Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Lake Balboa

Elderly people who receive assisted living in Lake Balboa may be eligible to receive financial help with the cost of care from MediCal, the state's Medicaid system. MediCal's Assisted Living Waiver exists to help low-income Californians pay for the cost of care in residential care facilities. 

While MediCal doesn't cover the cost of room and board, the State Supplemental Payment, which is provided to seniors who receive Supplemental Security Income, can help to cover those costs. 

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

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lake Balboa

  • Los Angeles, including Lake Balboa, 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.
  • Lake Balboa and the Los Angeles area have the worst air quality in the country. Seniors with respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses may find that breathing air with high levels of pollution has a negative effect on their symptoms. 
  • The Lake Balboa area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Valley Presbyterian Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

The city has an average of 7.7 violent crimes per 1,000 residents each year, while the state's average is only 4.49 per 1,000 residents. It's important that seniors choose a residential care facility that takes care to protect the safety and security of its residents. 
  • Seniors on a tight budget might find the Lake Balboa area expensive. The city's cost of living is 95% higher than the national average, primarily due to the high cost of housing and transportation in the area.
  • Seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors can do so year-round while living in Lake Balboa, as the climate is fairly consistent. Lake Balboa doesn't get any snowfall during the year and only sees an average of 16 inches of rain each year.
