Assisted Living & Memory Care in El Dorado Hills, California
Last updated October 22, 2026 · Reviewed by Roberto Hategan, CEO & Founder
El Dorado Hills sits just over the county line from Folsom, along Highway 50, and many families here want a parent close enough for a quick visit after work. Some find the right fit inside El Dorado Hills; others widen the search a few minutes away in Folsom, Cameron Park or Placerville.
If a parent is leaving the hospital or a rehab stay and can't safely go home, call us early. We move quickly to line up licensed homes that can accept their care needs.
We meet families in person, tour homes with you, and help with the move-in paperwork. It's free to families.

Ways to pay for care in El Dorado Hills
Private pay
Most families pay with income, Social Security, pensions and savings. Some sell a home to cover a few years of care.
Long-term care insurance
If there's a policy, start the claim early. Most policies have a waiting period and need a doctor to confirm care needs.
VA Aid & Attendance
A monthly benefit for some wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily care. A Veterans Service Officer can help you apply for free.
Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver
Not offered in El Dorado County. Standard Medi-Cal pays for nursing homes, not assisted living. Ask us about lower-cost board and care options. Some Medi-Cal health plans may also help pay for the care part of assisted living (not rent), so ask your health plan what it offers.
Medicare doesn't pay for assisted living or board and care.

Which type of care is right?
- Board and care suits someone frail, at high fall risk, or easily overwhelmed by a big building. A house with about six residents and one or two caregivers means very personal attention.
- Assisted living suits someone still social and mobile who should not be cooking, driving, or handling medications alone. More activities and more people, with less one-to-one attention.
- Memory care is for dementia that has become unsafe: wandering, nighttime confusion, or needs the current home cannot meet. The setting is secured and the staff are trained for it.

Standard Medi-Cal doesn't pay for room and board in assisted living. California's Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver can help in 15 counties, but El Dorado County isn't one of them. Sacramento County is, though the waitlist is long. Some Medi-Cal health plans may also help pay for the care part of assisted living (not rent), so ask your health plan what it offers. Call us and we'll walk through realistic options for your budget.
