What to Consider About Assisted Living in Harbor City
Harbor City is a small urban community in the larger Long Beach area, set right in the middle of a small peninsula and almost surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean. This part of Southern California is home to 469,000 people, 10.5 percent of them seniors age 65 and over, and it hosts at least 122 assisted living facilities.
Like all residential care communities in the state, Harbor City's assisted living facilities are licensed through the California Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Harbor City
- Harbor City has hot summers, when the average temperature reaches 84 degrees, but with cool sea breezes off the beach during the worst of the heat. This can take the edge off for seniors who are sensitive to high temperatures in the hottest months. Winters here average 46 degrees, and the town gets just a little over 12 inches of rain in a typical year.
- The cost of living in Harbor City is 79 percent above the national average, which is only slightly higher than California's average statewide cost of living, which is 69 percent higher than the national rate. Healthcare is relatively affordable in Harbor City, at roughly 15 percent below the national average.
- Harbor City has a relatively high crime rate in some categories of offense. Like the Long Beach community that surrounds it, Harbor City gets about 20 percent more property crimes than the national average, though violent crime here remains fairly uncommon.
-
Long Beach Transit provides regular bus routes around the area, with a couple of routes crossing through Harbor City. Seniors can ride the buses at a discount, as can students and riders with disabilities. The service also operates a Dial-a-Lift program for seniors who need scheduled rides outside of normal routes.
- The Harbor City area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and Dignity Health - St. Mary Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Harbor City is part of Los Angeles County, which 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.
