What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sylmar

Sylmar occupies a slice of valley floor to the north of Burbank, above the Hollywood Hills and not more than a bicycle ride away from almost all the major Hollywood studios. Almost 25,000 people live in Sylmar, but just 8.8 percent of the city's residents are seniors age 65 and over. Sylmar is fully integrated with the surrounding valley communities, which share 98 assisted living facilities between them where seniors can live with as much independence and privacy as their health allows. These assisted living communities, like residential care facilities all over the state, are regulated and licensed through the California Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Sylmar

  • The weather in Sylmar is generally warm and dry, like most of the rest of the valley. Summer highs here average 88 degrees, while the mild winters rarely dip below the average lows of 41 degrees. This part of the greater Los Angeles basin is semi-arid and gets just 17 inches of rain a year, though droughts often disrupt even that. Every year, the Santa Ana winds waft allergens in from the surrounding hills that can irritate some seniors' asthma or COPD.
  • The cost of living in Sylmar is somewhat above California's average and more than double the national average cost. Healthcare is, by contrast, relatively affordable in Sylmar. Seniors in Sylmar pay an average of 15 percent less for healthcare than seniors nationwide.
  • Crime rates in Sylmar are generally low. All reported crimes together come to roughly 60 percent of the average national rate, while the most serious categories of crime are less commonly reported than that.
  • Public transportation in Sylmar is provided by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro). This service operates multiple bus and rail routes around the San Fernando Valley, which seniors and mobility-impaired riders can take at a discount. Dial-a-ride and disabled ride services are available with same- or next-day booking.
  • The Sylmar area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Dignity Health - Northridge Hospital Medical Center and UCLA Health, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Los Angeles is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
