Medi-Cal Community Supports

CalAIM Home Care

If your loved one has Medi-Cal, they may qualify for personal care, homemaker, and respite services through CalAIM — California's initiative to bring more home-based support to Medi-Cal members. Entrust Senior Care is actively working toward becoming an approved CalAIM Community Supports provider, and we're glad to help your family understand what's available.

What Is CalAIM?

A Medi-Cal benefit, not an insurance plan

CalAIM — California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal — is a statewide initiative that lets Medi-Cal managed care plans offer services called "Community Supports," including in-home personal care, homemaker help, and caregiver respite, as an alternative to costlier hospital or facility care.

Eligibility requires enrollment in Medi-Cal and a Medi-Cal managed care plan, and specific requirements can vary by plan and service. A care coordinator or your managed care plan can confirm exactly what you qualify for.

What CalAIM can provide

Personal Care & Homemaker Services

Help with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, and grooming, plus homemaker support such as light housekeeping and grocery shopping — aimed at keeping members safely and comfortably at home.

Respite Care

Temporary relief for family caregivers, with supervision provided so your loved one is cared for while you rest. This helps prevent caregiver burnout while keeping care consistent.

Common Questions

A couple of things families often ask

Is this really free? CalAIM Community Supports are a Medi-Cal benefit. If your loved one qualifies, there's no cost to your family for the authorized services.

How is this different from IHSS? IHSS is a separate program with its own application process. CalAIM can provide care while you wait for IHSS approval, or add support on top of IHSS hours if those aren't enough on their own.
