Do any homes in Altadena take residents with dementia or on hospice?

Does Medi-Cal pay for board and care in Altadena?

Medi-Cal can pay for care services in some homes through the Assisted Living Waiver or CalAIM Community Supports, but it does not pay for room and board. Most residents cover that part from income such as SSI. Our Medi-Cal checker shows where you stand in two minutes.

How long have the homes in Altadena been licensed?

The longest-licensed home in Altadena was first licensed in 2000, and the newest in 2025. 2 homes have been licensed since the start of 2024. A long license history is not a guarantee of quality, so always check a home's inspection reports at CDSS.
