We like our apartment at Hilltop Estates. They have lots of activities and I've gone to a couple of bus rides, but mostly we just have our own activities. They have hired a gentleman who was a chef here in town, and he's been here a couple of weeks now. There are some weaknesses as far as the food is concerned, but I'm looking forward to it being better. It's a nice, clean place, it's been redecorated nicely, and it seems well kept up.

My father is in A Touch of Heaven Assisted Living. It's very homey. They're very nice. It's not like a business to me. It seems very decent and never smells. I never had a problem. It has a good atmosphere, and it's very quiet. I've never seen anybody yelling or screaming. Everyone seems very nice. I haven't heard any of the residents complain about anybody that works there.

We've chosen Hilltop Estates for my dad, and it's nice. It's a screaming deal. For the money, it's a good deal. The staff is very accommodating and very nice, the food is fine, and it's adequate. Again, for the money, to give my dad access to food if he wants it is great. It's not like a five-star restaurant, but its fine. The staff there is very nice as well. They look like they have plenty of activities, it looks nice, and everybody seems happy there.

Sundial Assisted Living was very nice, but it's an older place. It's very small and not very social. They don't have a lot of activities. The staff was friendly.

My dad moved into A Brand New Day. It was originally apartment complexes with carports in between them that they made into a residential community. A Brand New Day is a very clean and nice place. It's a large complex that has everything that anybody would need. There's a big courtyard, there are four rooms to each hallway, and there is a shared bathroom. There is a lot of room for people to walk around. There is a library, a television room, a music room, and two separate kitchens. It's a good place; I haven't seen a better one. The staff members are all very friendly. My dad has no complaints about the meals. They also take the residents out once a week to restaurants.

I toured Hilltop Estates. A person can live there and have a lot of safety and companionship and still go out into the community because they have transportation. It feels welcoming and cheerful. I've eaten there and I thought the food was good. It's cooked en masse, but they have choices. You can choose between a couple of different dishes or entrees. They have options for different things that a person can do and they have people come in to entertain and everybody in the facility is invited. One time they had piano students come in. However, there's an odor in that place. It's not horrible, which I'm sensitive to, so I noticed it. I took a tour because my uncle was looking for a place and he ended up living there.

It seemed appropriate for my mother-in-law. It was very clean. The rooms seemed fine, and of appropriate size. We ate lunch there, and it was actually very good. The residents looked very happy, and the staff was very accommodating.

Hilltop Estates was very nice and met my needs, but it's a little bit out of my price range. The staff was nice and excellent. Overall, I was impressed.
Senior care costs vary throughout the county and they’re documented in Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care study. According to the study, the average monthly cost of assisted living in Redding is $3,900, which is $100 below the national average and $600 below the state average.
Costs are comparable in nearby cities, such as Yuba ($3,679) and Chico ($4,000), while fees are much higher in most coastal areas, including San Francisco ($5,500), Santa Cruz ($5,595) and Santa Rosa ($5,500).

The level of care is the most significant factor influencing monthly senior care costs, and that’s especially true in Redding where nursing home prices are more than double the cost of assisted living. Adult day health services are the least expensive option because it’s provided during limited weekday hours only in a communal, community-based setting. Homemaker and home health aide services cost $962 more per month than assisted living based on 44 hours of care per week. Unlike those who reside in an assisted living facility, seniors who opt to remain in their own homes must pay for ongoing daily living expenses in addition to their care costs.

Medicaid, the federally mandated, government-funded health plan for low-income children, adults with disabilities and seniors, provides one-in-four California residents with access to emergency, primary, acute and long-term health care services.
Known as Medi-Cal, California Medicaid eligibility includes monthly income limits currently set at $1,242 per month for individuals ($1,682 per couple) and a $2,000 asset limit ($3,000 for married couples applying together).
All income is counted while some assets are considered Medicaid-exempt, such as one vehicle, a prepaid burial contract, clothing and household furnishings and an owner-occupied home, regardless of the value of the home.
Note: There is also a 30-month Medi-Cal look-back period in California to prevent applicants from disposing of excess assets in order to enroll in Medicaid.
Seniors who don’t qualify for Medi-Cal because their income is too high may be able to enroll under the Aged, Blind and Disabled – Medically Needy Program.
ABD-MN is also known as a share-of-cost program because it allows seniors to pay a predetermined amount of their excess income towards medical costs each month, which Medi-Cal coverage then becomes active.
Assisted Living Waiver
Seniors with no-cost Aged and Disabled Medi-Cal coverage who require the level of care normally provided in a nursing facility may qualify for community-based personal care services through the Assisted Living waiver, a Home and Community-Based Services Medicaid waiver.
This program lets seniors age in place at a participating assisted living facility rather than a nursing home, and it funds medically necessary services and supports, such as:
VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance
Veterans and survivors who qualify for regular VA pension benefits and have a disability or chronic illness that dramatically impacts their physical and/or cognitive abilities may qualify for increased pension rates under the VA Aid and Attendance Benefits or the Housebound Allowance.
For Housebound, applicants must be largely restricted to their home due to a permanent disability. For Aid and Attendance, applicants must have severely limited vision, be bedridden, live in a nursing home or need another person to assist them with activities of daily living.
Note: Qualifying conditions don’t need to be service-related, and applicants may only collect either the Aid and Attendance or Housebound pension.
To apply, visit the Shasta County Veterans Services Office in Redding at 1855 Shasta Street or call (530) 225-5616.
Optional State Supplementation
Medi-Cal members who collect Supplemental Security Income benefits and are in an assisted living community may be eligible for up to $1,194.37 per month ($2,388.74 per couple) in combined federal/state benefits through the Optional State Supplementation program. OSS payments help seniors cover the room-and-board portion of their monthly costs.
For more information, contact the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213.
