What does the waiver pay in Orange County?

The same as everywhere in California. DHCS pays the home a daily rate for care by tier, $95.69 to $270.80 a day in 2026, and the home may charge a resident who gets SSI/SSP at most $1,444.07 a month for room and board and basic services in 2026, leaving the resident at least $182.00 a month. The waiver never pays room and board. What ALW pays and what you pay, the 2026 rate sheet by tier, the 2026 SSI/SSP amounts.

180 of the Orange County homes listed here are small homes of six beds or fewer, the kind many Californians call a board and care.

Is there an open bed in Orange County right now?

Only through the Assisted Living Waiver, and only for the care part: room and board is paid by the resident. 216 homes in Orange County are on the DHCS list with an open licence, checked September 18, 2026.

How long is the ALW waitlist?

DHCS told the Senate budget subcommittee on August 12, 2026 that people leaving a nursing facility or hospital wait about 11 to 12 months and referrals from Adult Protective Services about 3 to 4 months. Everyone else waits longer, and DHCS releases openings by its priority order.

Can I choose any home on this list?

What if Orange County has no home that fits?

The waiver covers all of Orange County and 14 other counties. The county page lists every city with homes on the list, and a person only has to be willing to live in a waiver county to enroll.
