Fresno is in the San Joaquin Valley in California. The city features multiple hospitals and a cost of living that is reasonable for California, and it prides itself on historic preservation. For reasons like these, many seniors live in the city — of Fresno’s 542,107 residents, 11.1% are at least 65 years of age.
Staff members in assisted living facilities provide support when residents need it, easing daily tasks, including grooming and moving about. They may also provide ancillary services such as transportation. These facilities are a good choice to consider for seniors who do not require the 24-hour medical oversight that typifies nursing homes but who can no longer live safely alone. Fresno seniors pay an average of $3,900 per month for assisted living accommodations, which is $1,350 below the California median.
