How to use the Assisted Living Waiver in Corona
- Make sure you have full-scope Medi-Cal with no share of cost. If not, apply through Riverside County's social services office first.
- Contact a Care Coordination Agency serving Riverside County. It checks that you need a nursing-home level of care and adds you to the waitlist.
- While you wait, call the homes on this list to ask about open ALW spots and their room-and-board charge.
- When a spot opens, the agency coordinates your move and your care plan with the home.
- You pay room and board each month, often from SSI/SSP; ALW pays the home for your care.
Medi-Cal assisted living in Corona — FAQ
Which assisted living homes accept Medi-Cal in Corona?
20 assisted living homes in Corona are on the California Department of Health Care Services list of Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) providers as of May 11, 2026, including 17 small board-and-care homes with six or fewer beds. They're listed on this page. Call ahead: each home has a limited number of ALW spots.
Does Medi-Cal pay for assisted living in Corona?
Partly. Through the Assisted Living Waiver, Medi-Cal pays for care services (help with bathing, dressing, medications and supervision) at participating homes. It does not pay room and board. To qualify you need full-scope Medi-Cal with no share of cost and a nursing-home level of care need, and there is a statewide waitlist.
How much will I pay at an ALW home in Corona?
With ALW covering care, residents pay room and board, which many cover with SSI/SSP. In 2026 the SSI/SSP payment for someone living in a licensed residential care home is $1,626 a month, and residents usually keep a small personal-needs allowance. Ask each home what it charges ALW residents for room and board.
How do I apply for the Assisted Living Waiver in Corona?
You apply through a Care Coordination Agency (CCA) that serves Riverside County, not through the home. The CCA assesses eligibility, places you on the waitlist if needed, and helps you move into a participating home with an open ALW spot. DHCS publishes the list of CCAs by county.
