What to Consider About Assisted Living in Moraga

The California Department of Social Services’ Senior Licensing Division oversees assisted living facilities in Moraga, as well as the rest of California. This division conducts annual inspections, investigates complaints from residents and visitors and requires facilities to undergo an annual licensing process to ensure a high standard of care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Moraga

 

  • While Moraga lacks its own hospital, its proximity to Walnut Creek and Berkeley gives assisted living residents access to medical services in hospitals such as Kaiser Permanente Walnut Creek Medical Center and Alta Bates Summit Medical Center. Both hospitals sit within 8 miles of Moraga’s center and provide diverse inpatient, outpatient and emergency services. To improve access to care, many assisted living facilities have on-site medical concierge services and nonemergency medical transportation.

 

  • When looking at general health compared to California as a whole, Contra Costa County, where Moraga sits, ranks 12th out of 58 counties. Its average life expectancy of 82.2 years outpaces state and national norms, pointing to effective medical support for seniors, and the ratio of primary care physicians to residents comes in at 1:970 compared to the national average of 1:1,310.

 

  • Moraga ranks among the more expensive places to live in the United States, featuring a cost of living that exceeds the national norm by 67%. Housing and utilities track about 45% over the nationwide average, impacting access to affordable assisted living. Fortunately, some facilities in or near Moraga accept the state’s Assisted Living Waiver, which can bring down care-related costs for those who qualify for assistance.

 

  • Moraga has mild weather throughout the year with daytime temperatures ranging from 57 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to 83 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, making it one of California’s cooler cities. The city rarely sees measurable snowfall or noticeable humidity, and it gets just 24 inches of annual rainfall, appealing to older adults who enjoy outdoor activities.

 

  • Moraga scores 40 points on a 100-point total crime index, meaning that 60% of U.S. neighborhoods have less crime than this community. However, the city’s crime rate runs very low compared to similarly sized cities, with officials reporting just 12 crimes per 1,000 people in a given year. Residents only have a 1 in 539 chance of becoming victims of violent offenses versus the state rate of 1 in 200, which may provide peace of mind to those considering local assisted living communities for long-term care needs.
