READ MOREField staff from the Adult and Senior Care Program perform regulatory inspections of residential care facilities for the elderly, such as assisted living facilities. This program is part of the California Department of Social Services, Senior Care Licensing Program, which is in charge of monitoring and licensing facilities in Milpitas and throughout the state.
Milpitas’ proximity to San Francisco may contribute to its higher assisted living costs. According to Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey, the average cost of assisted living in Milpitas is $6,100, which is $1,100 more than the statewide average and $1,800 higher than the national median.
