What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pasadena

Pasadena’s residential care facilities, including assisted living communities, must comply with the robust set of rules set by the California Department of Social Services to receive and maintain their operating licenses.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pasadena

  • The city’s government offers a Dial-a-Ride service for senior residents. This low-rate service provides curb-to-curb transportation within Los Angeles County. 
  • While Pasadena’s overall cost of living is well above the state and national medians, costs for utilities, transportation and groceries are in line with the rest of California. 
  • Pasadena’s health care providers charge less than other parts of the country. Additionally, the city has 211 medical professionals for every 100,000 residents, compared with the national average of 210. 
  • The city is home to several medical centers, including Huntington Health, which has a specialized senior care department. Other highly rated hospitals are the Alhambra Hospital Medical Center and the Methodist Hospital. 
  • Pasadena retirees enjoy excellent weather year-round. The city has 286 sunny days yearly, sees no snow and rarely experiences rain. 
  • The city has low violent crime rates and ranks slightly above the national median for property crime. Additionally, assisted living facilities generally have security measures in place for residents. 

Paying for Assisted Living in Pasadena

Pasadena’s average prices for assisted living facilities are equal to the state’s median of $5,250 but higher than the national average of $4,500.
