What to Consider About Assisted Living in Aptos

Aptos is a quaint seaside village on the California coast, nestled against the mountains to the east of Santa Cruz. Only 6,200 people live in Aptos, but 21 percent of the town's residents are seniors age 65 and over. No fewer than 65 assisted living facilities operate inside and close to Aptos, where independent seniors can get the help they need with normal activities of daily living (ADLs). Like all residential care facilities in the state, Aptos' assisted living communities are licensed by the California Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Aptos

  • The weather in Aptos is typical of California's central coast. Summer highs are mild and rarely rise above the average of 76 degrees. Equally mild winters see average low temperatures of 41 degrees. Ocean currents bring at least 31 inches of rain a year to Aptos. The heavily forested slopes over Aptos often send tree pollen into town, which can irritate the allergies of seniors with asthma.
  • The cost of living can be quite high in Aptos. Costs for all expenses combined average more than double the national average, though much of this is in the high cost of housing in Aptos. Healthcare is comparatively affordable, at roughly 7 percent less than the average cost nationwide.
  • Crime rates in Aptos are very low. Across all categories, rates of reported crime in Aptos range between half and three-quarters the national averages. Violent crime is even less common in Aptos, with many types of violence seeing zero reports for years at a time.
  • The Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District (Metro) operates public transportation in Aptos, as well as the rest of Santa Cruz County. Several buses and trains cover an area from just south of San Jose to Watsonville, with disabled ride and discount service for seniors.
  • The Aptos area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Watsonville Community Hospital and Dignity Health Dominican Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Aptos has an array of community resources for seniors, including Project SCOUT, an organization that provides free tax and other financial assistance to seniors age 60 and over, as well as at least three senior centers.
