Why Choose Us?

The Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) is a program designed to help Medi-Cal beneficiaries stay in their community rather than moving into a licensed health care facility. It provides specific benefits to eligible seniors and individuals with disabilities, supporting their care needs while allowing them to live more independently. While Medi-Cal covers the cost of services provided through the ALW, residents are responsible for paying their own room and board expenses.
