Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Loma Linda
Â
- Health care costs 17.3% less in Loma Linda than the national average, so seniors with medical needs may choose it as an affordable place to retire. While there are only 135 physicians in the city per 100,000 residents, compared to 210 nationally, the city's proximity to Riverside and San Bernardino bolsters health care accessibility.
- Living in Loma Linda allows seniors to access many renowned hospitals, such as Loma Linda University Medical Center, which has won awards for excellence in patient safety and provides services relevant to seniors, including orthopedic surgeries, rehabilitation and neurosurgery. Redlands Community Hospital, recognized as one of the best facilities for joint replacements, is only a short drive from Loma Linda.
- Loma Linda's climate features warm winters and mild summers, making it very comfortable for seniors who are sensitive to extreme weather. The region has 75 more sunny days than the U.S. norm, and winter temperatures only drop to 41.5 degrees Fahrenheit, on average, compared to 21.7 degrees Fahrenheit nationwide.
- Measured on a 100-point index, where the U.S. average is 100, Loma Linda's cost of living is 122.2, reflecting a higher overall cost of groceries, transportation and other necessities. However, the average is driven up by extremely high housing costs, which may not directly correspond to increased assisted living expenses. As such, the city can still be an affordable option for retirees.
- Property crimes are more common than average in Loma Linda, with an incidence rate measuring 41.5 on a 100-point scale, where the U.S. average is 35.4. However, assisted living communities generally have excellent security. Violent crimes, in contrast, are relatively rare, with an incidence of just 12.6 in Loma Linda vs. 22.7 nationwide.
- Loma Linda has several forms of public transportation, including Omnitrans, Riverside Transit and Metrolink. That means seniors can explore and visit local attractions, shops and restaurants easily, even if they don't drive.
- The sales and income tax rates in Loma Linda are 0.5 and 4.7 points higher than the national average. However, Social Security isn't taxed in California, providing some relief for seniors.
