What to Consider About Assisted Living in Northridge

Northridge, California, is a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, part of the North Valley community. Despite its location in a busy metropolis, Northridge is characterized as a quiet, college-centered community. About 18 percent of the town's population of 32,400 are seniors aged 60 and over, and with 40 different assisted living facilities in the area, there are plenty of options for those who need extra help with daily living tasks. The State of California regulates assisted living facilities through the Department of Social Services. The Senior Care Licensing Program licenses and monitors Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly and Continuing Care Retirement Communities.
