The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Inglewood, CA for 2024

 

Inglewood is a large city in the Los Angeles metropolitan area that’s sought out for its comfortable weather and high access to affordable health care, making it a favorable retirement destination for those seeking long-term care. While seniors only make up about 13% of its estimated 104,000 residents, amenities such as Centinela Hospital Medical Center and several high-performing assisted living facilities support a worry-free lifestyle for retirees.

Moving to an assisted living facility is a practical solution for older adults who don’t need medical support but have difficulty with everyday activities, such as meal preparation, personal care and transportation. These facilities have teams of trained caregivers who administer personalized care plans, and they have curated social and recreational programs to promote an active lifestyle. Many facilities accommodate pets, and some have convenient amenities such as hair salons, multiple dining options and pharmacy services. In Inglewood, this type of care costs approximately $5,250 per month, which is typical of California but higher than the national norm of $4,500.

This guide highlights some of the ways seniors in Inglewood cover monthly assisted living expenses. It also highlights supportive resources that help seniors make informed long-term care decisions.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Inglewood

Assisted living facilities in Inglewood comply with state-mandated guidelines for housing, care planning and staffing, promoting a high standard of care in all facilities. The California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, licenses these facilities and enforces compliance with guidelines through a rigorous licensing process and regular inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Inglewood

 

  • In Inglewood, living expenses are higher than what’s typical for the state and significantly above the national average, which may be a consideration for those with limited resources. A 100-point cost of living index based on nationwide norms gives the city a score of 159.1, which is about 10 points over California’s average. Transportation and housing costs are high here, but choosing assisted living over private care may give seniors greater control over monthly expenses.
  • On a 100-point crime index, Inglewood scores 36.5 for violent crime and 35.6 for property crime. By comparison, respective national scores are 22.7 and 35.4, indicating that property crime is about as common here as in the nation as a whole, but violent offenses occur slightly more frequently. For that reason, assisted living facilities have a variety of ways for keeping residents safe, including gated entrances and surveillance systems.
  • Inglewood’s warm weather promotes an active lifestyle and appeals to many seniors who enjoy relaxing outdoors. Daytime temperatures range from 65 to 77 degrees throughout the year, and the city gets virtually no snow and about 14 inches of rain. To support residents’ comfort, many assisted living facilities feature individual climate controls in residents’ rooms.
  • Inglewood is home to Centinela Hospital Medical Center, an award-winning hospital that specializes in orthopedic medicine, rehabilitative services, surgical services and heart care. It also has a stroke center and provides a range of senior services. On average, health care costs in this city come in 15% below the national average, making care accessible to many seniors managing ongoing health conditions.
  •  Seniors in Inglewood pay relatively high state income taxes and nearly all types of retirement income are taxable, including pensions and money withdrawn from retirement accounts. However, the state exempts Social Security benefits from taxation for all seniors, regardless of their income, which may help some afford local assisted living expenses.
  • The American Lung Association gives Los Angeles County failing scores for particle and ozone pollution levels, indicating that Inglewood’s air quality is poor. To support residents’ health, many assisted living facilities have indoor air purification systems.
