Do any homes in El Monte take residents with dementia or on hospice?
Public licensing data does not show which homes hold dementia or hospice waivers, or which can care for someone who cannot walk. We confirm that by phone with each home before we suggest it, at no cost to you.
Does Medi-Cal pay for board and care in El Monte?
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.

The longest-licensed home in El Monte was first licensed in 2005, and the newest in 2025. 3 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.
