What to Consider About Assisted Living in Elk Grove
Elk Grove was once a small farm town on the extreme southern edge of Sacramento, CA. Today, it's a major city in its own right and boasts at least 15 assisted living communities, as well as numerous 6- to 8-bed residential care facilities. These are both state regulated through the Department of Social Services Senior Care Licensing division. Though conditions at these properties vary, California's aging citizens in assisted living can generally expect room and board, round-the-clock emergency care and help from staff with the activities of daily living, such as dressing and personal care.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Elk Grove
- Elk Grove directly adjoins Sacramento shares the same weather. Daily highs in the city average 74 degrees Fahrenheit and lows average 48 degrees. Rainfall measures 18.5 inches annually.
-
Sacramento County's air quality gets an F from The American Lung Association for both ozone and particulate pollution. Though the region's air has been improving fairly steadily for over 20 years, making it a bit more comfortable for seniors with respiratory concerns.
- Elk Grove residents are part of Sacramento County's tax area, so they pay 7.75 percent sales taxes, which impacts seniors on a fixed income. California has high-income tax rates that start at 10.8 percent, but go up for singles making over $260,000 a year. Retirement income and SSI are not taxed at the state level in California, which can make a real difference for seniors on a fixed income.
- It's possible to get around Elk Grove without a private car, but the local bus system, e-Tran, mostly sticks to the major corridors, such as Big Horn and Elk Grove Blvds. Sacramento Regional Transit (RT) also provides some coverage, as well as connections to as far north as the Roseville border.
- Elk Grove has taken on some artistic airs as it has grown out of its old farm-based economy. These days, the city puts on a monthly First Friday art walk that sees local artists selling their works on the main drag in town.
- Elk Grove has several local hospitals that provide a generally high level of care. Just across the city line to the north, Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento Medical Center greets patients from a vast complex that offers world-class emergency care and excellent inpatient surgery and other services.
