What to Consider About Assisted Living in Tujunga

Tujunga is a residential stretch of row houses and open public parks set against the sprawling floor of the San Fernando Valley, near Burbank and just north of the major Hollywood studio lots. Almost 105,000 people live in this part of Los Angeles, and a solid 15 percent of Tujunga's residents are seniors age 65 and over. To help them live as independently as possible, the area in and around Tujunga has at least 53 assisted living facilities. These sites are licensed through the California Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Tujunga

  • The weather in Tujunga is almost always warm, and it can be very dry sometimes. Average summer highs in Tujunga reach 88 degrees, while winter lows average 41. In California's non-drought years, Tujunga gets roughly 17 inches of rain. Scrub vegetation in the Hollywood hills can put a high allergen count in the air, especially in spring and summer, which may aggravate the asthma of some seniors.
  • The cost of living in Tujunga is a little more than twice the average cost of living in the United States. Healthcare is relatively inexpensive here, costing an average of just 85 percent what seniors pay elsewhere in the United States.
  • Crime rates in Tujunga are generally low. All crime categories together come to roughly two-thirds the average national rate. Most of Tujunga's crime stats are the result of relatively high property crimes and theft, rather than violent crimes, which are even less common than the other categories of offense.
  • Public transportation in Tujunga is provided by the vast Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro) network of buses and rail lines. Seniors ride the Metro at a discount, with valid transit ID, as do mobility-impaired riders and students. Dial-a-ride and assisted taxi van services are available through the Metro, sometimes with same-day booking for Tujunga seniors.
  • The Tujunga 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.
