What to Consider About Assisted Living in Corona

The California Department of Social Services oversees long-term care facilities in the state through its Senior Care Licensing Program. It assures the safety of such communities’ residents by ensuring facilities’ compliance with relevant California laws.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Corona

  • Access to top-flight health care is one of Corona’s most significant benefits for seniors. According to annual rankings from U.S. News & World Report, three of California’s top 10 hospitals are in the Los Angeles area: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, UCLA Health and Keck Medical Center. As of U.S. News’ 2022–2023 rankings, the first two are also considered among the top five hospitals in the entire nation.
  • Corona’s cost of living is roughly 45% higher than the U.S. average. On the other hand, the average across California is almost 50% higher than the national one. Most of Corona’s high cost of living comes from the housing category, though; that cost is 114% higher than the U.S. average. Seniors may benefit from Corona’s relatively low cost of health care, which is 12% under the national average.
  • Taxes can also be a bit of a financial issue in this area. Sales taxes in Corona are 0.5% higher than the national average of 7.3%, but income taxes are significantly higher at 9.3% against a national average of 4.6%.
  • The weather in Corona is a strong selling point for those who gravitate to warm, sunny climates. The area gets less than a third as much rain as the national average and sees no snow during the winter. What’s more, Corona receives an average of 275 sunny days per year. Throughout the U.S., the average is only 205 days.
  • While Corona’s property crime rate is only slightly below national averages, it has a much-reduced violent crime rate. On a 1–100 scale, where 100 represents high violent crime levels, the U.S. average is 22.7, and Corona’s is just 8.2.

Paying for Assisted Living in Corona

In Corona, the average monthly cost of assisted living is $5,250, though the exact cost varies based on location and services.

At $5,225 per month, state capitol Sacramento is slightly under the state average. Prices are much lower in the inland city of Stockton at $3,649 per month.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

In-home care and home health care both average $5,911 a month, roughly $650 more than assisted living care. The cheapest option, adult day health care, is just $1,652 per month but provides greatly limited coverage compared to the others.
