Medi-Cal is changing, and for families with loved ones in assisted living, staying informed matters more than ever. A free community town hall in Lompoc will walk local residents through what these changes mean and how to protect coverage.
Event Details
The Lompoc Town Hall on Medi-Cal Changes takes place Wednesday, August 26, 2026, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, with doors opening at 5pm. It will be held at El Camino School Auditorium, 1320 N. J St., Lompoc, CA 93436.
Entry and dinner are free, and Spanish and Mixtec interpretation will be available. Parking is limited on site, but street parking is available nearby. Since classes will be in session that evening, attendees are asked to head directly to the auditorium.
Why This Matters for Assisted Living Families
Medi-Cal helps cover long term care costs for many seniors, and changes to eligibility or benefits can directly affect how families plan for assisted living. This town hall offers a chance to learn about local resources, understand how to keep Medi-Cal coverage active, and connect with community support organizations who can answer questions in person.
The event is hosted with support from County of Santa Barbara Health, the Department of Health Care Services, CenCal Health, Santa Barbara County Social Services, Family Service Agency, Lompoc Valley Community Healthcare Organization, and several other local partners.
Plan Ahead
Attendees can scan the QR code on the event flyer to register in advance. For families across the Central Coast, including those exploring assisted living options in San Luis Obispo, events like this are a valuable way to stay ahead of policy changes that could affect care and coverage in the months ahead.
