Why is this number different on other websites? Many directories quote a community's "starting at" rent, before care fees. This figure is the state survey median. It is an estimate to plan against, not a quote; ask each provider for its own number in writing. Our methodology →

Ways families typically pay

  • Private pay (savings, income, home equity)
  • Long-term care insurance
  • VA Aid & Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses
  • Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) waivers, where eligible. Rules vary by state

Medicare generally does not cover long-term custodial care. State-specific Medicaid waiver guides are coming soon.

Every licensed assisted living community: 22

A note on counting: we show 22 licensed assisted living communities listed for Sylmar proper. Other sites show bigger numbers when they count a wide radius. Nearby options are linked below, labeled by city.

How we rank these: we don't. Listed by verification date, newest first.

Providers appear with their government data: license status, capacity, inspection history, and a CMS star rating where the service has one. The order is the date we last verified each record, newest first. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.

Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.

Sponsored placements, when they appear, are always labeled. How we make money →
