What to Consider About Assisted Living in El Dorado Hills

Assisted living facilities are regulated by the North Sacramento branch of the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD). All residential communities are licensed under the Adult and Senior Care Program, which enforces regulations to help promote and improve the health and safety of long-term care residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in El Dorado Hills

  • El Dorado Hills can be an expensive retirement destination, as the cost of living is 64.8% above the national average. This figure is impacted by high transportation and housing costs. However, homeowners looking to sell property when moving into assisted living can benefit from the average house being valued at 166% over the U.S. norm.
  • All retirement income received by El Dorado Hills' seniors is taxable under California law. However, Social Security benefits are exempt from taxation.
  • With 192 physicians per 100,000 inhabitants, El Dorado Hills has fewer physicians per capita than the national median of 210. In spite of this, seniors can be assured that their health care needs are taken care of, as the city is served by a number of clinics and hospitals offering a full range of medical services, including Sutter El Dorado Hills Walk-In Care and Mercy Medical Group Primary & Speciality Care El Dorado.
  • As with anywhere in the United States, El Dorado Hills experiences crime. However, residents can still feel safe, as crime rates are low. Violent crime is ranked 12.1 on a scale of 1 to 100, 10.7 points less than the rest of the country. Although property crime is more common and rated at 22.8, levels are still lower than the U.S. average of 35.4.
  • El Dorado Hills enjoys a pleasant climate with 250 days of sunshine annually, 45 more than the U.S. norm. Temperatures average in the 80s during the warm, dry summer months, hitting highs of 94 degrees Fahrenheit in July. Winters are chilly but comfortable, with temperatures ranging between 50 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, occasionally dropping below 40 degrees in January.
  • A good public transportation network connects residential neighborhoods with the city center, Sacramento and other nearby cities. In addition to operating the local bus service, El Dorado Transit Agency offers Dial-A-Ride, a door-to-door transportation service for seniors aged 60+ and people with disabilities. Older adults can also use the Senior Shuttle for weekly shopping trips to various locations within El Dorado County.
