The Cost of Assisted Living in Modesto, CA and Nearby Cities
California’s inland cities are more likely to have lower assisted living costs than their coastal cousins. For example, seniors in Santa Cruz typically pay $5,550 per month for assisted living, while their peers in Vallejo and Stockton average $4,950 and $3,649, respectively. However, a coastal location isn’t the only factor as San Jose’s $6,000 average confirms.
