What to Consider About Assisted Living in Montclair

The California Department of Social Services and the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) oversee Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) in California, which includes Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). They are highly regulated by laws and regulations and receive periodic inspections to ensure compliance.

The city enjoys few rainy days a year, with February being the wettest month, when you can expect 5 days of rain on average.
  • The rates of both violent crime and property crime are higher than the state average and the national average.
