What to Consider About Assisted Living in Tracy

Assisted living communities in California are regulated through the state Department of Social Services. Through its Senior Care Licensing Program, the department monitors conditions at residential senior communities, takes reports from the public and publishes its findings to help members of the public research high-quality care. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Tracy

 

  • Tracy's cost of living is high by national standards, but it's lower than average for California. On a scale where the national rate is 100, Tracy rates 147.9. California at large rates 149.9 on the same scale.
  • The city has low crime rates by both state and national standards. Violent crime is especially low in Tracy, which sits at roughly half the national average. On a 100-point scale, the national rate of violent crime is 22.7, while Tracy's is just 11.8. Property crime rates are closer to the national average, though they are still low by California's overall standards.
  • Tracy is a warm and sunny place to live. The local climate is typical of California's Mediterranean environment, with 264 sunny days a year, whereas the U.S. average is 205. The city has roughly half the annual rainfall experienced nationwide. Tracy rarely, if ever, gets snow, and the average cold temperature in January is 38 degrees, still above freezing.
  • Seniors in Tracy can access excellent health services at several local hospitals, with additional specialty care provided at facilities in nearby Stockton and Oakland. Health care costs in Tracy are around 4% lower than the national average.
  • Air quality in Tracy is good by national standards. Using data from the EPA to place Tracy on a 100-point scale, the city earns an air quality score of 70. The national average on the same scale is just 55.
  • Taxes tend to be high in California, which collects revenue from income, property and sales taxes. Most types of income are taxed on the state level in California, including many types of retirement income and private pensions. One bright spot is with Social Security benefits, which the state does not tax. California also offers seniors a homeowner's property tax exemption, plus a deferred tax on residential properties for seniors and adults with disabilities.

Depending on their needs, older adults may prefer to seek other types of care. In-home care and home health services, for example, both cost an average of $5,482 a month in Tracy, which is more than assisted living. However, adult day health care averages $2,058, which is less.
