Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fremont

  • California is the second most expensive state in the union, so it should be expected that the average cost of living exceeds the national average. This is true of Fremont, which has a cost of living index of 227.3. The primary driver for Fremont’s position is housing costs, which shouldn’t be of concern to seniors in assisted living facilities.
  • Most of the city’s hospitals are near Central Park and include the high-performing Washington Hospital Healthcare System and Fremont Hospital. Many of the country’s finest hospitals are also nearby, including Standford Hospital on the opposite side of the bay, ranked #12 in the country by U.S. News & World Report. There are 262 Medicare registered physicians too.
  • Property crime in Fremont is around average for the country and lower than the state average. Violent crime is much lower, at less than half the national average, which is itself below that of California. Seniors in most assisted living communities can also find comfort in knowing that their facilities have 24/7 security.
  • Fremont’s seniors experience not only one of the best climates in the country, but also the state. Temperatures range from a comfortable 42 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter months to a pleasant 77 degrees in summer. There’s no need to worry about snow-covered sidewalks and the rainfall averages at 16 inches per year, far below the national figure of 38 inches. To top it all, Fremont gets 59 more days of sunshine than the 205 experienced by the typical American city.
  • Fremont is part of the AARP Age-Friendly Network. This means that the city’s leaders have committed to ensuring public policies and initiatives take account of the needs, aspirations and wishes of its older citizens. This includes making infrastructure improvements that recognize the unique challenges of aging, such as lowering speed limits in specific areas and introducing traffic-calming measures. It also means that seniors have access to roles that can influence how their communities are managed.
