What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lawndale

Lawndale is a bustling urban community in the storied neighborhoods outside Torrance, right in the heart of South Central Los Angeles. A fully integrated city-within-a-city, Lawndale is effectively a suburb of Torrance and home to 33,000 people, 9 percent of them seniors age 65 and over.

While the Los Angeles basin is home to many residential care communities, Lawndale and its immediate surroundings host just nine assisted living facilities for local seniors. These facilities, like all residential care communities in the state, arelicensed through the California Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division.

Summer days average high temperatures of 78 degrees in Lawndale, while winter nights average 46-degree temps. The Lawndale-Torrance area gets roughly 14.5 inches of rain annually. Every year, the Santa Ana winds bring pollen and other allergens down from the Hollywood Hills, which may be an issue for some seniors with asthma or COPD.
  • The cost of living in Lawndale is high by national standards, but right in line with the cost of living in California. Lawndale seniors pay around 70 percent more for necessities than the national average, which is just one percent higher than the 69 percent extra people pay across California.

  • Crime rates in Lawndale are somewhat lower than the national average. Across all categories, Lawndale has a crime rate that's approximately 20 percent lower than similar-sized cities in America. Property crimes, such as vandalism and theft, make up the bulk of reported crimes, though.
  • Public transportation in Lawndale is provided by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro). Metro operates bus and rail lines throughout the greater Los Angeles area, with discount fares for seniors and same-day booking for dial-a-ride and disabled van services. 
  • The Lawndale area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Memorial Hospital of Gardena and College Hospital Hawthorne, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Los Angeles 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.
