What government services provide money for senior housing?

Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview: Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement. Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay. Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program. State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options. Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.

How do you pick the homes you recommend?

Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.

Do you help families that need Medicaid?

Inspection Report Summary for D’Best Care

The California Department of Social Services conducted unannounced, annual inspections of the 306001818 “D’BEST CARE” residential facility in Fullerton across four inspection years. The small home, licensed for six residents and staffed by two or three staff members, consistently maintained basic health‑safety standards while intermittently facing regulatory concerns.

During the 07/27/2021 visit, the Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lydia Martinez found the facility compliant with all applicable California Code of Regulations (CCR) requirements. COVID‑19 protocols were rigorously observed—screening stations, PPE supplies, hand‑washing signage, and an active prevention plan were all in place. The resident census was two, and the environment was described as clean, sanitary, and well‑supplied with emergency food, water, and first‑aid kits. No deficiencies were cited.

The 08/25/2022 inspection, conducted by LPA Claudia Gutierrez, identified two deficiencies. Centralized medication storage was not locked, posing a safety risk to residents, and the exterior and interior of the property were cluttered and unsanitary, violating CCR 87303(a). Both issues required corrective action within a set deadline. The inspector noted a shortage of personal protective equipment and a 30‑day supply deficiency, prompting a technical advisory. The resident census at that time was four.

The 08/06/2024 inspection by Lydia Martinez reported no deficiencies. The administrator was absent, but the facility’s kitchen, living spaces, and medication storage met all regulatory standards. Locked toxin and sharps areas, adequate food supplies, and functioning fire extinguishers were documented. In the 07/25/2025 visit, LPA Brandon Lopez noted the facility’s renewal application had been submitted and again found the home compliant, with no cited deficiencies.

Overall, the facility demonstrates strong baseline compliance, particularly in COVID‑19 and basic health‑safety practices, but requires attention to medication security and environmental cleanliness, as evidenced by the 2022 deficiencies. Continued monitoring will be necessary to ensure these corrective actions are fully implemented and sustained.
