What to Consider About Assisted Living in Huntington Beach

Assisted living facilities in Huntington Beach and the rest of California are governed by the state Department of Social Services. Its Senior Care Licensing Program conducts regular assessments of long-term care homes to ensure that the health and safety of residents is held at the highest priority.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Huntington Beach

  • Residents of Huntington Beach have access to health care at a lower cost than the national average. The city also has more physicians than many American cities, at 249 per 100,000 people compared to the median of 205 per 100,000.
  • The city has a high cost of living, at 83.8 points above the U.S. median of 100, with housing the most expensive factor. Fortunately for seniors, assisted living prices in the area are on par with the state average.
  • Unfortunately, the state is not very tax-friendly to retirees, as it fully taxes pensions and retirement income. However, a tax exemption is available for Social Security benefits.
  • The water quality in Huntington Beach is 10 points better than the national average of 65, which is ideal for active adults who would like to spend time on the city’s beaches and wetlands. 
  • Huntington Beach has a sunny climate that many seniors find ideal. The city gets 281 sunny days per year compared to the national average of 205, and it has no snow in the winter.
  • California is part of the AARP’s Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. This means that the state has committed to becoming friendlier to seniors by increasing public services such as transportation, recreation and education for older adults.
