Monthly and annual senior-care costs for California.
Assisted living in California costs roughly $6,210 per month (about $74,520 a year) on average — and Medicare does not cover it. Here is what to plan for.
The ~$6,210/month estimate is for a standard one-bedroom with light care; higher care needs and larger apartments cost more. Refine it by care level in the assisted living cost calculator.
Assisted living is private-pay: savings, long-term care insurance, a home sale, or California Medicaid waivers once assets are spent down. Veterans may qualify for Aid & Attendance.
