This guide is a gift. It is free of charge for low-income seniors, families, caretakers, social workers, and case managers. It is my intention to help individuals understand the Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) program, the requirements, ways to qualify, how to apply, and where to go once approved.

For nearly 3 years, I have helped the elderly population qualify quickly for the ALW program. I hope that this guide proves to be informative and helpful. The process and information might feel overwhelming and arduous. However, it is a life changing event once an individual is approved for the program.    

I am an advocate serving low-income seniors for LA County, Orange County, Santa Clarita, San Bernardino, San Diego, Sacramento, and surrounding areas. If you have further questions, additional information, any suggestions, or require assistance with the qualifying process feel free to email me at Tanya@goldenageadvocacy.com.
