Situated between Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area, Davis is a welcoming community noted for its mild weather, access to health care amenities and modest crime rates. While seniors make up only 13% of the 67,000 residents, which is low compared to state and national norms, there are numerous nonprofit agencies and programs that provide supportive services, such as the local senior center and the Area Agency on Aging.
Davis is also home to several assisted living facilities, providing maintenance-free living for older adults who need a helping hand throughout the day. These facilities feature private and semiprivate housing, with many offering apartment-style units, and residents have access to services and amenities such as daily meals, recreational activities and resident-led clubs, on-site hair salons and libraries. Rates vary depending on amenities, but on average, seniors in Davis pay $4,950 per month for assisted living. This exceeds the national average of $4,500, but it’s well below the state norm of $5,250.
