What to Consider About Assisted Living in Menlo Park
Menlo Park is home to a senior center, which provides recreational programs, cultural events and social services for the area's older adults. In Menlo Park, seniors make up for almost 14 percent of the city's population of 32,000 people.
In Menlo Park and in all of California, assisted living facilities may also be called residential care facilities for the elderly, and they are licensed and monitored through the Department of Social Services. The Menlo Park area has nearly 50 assisted living facilities, including two in the city proper.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Menlo Park
- California's sales and income tax rates are among the highest in the nation, which may be a consideration for seniors who are interested in retiring to Menlo Park. Seniors do not pay state income tax on Social Security benefits, but all other types of retirement income are fully taxable.
- The air quality in Menlo Park is good, which may benefit seniors who have conditions like COPD or heart disease. The American Lung Association gave San Mateo County, where this city is located, a B for ozone pollution and an A for 24-hour particle pollution.
- The Menlo Park area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Menlo Park Surgical Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Summers in Menlo Park are long, warm and dry, winters are short and cool, and year-round temperatures range between 43 and 77 degrees. With its mild climate, Menlo Park may be well-suited to seniors who enjoy participating in outdoor activities throughout the year.
- While Menlo Park is rated to be safer than only 31 percent of cities of all sizes across the country, when it's compared only to similarly sized cities, its crime rate is average. This may provide peace of mind for seniors who are interested in retiring to the area.
- Menlo Park's cost of living is nearly five times the national average and over 300 percent higher than the California average. Home values are roughly 12 times higher here than in the nation as a whole, and gasoline and auto insurance cost about 50 percent higher than elsewhere in the country. This may be a concern for some seniors.
