Assisted living is designed for seniors who need help with daily activities, such as grooming, dressing and managing medications, but do not require full medical care. Residents usually live in private apartments or shared suites, promoting an independent lifestyle yet still providing access to social activities, meal preparation and assistance as needed. Seniors in La Quinta pay $5,475 per month for this type of care, higher than the U.S. and California respective averages of $4,500 and $5,250.
This guide can help seniors interested in assisted living decide if La Quinta is a suitable destination for their needs. It also provides information about care costs to expect and local resources that can help fund them.
