What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hanford

California's Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division licenses and monitors assisted living communities in Hanford and throughout the state. The agency provides resources, including health and safety regulations and background check information for facilities. It also has a searchable database for seniors and their families to locate care options aligning with their needs. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hanford

 

  • Hanford experiences hot, sunny summers and cold, partly cloudy winters, with year-round temperatures ranging from 37 to 98 degrees Fahrenheit. May to September offers the best weather for outdoor recreation, but assisted living communities provide indoor amenities and activities for entertainment during unpleasant weather. 

 

  • Health care prices in Hanford fall nearly 20% below the national average, helping residents access medical services. There are about 81 physicians per 100,000 people, which is lower than the U.S. average of 210 physicians. However, Hanford is home to Adventist Health Hanford, a local hospital featuring award-winning surgical services and a 26-bed emergency care center. Some assisted living communities also offer limited on-site skilled nursing care or provide care coordination and transportation services for off-site appointments. 

 

  • California taxes pension and retirement account income at some of the highest state income tax rates nationwide. However, the state doesn't tax Social Security retirement benefits, providing additional funding seniors can use to supplement long-term care costs. 

 

  • Hanford's cost of living falls about 4.4% below the national norm and 36.5% below California's statewide average, with lower average costs for housing, transportation and groceries. Assisted living communities also offer fixed monthly rates for services including housing, utilities and meals, which may further reduce monthly expenses for budget-conscious seniors. 

 

  • Hanford's crime rates are higher than national and state figures. It earns an annual violent crime rate of 5.59 per 1,000 residents compared to the U.S. median of 4 and California's statewide average of 4.4. Fortunately, assisted living communities often utilize security measures, including video surveillance and 24-hour staff, to enhance resident safety.
