Paying with Medicaid and other programsOn the California list of Medicaid providers (2026)
On the California list of Medicaid providers. Listed as SAPPHIRE PACIFIC III under Assisted Living Waiver (ALW). (state list, as of Mar 3, 2026)
Being on the list means the community has taken part in the program. Ask whether it has a Medicaid opening now, and how many residents it serves on Medicaid.
How Medicaid pays for care in California
- Assisted Living Waiver (ALW). Medi-Cal can pay for assisted living care services through the Assisted Living Waiver, but only in 15 counties, only for people who need nursing home level care, and there is a waitlist. The resident still pays room and board. (state page)
- Waitlist. The Assisted Living Waiver has a waitlist. DHCS reported 18,365 people on it in December 2025. (source)

How Lilisity works. The only scores or rankings Lilisity publishes are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards, both built from phone-verified resident and family interviews. Communities can pay Lilisity a flat monthly fee to manage their own listing: photos, prices, contact details, and receiving the inquiries families choose to send them. The fee is the same no matter how many families contact them or move in. Senior Living Alliance, which runs Lilisity, offers the same listing to its member communities as part of their membership; members pay SLA for its resident and family interview program. No community pays Lilisity per inquiry, per referral or per move-in. Payment never changes a testimonial, a rating, or the order of search results. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. How we verify testimonials · How we are paid
