A pool and fitness center provide options for exercise, while the art studio and woodworking shop support hands on activities.

Payment options are Medicare and private pay. Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay means the resident or family pays directly. Total nurse staffing is 5h 47m per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident. Rosalie B Zbasnik-Hulog serves as the administrator.

Does California Medicaid cover assisted living?

California Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including California) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
