Buena Park sits in the northwestern region of Orange County and offers a mild climate, health care amenities and city-sponsored senior services. It features a dozen parks, giving residents acres of trails, picnic areas and recreational amenities, and it houses initiatives such as the local Retired and Senior Volunteer program. Of the city’s 82,000 residents, about 14% are seniors, fostering the need for residential care solutions.
Assisted living facilities have welcoming environments for older adults who need day-to-day assistance with activities such as meal planning and preparation, housekeeping and personal care. These facilities feature private and semi-private housing, with many facilities having apartment-style units, and they serve three daily meals and host social and recreational activities throughout the week. In Buena Park, assisted living facilities typically charge $5,250 per month, although actual rates may be higher or lower depending on a facility’s amenities and the degree of care a resident needs. The local norm aligns with California’s average, although it exceeds the national rate of $4,500.
This guide breaks down the benefits and drawbacks of relocating to an assisted living community in Buena Park. It also outlines some of the state-mandated rules residential facilities follow.
