What to Consider About Assisted Living in Huntington Beach
Assisted living facilities in Huntington Beach and the rest of California are governed by the state Department of Social Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Huntington Beach
- Residents of Huntington Beach have access to health care at a lower cost than the national average. The city also has more physicians than many American cities, at 249 per 100,000 people compared to the median of 205 per 100,000.
