and private, and withdrawals from retirement accounts. To help ease the burden, the state offers several programs for those who meet eligibility criteria, such as head-of-household credits and property tax deferrals. Additionally, income from Social Security benefits is not taxed.
  • La Quinta residents enjoy a moderate climate, with mild winters and low humidity levels. It only rains approximately 13 days per year, and the city’s 269 days of sunshine far exceed the U.S. annual average of 205. However, summers can get uncomfortable, especially during the months of July and August, when temperatures can reach highs of 108 degrees Fahrenheit. Although the Office of the State Fire Marshal does not place La Quinta in a fire hazard severity zone, surrounding communities are at a moderate risk.
  • There are only 99 physicians per 100,000 residents in La Quinta, which is 53% lower than the nationwide average of 210. On the positive side, the city is close to highly rated hospitals, such as the Desert Regional Medical Center and the Eisenhower Medical Center. Health care costs are also significantly below the average in the United States and California.
