What to Consider About Assisted Living in Belmont

The California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, oversees assisted living facilities in Belmont and all of California. This department enforces minimum licensing requirements for operation, including building standards, care planning and intake and discharge criteria. It also conducts scheduled and random site inspections to ensure a consistent standard of care for residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Belmont

  • Although there isn’t a hospital in Belmont, several major medical facilities sit within a couple of miles of the city, including San Mateo Medical Center in San Mateo and Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City. These hospitals provide a diverse range of services, including diagnostic services, cardiology and rehabilitative therapies, supporting the health of seniors in long-term care.
  • San Mateo County ranks among the healthiest counties in California, coming in 2nd out of the 58 ranked counties across the state. Additionally, it sits in the 75-100th percentile for health outcomes and factors, including variables such as its low rate of deaths in those under age 75. In this metric, data shows that per 100,000 people, 3,500 years of life were lost to deaths in people aged 75 and under compared to 5,700 statewide and 7,300 nationally. Additionally, the local life expectancy is among the highest in the state and nation at 84.9.
  • Belmont’s cost of living comes in 69.2% higher than the national norm, with housing costs surpassing the nationwide median by 80.5% and food expenses coming in at 30.5% higher. While this drives up assisted living costs, many facilities in the Belmont region accept funds from the state’s Assisted Living Waiver, making local residential care services accessible to those with limited resources.
  • Data from the AARP shows a low preventable hospitalization rate among seniors in Belmont, with just 17.5 incidents per 100,000 patients versus 38.2 nationally, and the city has a high patient satisfaction rate of 78% compared to 69% in the United States as a whole. Additionally, 83.8% of public transportation vehicles and stations comply with ADA guidelines, and there are 1.3 stores and markets, 3.9 parks and 0.1 libraries within a half-mile radius of anywhere in the city. These factors contribute to an overall livability rating of 59.
  • California’s income tax rate is among the highest in the nation with rates of up to 12.30% for top earners. Fortunately, Belmont seniors don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, and they’re eligible for the senior income tax exemption in addition to the standard personal exemption.
