What to Consider About Assisted Living in Orangevale

Assisted living communities in California must be licensed through the California Senior Care Licensing Program run by the Department of Social Services. Each facility goes through a rigorous initial licensing phase, regular renewals and frequent inspections in order to maintain high-quality care, proper staffing and a safe, clean environment. 

 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Orangevale

  • Health care costs in Orangevale run nearly 10% below the national average at 90.1 on a 100-point health cost index. This can be a significant help to seniors who have medical issues.
  • Older adults have a variety of health care options in Orangevale. For example, the city is within easy driving distance from both Vibra Hospital of Sacramento and Mercy Hospital of Folsom. The former focuses on wound care, cardiology and rehabilitation, while the latter provides primary and emergency services as well as cancer care, orthopedics and surgery.
  • Orangevale’s climate may be especially appealing to seniors. While summers do get warm, with July temperatures reaching up to 94 degrees Fahrenheit, the city still scores an 8.2 out of 10 on the summer comfort index. Winter’s rating is 7.2; temperatures rarely get down to freezing, and there is seldom any snow. Of course, seniors who live in assisted living enjoy a fully climate-controlled environment all the time, and since so many services are available on-site, they rarely have to go out when the weather is less than ideal.
  • Orangevale is a relatively safe city with below-average crime rates. Property crime stands at 30.7 compared to a national average of 35.4, while violent crime ranks very well, at 16.1 compared to 22.7. Assisted living communities add another layer of security, often with 24/7 video monitoring, around-the-clock staffing and emergency call systems.
  • The cost of living in Orangevale is on the high side at 131.4 compared to a national average of 100. While this can be a concern for some seniors, they can turn to the California Department of Aging for resources that can help them find affordable care and financial assistance.
