What to Consider About Assisted Living in Solana Beach

Solana Beach is a small oceanside town located approximately 30 miles north of San Diego, California. Seniors have plenty of options for recreation, from the Cedros Design District, which offers over 85 art galleries, shops, and cafes, to picturesque beaches with gentle surf and warm water.

About 23 percent of the town's population of 13,400 are seniors aged 65 and over, and there are four different assisted living facilities in the area for those who need extra help with daily living tasks. The state of California regulates assisted living facilities through the Department of Social Services. The Senior Care Licensing Program licenses and monitors Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly and Continuing Care Retirement Communities.
