What to Consider About Assisted Living in San Gabriel

California’s Senior Care Licensing Program monitors and licenses both residential care facilities for the elderly and continuing care retirement communities, including assisted living communities in San Gabriel. This department has field staff in 14 regional offices performing regulatory inspections. The Monterey Park Adult & Senior Care Regional Office serves the portion of Los Angeles County that contains San Gabriel.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in San Gabriel

 

  • San Gabriel’s ratio of doctors to residents mirrors the national average at a healthy 211 per 100,000 population. Coupled with health care costs about 13% lower than the national average, seniors are relatively covered from a health standpoint.
  • The city has slightly lower air quality than the national average, at 42 out of 100 compared to 58, based on the EPA's measures of hazardous air pollutants. However, the city's air quality index often trends on a moderate or even good scale.
  • Violent and property crime rates in San Gabriel are lower than the national average. Violent crime includes anything threatening a person’s life, such as assault, robbery and murder, while property crime involves physical assets, such as auto theft, burglary and larceny. San Gabriel’s crime rates are also lower than the Los Angeles metro.
  • Like most of California, the overall cost of living in San Gabriel is higher than the national average, which could impact seniors on limited incomes. While this accounts for living costs 78% higher than the national average, a significant chunk of that difference is due to inflated housing costs. Since seniors in assisted living aren’t typically in the market to buy a house, housing costs should have a limited impact.
  • Climate is one of the biggest draws of Southern California, and San Gabriel isn’t any different. With a Mediterranean climate, seniors in this area benefit from very mild winters, with no snow to slip on and overnight lows rarely dropping below freezing. Summers can get hot, but the average summer high is only 86 degrees, and while a few days may be uncomfortably humid, humidity is usually quite low.
  • As part of Los Angeles County and the State of California, San Gabriel is part of the AARP Age-Friendly Network, indicating the community’s elected officials are dedicated to making their city, county or state a fantastic place for residents of all ages. LA County has an overall livability score of 49 compared to the national average of 50, but the county soars well above the average in the health and neighborhood categories. California’s overall score of 51.
