What to Consider About Assisted Living in El Cerrito
El Cerrito is located in Contra Costa County, California and is just a short distance from some of the San Francisco area's most popular tourist attractions such as Alcatraz and Tilden Regional Park. The city is home to about 25,000 residents and nearly 20 percent of those living in El Cerrito are aged 65 or older.
Seniors who require 24-hour personal care can choose from 87 assisted living facilities in the El Cerrito area. In El Cerrito and throughout California, facilities that provide assisted living services to elderly individuals are officially known as Residential Care Facilities (RCFs), and are regulated by the California Department of Social Services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in El Cerrito
- El Cerrito has few facilities to choose from in the event of medical emergencies or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in San Francisco.
- Seniors have access to safe transit via the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system, which provides routes throughout El Cerrito and surrounding areas. Reduced fares are available to seniors.
-
Crime rates in El Cerrito are high when compared with other cities in California, with a property crime rate that's more than double the state average and a violent crime rate that's nearly 30 percent higher. Seniors and should ensure that RCFs they're considering have adequate security systems.
