Paying for Assisted Living in Stockton, CA

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Stockton

Seniors can find financial assistance through the state’s Medicaid Assisted Living Waiver program, which pays for services in assisted living facilities in several counties. The state provides an optional state supplement (OSS) to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients living in an assisted living facility and caps room and board charges for Medicaid-eligible residents to the combined federal SSI and OSS payments minus a personal needs allowance.

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

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Stockton

  • While the cost of living in Stockton is 13.9% above the United States average, it’s below average for California. This makes it an affordable option for those who want to be close to all of the state’s attractions without paying the higher prices associated with the biggest cities.
  • Social Security retirement benefits are exempt from taxation in California, meaning that seniors who are eligible for such benefits can make them go further if they choose to retire to Stockton. Other retirement accounts and pensions, however, are subject to taxes.
  • Getting around Stockton is easy thanks to the availability of several senior transportation programs, including one run by the Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Stockton and El Concilio’s non-emergency medical transportation service.
  • Crime rates in Stockton are higher than the U.S. average and also higher than some neighboring cities, such as Sacramento. Many assisted living facilities are secure communities with video surveillance and other features to give residents peace of mind.
  • The weather in Stockton is usually warm and dry with mild winters. Temperatures peak in July at around 93 degrees and reach their lowest point in January, which is also the wettest month of the year. Stockton scores 8.2 on the BestPlaces Comfort Index for its weather, meaning that it’s considered more comfortable than most places in the United States.
  • Stockton is a bustling city with lots of things to see and do for all ages. Seniors can explore the Haggin Museum, visit the Historic Bob Hope Theater, or take wine tasting tours at the Harney Lane Winery. There are options for all tastes and budgets.
