What to Consider About Assisted Living in Escondido
Escondido, California offers seniors so much to do from a historic downtown district to wineries and craft breweries and also a thriving arts and culture scene. If that's not enough, San Diego is 30 miles away and the Pacific Coast is only 20 minutes away.
The senior community of Escondido accounts for 11 percent of the population; they have 39 assisted living facilities within city limits and 18 in the surrounding area from which to choose. Assisted living facilities in Escondido are known as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly and are governed by The California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Escondido
- Escondido is located within San Diego County, which received poor air quality grades from the American Lung Association. With an ozone rating of F and a Particle Pollution 24-hour score of C, this city may not be well-suited for seniors with respiratory illnesses.
- San Diego County is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
- Eligible seniors in California enjoy several tax benefits such as tax-free prescription medication, property tax deferrals, and the Senior Income Tax Exemption Credit.
- While the cost of living in Escondido is 47.7 percent higher than the U. S. average, the city is among the cheaper options in the state. This may make it a better choice for seniors on a budget.
-
Crime in Escondido is close to the national average, with violent crime at 33.6, compared to the national average of 31.1. Property crime is just 0.2 points higher than the national average at 38.3.
- Due to its comfortable climate, seniors in Escondido can maintain an active lifestyle throughout the year. With highs of 88 degrees, lows of 42 degrees and 266 sunny days per year, it's an ideal place for individuals who prefer a mild climate.
