What to Consider About Assisted Living in Daly City

In Daly City, as well as in the rest of the state, assisted living facilities comply with regulations set by the California Department of Social Service, Community Care Licensing Division.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Daly City

  • Seniors in Daly City pay some of the highest state income taxes in the nation, which may impact their budgets for assisted living expenses. Most forms of retirement income are fully taxed, although Social Security benefits are exempt.
  • Daly City is listed on the AARP Age-Friendly Network, meaning its leaders have created an action plan to foster a safe, welcoming environment for residents of all ages. The city ranks in the top half of U.S. communities for high access to health care, mixed-use neighborhoods and amenities such as parks and libraries and public transportation options.
  • The air quality in Daly City is relatively poor and may be a concern for older adults with breathing or heart conditions. The American Lung Association rates the city a C for ozone pollution, also called smog, and an F for short-term particle pollution. Residents sensitive to environmental irritants may want to track high-ozone or high-particle days and participate in indoor activities when necessary.
  • Seniors can obtain local transportation services through the Peninsula Family Service’s Got Wheels program, which provides low-cost services to destinations in Daly City and surrounding communities. This can supplement transportation options that may be available through long-term care facilities.
  •  AHMC Seton Medical Center, located in Daly City, is a 357-bed acute care medical facility with a 24-hour emergency room and several adult specialties. Citywide, there are about 302 doctors per capita and health care costs trend 3% lower than national norms, making care accessible to many seniors in long-term care.
  • Daly City has mild weather, with daytime temperatures ranging from 57 degrees in the winter to 69 in early autumn, making the city an ideal option for older adults sensitive to extreme temperatures. Snowfall is rare, as is noticeable humidity, and the city gets 26 inches of annual rainfall.  
  • The cost of living in Daly City exceeds state and national norms, with the city earning a rating of 210.7 on an index set to a national norm of 100. Housing prices are high, but opting for assisted living may provide greater control over monthly expenses.
