Financial Planning for
Escondido Senior Living
Beyond priceless peace of mind, senior living can be more cost-effective than remaining in your home. We understand that financial considerations are a significant part of this transition, and our goal is to provide clear, reassuring information to help you plan confidently.
How Much Does
Senior Living Cost?
The cost of senior living at Escondido Senior Living depends on the individual’s needs and required level of care. Before a new resident moves in, we conduct a comprehensive assessment to ensure we tailor our services to provide the best possible support and value.
Our all-inclusive monthly fee typically covers:
- Housing: Comfortable and secure accommodations
- Meals: Delicious, chef-prepared meals served daily
- Care Services: Personalized assistance with daily activities, medication management, and more (based on assessment)
- Housekeeping: Regular cleaning and linen services
- Activities & Programs: A vibrant social, recreational, and wellness calendar

Senior Living vs. Homeownership: A Cost Comparison
Many families are surprised to discover that the “all-inclusive” nature of senior living can often be more financially predictable and less burdensome than the ongoing costs of homeownership. When comparing, consider these everyday expenses associated with maintaining a home in Escondido:
- Mortgage or Rent Payments
- Property Taxes
- Home Insurance
- Utilities: Electricity, gas, water, internet, cable, trash removal
- Home Maintenance & Repairs: Unexpected expenses for plumbing, roofing, appliances, landscaping, etc.
- Groceries & Meal Preparation
- Transportation Costs
- Out-of-Pocket Healthcare Expenses
- Social & Recreational Activities
At Escondido Senior Living, our comprehensive services help save you time, stress, and often money by consolidating various expenses into one predictable monthly fee. This allows residents to enjoy their golden years without worrying about home upkeep.
Ways to Save on Senior Living Costs
Escondido Senior Living helps families manage costs with:

State Assistance Programs
Assisted Living Waiver (ALW)
Our community is an approved provider for the Assisted Living Waiver program. The ALW is a California Medi-Cal Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) program that helps eligible seniors and adults with disabilities pay for care services in Assisted Living or Memory Care (room and board not included). The goals of ALW are to:
- Transition Medi-Cal eligible residents from nursing facilities into a community-based, home-like setting.
- Prevent institutionalization by providing support for those at risk of needing nursing home care.
Under ALW, participants pay only the current SSI rent amount, and Medi-Cal covers the remainder of approved care services. If you would like to learn more about the ALW program, please visit www.dhcs.ca.gov or contact us. We will be happy to assist you.
