Senior assisted living facilities in California are funded federally, by state funds and also by the patients/families of the patients depending on the facility. There are a number of websites and organizations that can help seniors find the resources to live in these facilities. HELPGUIDE.org is a non-profit organization that can answer questions about the costs of senior housing and also lists resources that can help seniors afford the living facilities.
