Senior Living vs. Homeownership: A Cost Comparison
Many families are surprised to discover that the “all-inclusive” nature of senior living can often be more financially predictable and less burdensome than the ongoing costs of homeownership. When comparing, consider these everyday expenses associated with maintaining a home in Chino:
- Mortgage or Rent Payments
- Property Taxes
- Home Insurance
- Utilities: Electricity, gas, water, internet, cable, trash removal
- Home Maintenance & Repairs: Unexpected expenses for plumbing, roofing, appliances, landscaping, etc.
- Groceries & Meal Preparation
- Transportation Costs
- Out-of-Pocket Healthcare Expenses
- Social & Recreational Activities
At Meridian at Chino, our comprehensive services help save you time, stress, and often money by consolidating various expenses into one predictable monthly fee. This allows residents to enjoy their golden years without worrying about home upkeep.

State Assistance Programs
We participate in CalAIM, which may provide financial assistance for qualifying services.
CalAIM is a statewide initiative designed to make Medi-Cal services more coordinated and accessible, including for seniors who need support in a residential care setting. For eligible residents, CalAIM can provide funding for certain health- and housing-related services—such as personal care assistance, transportation to medical appointments, and care coordination—while living in an Assisted Living or Memory Care community. The goal is to help residents remain in the least restrictive, most home-like environment possible.
Local Resources
We partner with agencies such as the Department of Aging and Adult Services, the Chino Senior Center, and InnovAge to support our families.
