What to Consider About Assisted Living in Compton

The Senior Care Licensing Program, housed within the California Department of Social Services, licenses and oversees all assisted living facilities in Compton. It enforces minimum standards for housing, staffing and care planning through an initial and annual licensing process, as well as regular inspections. It also follows up on complaints filed by or on behalf of residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Compton

  • Compton’s cost of living exceeds the national norm by 62% and the California average by about 8%. While this may be a consideration for those seeking budget-friendly retirement accommodations, health care costs in this city come about 10% below state and national norms and may offset higher living costs. Since Compton sits within Los Angeles County, qualified seniors may be able to pay for assisted living services in approved facilities through the state-funded Assisted Living Waiver.
  • Annually, Compton reports about 38 crimes per 1,000 residents, putting it in the bottom 6% of U.S. communities for safety. Violent offenses occur about twice as often here as in a typical California city, and the property crime rate outpaces norms in the state and nation as a whole. Even so, several neighborhoods report below-average crime rates, including Richland Farms and East Rancho Dominquez, appealing to those seeking local assisted living services.
  • California fully taxes income from pensions and retirement accounts at rates ranging from 1.0-13.3%. While this is high compared to most other states, seniors receive an additional benefit that allows them to double the standard exemption. Additionally, the state exempts Social Security benefits for all seniors, providing significant savings for those who rely solely on this form of income.
  • Two hospitals sit within a 3-mile radius of Compton, including Saint Francis Medical Center in Lynwood and Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital in Los Angeles, providing high access to care for assisted living residents. These hospitals provide primary and specialty care services, such as pulmonology, cardiology and surgery, along with wellness classes that address issues such as chronic pain management and diabetes.
  • Compton scores 50 points on the AARP Livability Index, aligning closely with the average U.S. city score of 48 and indicating a moderate range of benefits and amenities for seniors. Assisted living residents in this community enjoy access to diverse amenities, including an average of 2.4 grocery stores and 2.3 parks within half a mile of anywhere in the city, and there are about 3.3 cultural institutions per 10,000 people compared to 1.9 nationally.
