Health Net Ends Assisted Living for 3500 | San Diego News

from San Diego News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Health Net is shutting down its Medi-Cal assisted living benefit, threatening housing for 3,500 vulnerable Californians—including those with dementia—whose families can’t afford the steep monthly costs or provide 24/7 care at home. Families are left in panic as the insurer offers little direct communication, leaving residents to navigate a confusing transition with no clear safety net. Advocates warn of a looming crisis: homelessness, hospital cycles, and lost dignity. Health Net claims the program didn’t improve outcomes and cites shifting demographics, but critics say the abrupt cancellation without proper planning puts lives at risk.
