What to Consider About Assisted Living in Rancho Palos Verdes

Assisted living communities in California are licensed and regulated by the Senior Care Licensing Program, which is part of the state's Department of Social Services. This office publishes rules and best practices for residential senior care facilities, conducts inspections of communities and receives feedback from residents, family members and staff who work at licensed care communities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Rancho Palos Verdes

 

  • Rancho Palos Verdes occupies some of the most desirable real estate in the country, so it's not surprising the cost of living is high here. Across all categories of common expenses, locals pay an amount that is more than 250% of the average cost of living nationwide. Much of this cost is in the local housing market, however, which doesn't usually affect residents in assisted living communities. Health care, which may be more relevant to seniors in assisted living, actually costs 10% less in Rancho Palos Verdes than the national average.
  • The crime rate in Rancho Palos Verdes is very low. On a 100-point scale, where the national rate for violent crime is 22.7, Rancho Palos Verdes is just 10.8. On the same scale, national rates for property crime are 35.4, but in Rancho Palos Verdes the rate is just 23.8.
  • Climate is one of the major draws Rancho Palos Verdes offers. It's right on the coast, so there's basically unlimited year-round breezy sunshine. The fresh sea air cools the town during southern California's typically hot summers, and the bright sun keeps things warm enough for golf even in January, when the average local temperature rarely dips below the mid-60s.
  • There are 211 doctors for every 100,000 residents of Rancho Palos Verdes. This is almost exactly in line with the national rate of 210 per 100,000. Locals who need advanced medical care also have the option of hopping over the hill to visit Cedars-Sinai Hospital, ranked the #2 hospital in the United States and #1 in California for 2023.
  • Rancho Palos Verdes residents typically enjoy excellent air quality. Unlike much of the Los Angeles basin, this community is perched right on the seashore, which helps keep the air fresh and clean, and discourages harmful pollutants from concentrating, all year long.
  • Taxes can be high in California; many forms of retirement income, such as a private pension or income from a 401(k) account, are taxed just like income from work or from regular investments. However, Social Security income is fully exempt from state and local taxation.
