What to Consider About Assisted Living in Newport Beach

The California Senior Care Licensing Program regulates assisted living facilities in Newport Beach and ensures a high standard of care by enforcing rules related to housing conditions and amenities, nutrition services and recreational programming. Newport Beach facilities are licensed through the agency’s Orange County Adult & Senior Care regional office, which individuals can call at (714) 703-2840.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Newport Beach

  • Seniors in Newport Beach can obtain transportation services through the Orange County Transportation Authority, which provides bus service and rideshares throughout the county. Those aged 60 and over, Medicare card holders and individuals with disabilities can apply for the OCTA’s reduced fare program.
  • Hoag Hospital Newport Beach is located in the city proper. This nationally recognized hospital has specializations in cancer care, heart and vascular care, orthopedics and neurosciences, providing access to a diverse range of services for seniors. There are 249 doctors per capita compared to the national norm of 210, and health care costs come in about 10% below the national norm.
  • The American Lung Association gives Newport Beach a passing grade for Particle Pollution Annual but failing grades for Ozone and Particle Pollution 24-hour. While this may be a concern for older adults with heart or lung conditions, assisted living facilities support residents’ health with measures such as indoor programming and air purification systems.
  • Newport Beach has mild weather throughout the year, making it a good option for older adults who enjoy spending time outside. In a typical year, the city gets no snow and about 12 inches of rain, and daytime temperatures fall between 66 and 80 degrees. There are generally a few days in the late summer with noticeable humidity, but levels tend to be low throughout the rest of the year.
  • On a 100-point crime index, Newport Beach rates 12.5 for violent crime and 36.1 for property crime, compared to national norms of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively. Violent crime is less common here than in nearby cities, such as Laguna Beach and Costa Mesa, which may appeal to seniors seeking a safe environment.
  • With the exception of Social Security benefits, all retirement income is fully taxable in California. While this may affect how much seniors can budget toward assisted living expenses, local agencies such as the Area Agency on Aging can help them identify programs that may help them fund long-term care.
