The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Hesperia, CA for 2024

 

Hesperia, CA is a high desert community that's close to Victorville and perched on the other side of the scenic San Gabriel Mountains north of the sprawling Los Angeles basin. Home to more than 100,000 people, nearly 11% of the city's residents are seniors aged 65 and over. Many of Hesperia's seniors take advantage of the year-round sunshine and dry desert heat to golf, play on the city's many public tennis courts or go horseback riding through the natural wonders of the wilderness outside of town. Dining, entertainment and advanced medical care is a short ride away in Los Angeles.

Several assisted living facilities offer Hesperia seniors safe and comfortable places to live. These facilities provide nonmedical caregiver support for an average of $5,250 a month. Assisted living can be an ideal living arrangement for seniors who need assistance with daily activities, but whose needs don't call for a nursing home level of care.

This guide covers many of the most common costs for senior care in Hesperia, along with a list of helpful resources for senior living. It also lists regulatory and government resources to help seniors and their families find the best assisted living arrangement they can.
