You are not alone! I personally have been through the very difficult decision of helping an ailing loved one find a community where both medical care needs where meet and the environment was comfortable. I didn’t understand the process of placing a loved one into a community. I found the entire situation to be overwhelming. I choose the first place that was presented to me without much knowledge of the community. I wish I had the guidance from a professional to aid in the transition. This is what led me to Assisted Living Locators. I can help guide you during a difficult time.

How Do I Pay for Santa Ana, CA Assisted Living?
When a loved one moves into a Santa Ana assisted living community, it can leave other family members wondering how they can pay for it. There are several ways to help finance the costs associated with senior assisted living. Below are some of the most common ways to help pay for assisted living fees.
Veteran's Benefits
Veterans have many benefits and resources available to help them when moving into assisted living communities. When receiving long-term care in an assisted living facility, assistance is available for veterans. Financial aid is available through the veteran’s pension plan, and if qualified, additional assistance is provided through the Aid and Attendance and the Aid and Assistance programs.
Long-Term Care Insurance
When planning ahead, consider purchasing long-term care insurance to provide coverage for the cost of assisted living. These insurance policies cover items that standard health care insurance does not cover. Long-term care insurance policies must be purchased before moving into a Santa Ana assisted living community.
Home Equity
Home equity lines of credit help fund assisted living expenses at a lower interest rate than standard credit cards or loans. This financing option allows you to borrow money against the equity in your home and pay it back over time. Additionally, suppose your loved one has a home. In that case, you can apply for a home equity line of credit on their home or consider the option to sell their home after they move into an assisted living community.
Medicare
Medicare A or B does not cover assisted living expenses, including the apartment, custodial care, or activities of daily living. Medicare does cover any Medicare-covered health services provided, as it would if the resident received care at a health care facility.
Medicaid
Medicaid (called MediCal in California) is not typically accepted to pay for the costs of assisted living. However, some Santa Ana assisted living communities may accept Medicaid but limit the number of residents they take with Medicaid.

When moving into an assisted living community, you want to bring all your comforts from home, including your pet. Policies about pets vary by facility, but most allow you to bring your small pet with you. Though most Santa Ana assisted living facilities allow pets, each has its own set of guidelines and restrictions, including pet size, type, and breed. If you wish to bring your pet with you when moving to a Santa Ana assisted living facility, your assisted living advisor can contact the director to discuss their policy about pets.
Many Santa Ana assisted living communities provide scheduled and pre-planned activities for residents. Many of the activities available may include bingo, card games, game night, happy hours, music, movies, reading groups, and other social events. In addition, some Santa Ana assisted living facilities schedule outings for residents, including lunch at a restaurant, going to the theater, visiting a local museum, or a shopping excursion. Some facilities also offer health and wellness programs, such as workout classes, healthy cooking lessons, and wellness-based classes.
Memory care is typically a separate service from those available in a Santa Ana assisted living community. Memory care is not typically an included service because the level of care required for residents with cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia, is much higher. Some assisted living facilities have limited memory care, but this level of care is often housed in a separate building.
