Westminster Terrace

7571 Westminster Blvd, Westminster, CA 92683
Overview of Westminster Terrace

Westminster Terrace offers assisted living and independent living in Westminster, California. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care.

The two care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time and who may be able to remain at the community while moving to a different level of support. Westminster Terrace has 152 beds, with studios, one bedroom units, and semi private rooms for someone who wants a private space or prefers to share a room.

Carmen Galicia serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 78 places the area in the very walkable range, so most errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.

Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet to the community.

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.
