Good to know
Senior living in Merced County — FAQ
How much does assisted living cost in Merced County?
Across 21 licensed communities in Merced County, the average all-in cost is about $4,688 per month (median $4,700). All-in means base rent plus a typical care add-on; one-time move-in fees are extra. Most prices on Chapter are estimates until each community verifies its own rate.
How many board and care homes are in Merced County?
17 of the county's 21 licensed communities are small board-and-care homes with six or fewer residents, averaging about $4,653 per month. They're licensed as residential care facilities for the elderly (RCFEs), just like larger assisted living communities, but operate in ordinary houses with a few caregivers.
Does Medi-Cal pay for assisted living in Merced County?
Medi-Cal doesn't pay for assisted living in Merced County: the Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) only operates in 15 California counties, and Merced isn't one of them. Families here usually combine private funds, SSI/SSP, VA benefits, or long-term care insurance.
Does Chapter charge families or sell my information?
No. Chapter is free for families and never sells or shares your contact information. When you book a tour, your details go only to that one community.
