We know exactly what documents DHCS requires
Your ALW Application, Compiled and Submitted Correctly
The Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) is a California Medi-Cal program that allows RCFE and ARF providers to serve residents through the waiver with structured reimbursement. We compile your application, assist with state corrections, and can run concurrent state licensing (RCFE or ARF) plus ALW at the same time.
County-specific guidance — Not all counties participate. We confirm yours.
Compile, deliver, assist — We compile and deliver. You mail it. We assist with corrections.
Concurrent state licensing — RCFE or ARF license plus ALW at the same time.

ALW Application FAQs
Straight answers to the questions we get most.
Can you apply for state licensing and ALW at the same time?
Yes. We can process your RCFE or ARF state license alongside the ALW application concurrently, so neither holds up the other and you save weeks of timeline.
Do you guarantee approvals?
No. But there are clear rules around what is required, and we know them well. We help you follow the right steps and avoid common mistakes that cause delays or rejections.
What if our county does not participate?
ALW is county-specific. During the call we will confirm whether your county participates and what that means for your timeline.
How much does the ALW application cost?
Our ALW Application Package is $2,500, a one-time flat fee. That covers the full application, county-specific guidance, corrections, and direct access to Kamil. No hidden fees and no hourly billing.
Is this legal advice?
No. We provide operational and administrative guidance. For legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
