What to Consider About Assisted Living in Dana Point
The scenic coastal city of Dana Point in southern Orange County, California, lives up to its motto “harboring the good life,” offering a desirable community for retirees. With 20.5 percent of the population aged 65 and over, there are three assisted living facilities in Dana Point and 59 more in surrounding areas including Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo and San Clemente. These facilities in the Golden State are called Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) for the elderly and licensed by the Community Care Licensing Division of the Department of Social Services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Dana Point
- Dana Point’s pleasant year-round climate receives a Sperling comfort index of 82, which is higher than the national average of 54. Mild, snow-free winters, low precipitation and abundant sunshine let seniors enjoy harborside walks, sailing, fishing and whale watching.
- The high cost of living in Dana Point is primarily driven by housing, which is steeper than California state and national averages. However, other expense categories such as groceries, health care and transportation cost lower than the state average.
- Crime rate in Dana Point is 36 percent lower than the national average, where crimes in both violent and property categories occur at lower rates than California state and U.S. averages. This makes the city a relatively safer community for seniors.
- Seniors living in Dana Point can travel easily. Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) buses have fare discounts for seniors 60+, and the OCTA Senior Mobility Program offers free door-to-door transportation to Dana Point Senior Center. Free Dana Point Trolley rides during summer let seniors fully enjoy the city, and daily ferry rides to Avalon in Santa Catalina Island are provided by Catalina Express at reduced fares for passengers 55+. For non-emergency medical transportation, Age Well Senior Services caters to residents 60+.
- Home to the Festival of Whales and arguably the largest Tall Ships Festival in the West Coast, Dana Point has a thriving local arts and culture scene to revitalize seniors. An abundance of public art and yearly art shows keeps retirees visually stimulated, and seniors get ticket discounts to Dana Point Symphony concerts.
- The Dana Point area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Laguna Beach.
