What is ALWP?
The Assisted Living Waiver Program (ALWP) helps low-income seniors and disabled adults in California live in assisted living facilities instead of nursing homes. It provides services like help with daily activities, medication management, and meal planning. The program is funded by Medicaid and requires participants to pay a portion of their living costs. Its goal is to improve the quality of life by offering care in a more home-like setting​.
