How to get subsidized housing?

80-year-old mother in Massachusetts, on fixed income, in assisted living received a rate increase which she can’t afford. She and her sister are on title of home in which the sister resides. We are considering a possible move to CA to be nearer to us.

You will need to talk to Social Services where you live concerning subsidized housing. Its not easy to get. There is usually a waiting list.

Surprisingly, according to CareScout, a cost calculator provided by Genworth, assisted living is $1708 lower ($7,350 per month) in California than Massachussetts.

Aging.ca.gov has a page, Determine the Best Housing Option For Me, which may be helpful. It includes continuing care community - would the sale of the house enable both sisters to move into a CCC near you? Seems like a good website to start your search.

Best wishes
