How much does board and care cost in Santa Monica?
Board and care homes in California typically charge $3,000 to $6,000 a month, depending mostly on how much hands-on care is needed. Assisted living base rent in Westside usually runs $5,500 to $6,000 a month before care levels are added.
Do any homes in Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica?
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 Santa Monica been licensed?
The longest-licensed home in Santa Monica was first licensed in 1977, and the newest in 2024. 1 home has 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.
