Located in the San Gabriel Valley about 20 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles, Glendora offers access to recreational and cultural amenities, health care facilities and flexible long-term care options. It has a fairly large senior community that makes up nearly 16% of its 53,000 residents. Warm weather and good air quality promote a therapeutic environment for older adults recovering from serious injuries and illnesses, and affordable health care costs benefit those managing ongoing conditions. The city is home to Emanate Health Foothill Presbyterian Hospital, which specializes in orthopedics, cardiology and palliative care.
Glendora also meets the needs of its older residents through access to several nursing homes. These facilities offer personal care, rehabilitative therapies and around-the-clock medical care and monitoring for those with significant medical needs. This type of care is the costliest long-term care option in the city, with the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey reporting seniors pay $9,125 for shared rooms. Assisted living or home care may be affordable alternatives for those who only need personal care or limited skilled nursing services.
This guide provides more details on nursing home costs in Glendora, as well as an overview of agencies and programs that serve seniors.
