What to Consider About Assisted Living in Madera

Originally named for the Spanish word for lumber, the city of Madera sits in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley and is home to more than 5,400 residents age 65 and over. While seniors make up only 8.3 percent of the population, half the national average, there are five assisted living facilities in the city and 100 nearby.

Each of these facilities are officially called Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly. All of these locations in Madera and throughout California are licensed and regulated by California's Department of Social Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Madera

  • Compared to the rest of California, Madera is a relatively inexpensive place for seniors to live. The city has a cost index rating of 106.7 while the California rating is 168.6. For seniors who wish to stay in the state, Madera may be one of the more affordable options.
  • California does not have very friendly tax policies for seniors. Social security income is exempt, but other sources of income, including pensions, IRAs, and 401(k)s, are fully subject to state taxes. For some seniors, this may make Madera unaffordable.
  • Unfortunately, Madera can get very hot in the summer. Average highs reach 97 degrees in July, so seniors need to take precautions to prevent heat-related illnesses. Winter lows can reach 37 degrees, but there is zero snowfall and only about 17 inches of rain per year.
  • Seniors concerned about safety may want to know that Madera's crime rate is higher than both the state and national averages. There are 3,203 reported crimes per 100k people, 257 higher than California overall and 458 higher than the national average.
  • Madera has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Technology for Seniors program, an organization that helps seniors learn how to use high-tech devices as well as two senior centers.
  • Madera has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Fresno.
