What to Consider About Assisted Living in Loma Linda

The city of Loma Linda, California, is known for its beautiful scenery and health-conscious lifestyle, making it a great choice for active seniors. About 16.3 percent of the 23,000 residents are aged 65 or older, and residents in need of care can choose from 14 assisted living facilities in the city or an additional 60 in surrounding areas.

In Loma Linda, like the rest of California, assisted living facilities are called residential care facilities for the elderly (RFCEs), a broad designation that also includes memory care facilities and continuing care retirement communities. These facilities are regulated by the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Loma Linda

  • The overall cost of living in Loma Linda is fairly high, ranking 138 compared to the U.S. average of 100. However, most of that is due to high housing costs, which may not apply to assisted living communities. Grocery costs are about average, and health spending is significantly lower than average with a score of about 83.
  • Loma Linda has a mild climate with lots of sunshine. It receives only about 18 inches of rain in an average year and no snow, so inclement weather rarely keeps active seniors indoors. Summer days can be hot, with average temperatures in the mid-90s, and winters stay warm, with lows in the low 40s.
  • The Loma Linda area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Loma Linda University Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Seniors who do not drive can take advantage of the excellent public transportation options in the area. OmniTrans provides bus routes throughout Loma Linda and the rest of San Bernardino County. Seniors age 62 and older are eligible for discounted OmniTrans fares.
  • Loma Linda is a fairly safe community, with an overall crime rate that is 3 percent lower than the national average. Most crimes are property crimes, so seniors can generally feel safe traveling around the community. The violent crime rate is 58 percent lower than the U.S. average.
  • The air quality in Loma Linda is generally poor, which may cause problems for seniors with respiratory health concerns. It has high levels of ozone and high particle pollution, and the American Lung Association gives San Bernardino County an "F" grade.
