Woodland, CA, known as The City of Trees, is home to about 61,400 residents, of whom 13.4% are aged 65 years or older. Seniors here can find geriatric care at Woodland Memorial Hospital and Dignity Health Medical Foundation. A wide range of medical services is available less than 30 minutes away in Sacramento as well.
When older individuals can longer manage on their own or with help at home, nursing homes can provide the round-the-clock medical attention and supervision they need. In addition to room and board, these facilities typically feature skilled nurses and aides, therapies and social programming. Such amenities make nursing home care more expensive than other senior living arrangements. This is especially so in Woodland. The Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey estimates that a semiprivate room in a nursing home in this city carries an average monthly cost of $10,463, compared to the national average monthly cost of $7,908. Seniors who do not require a high level of continual care may find home health care or assisted living to be more suitable and affordable options.
