What to Consider About Assisted Living in Yorba Linda

The California Department of Social Services, Senior Care Licensing Program licenses assisted living facilities in Yorba Linda and the rest of California. It promotes a high standard of care for residents through routine inspections and by following up on complaints submitted through its hotline.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Yorba Linda

  • The American Lung Association gives the Yorba Linda region an F for 24-hour particle pollution and ozone pollution levels. While this may be a consideration for some seniors with chronic health conditions, historic data shows that the number of days with unsafe air quality has been decreasing for the past two decades. The region gets a passing score for annual particle pollution levels.
  • Seniors in Yorba Linda can obtain low-cost door-to-door transportation services through TRAILS, a program jointly operated by the City of Yorba and the Orange County Transportation Authority. This service is available Tuesday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and it’s open to Yorba Linda residents aged 60 and over.
  • Yorba Linda seniors pay high state income taxes on almost all forms of retirement income, including pensions and withdrawals from retirement accounts. However, Social Security benefits are exempt at the state level, helping some seniors afford local long-term residential care expenses.
  • Yorba Linda has a high number of physicians per capita, with the city having about 249 doctors per 100,000 people versus the national rate of 210, and health care costs are 11% below the national average. There are no hospitals in the city limits, but Placentia-Linda Hospital and Kaiser Permanente Orange County-Anaheim Medical Center are within a 3-mile radius.
  • Yorba Linda’s overall cost of living is very high, rating 183.7 on a 100-point index based on national norms versus the California score of 149.9. Groceries and transportation costs are high here, and housing prices are more than triple the national norm, which may make assisted living a budget-friendly alternative to living alone.
