The majority of assisted living facilities in Oakland are private pay only, and there aren’t many opportunities for financial assistance unless you’re living in a small selection of communities. Residents in these designated RCFEs can benefit from the Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) if they have full-scope Medi-Cal eligibility and meet other requirements. The ALW only allows reimbursement for services and does not pay for room and board.
