What to Consider About Assisted Living in Alamo
Alamo is a suburb of San Francisco, which has twice ranked among the best U.S. cities for seniors based on factors including healthcare, transportation and the environment. As of the 2010 census, Alamo had almost 15,000 residents, more than 20 percent of whom were seniors aged 65 or older.
For those who are considering moving into assisted living, there are seven facilities available in Alamo and over 130 in surrounding communities. The California Department of Social Services licenses these facilities as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) and defines them as facilities where at least 75 percent of the residents are age 60 or older.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Alamo
- Alamo's bright, beautiful year-round climate allows active seniors to make the most of their time outside. In a typical year, Alamo has 262 sunny days and only 24 inches of rain.
- Assisted living facilities in Alamo may offer outings for their residents. From dining at local eateries to browsing at the Alamo Plaza Shopping Center, Alamo has something to offer nearly every senior. As a bonus, all the attractions of San Francisco are also within easy reach.
- Seniors in Alamo who have respiratory conditions may want to keep an eye on local air quality reports when planning outdoor activities. Contra Costa County received an "F" for its annual average number of unhealthy ozone days between 2014 and 2016. Ozone pollution in the city has been worsening over time, although the city's particle pollution rates have improved.
- Many seniors in assisted living depend on safe, reliable transportation to get around town. In Alamo, County Connection provides local bus service and Bay Area Rapid Transit, or BART, offers transportation throughout much of the San Francisco Bay Area.
- Living in Alamo, as in the rest of California, can take a bigger bite out of seniors' budgets than other parts of the country. Living costs in Alamo are 281.6 percent and 212.6 percent more expensive than national and state averages, respectively.
- The Alamo area is home to world-class medical facilities, including John Muir Health, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
