What to Consider About Assisted Living in Windsor

Windsor is a small town on the reverse slope of the Coastal Range in Northern California's Santa Rosa Wine Country. Of the 27,500 people who live in Windsor, almost 15 percent are seniors age 65 and over. This community, and the larger city of Santa Rosa just to the south of it, are home to 40 assisted living facilities, where seniors can live independently while still getting the help they need with activities of daily living.

Like all residential care communities, assisted living in Windsor is licensed through the California Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Windsor

  • Windsor's climate is warm and mild, which encourages vast fields of wildflowers, such as redwood violets, western trillium and fetid adder's tongue, to blossom year round. This can put a lot of pollen in the air and cause some discomfort for seniors with asthma. Summer highs average 83 degrees in Windsor, with average overnight lows of 37 degrees in winter. The eastern slope of the mountains where Windsor is located gets 36 inches of rain a year.
  • The cost of living in Windsor is high by national standards, but less so for California. Prices here average 78 percent higher than the typical cost of living nationwide, though healthcare can be up to 8 percent less expensive in Windsor than it is nationally.
  • Windsor's crime rate is less than half that of similar-sized cities nationwide. Violent crime is exceptionally rare, though property crimes like theft and vandalism remain an issue, mostly in neighboring Santa Rosa.
  • Sonoma County Transit operates bus service for Windsor and other nearby communities. Senior discounts are offered for riders age 60 and up. Multiple private companies offer scenic tour bus rides all around the county, including some rides that are technically wine tasting tours, but which can be used by locals for travel into and out of the shopping district in Santa Rosa.
  • The Windsor area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital and Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Windsor has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Sonoma County Area Agency on Aging (AAA), an organization that teaches caregiver classes on fall prevention and life planning, among other topics, as well as two or three senior centers.
