What to Consider About Assisted Living in Moreno Valley

In cities across California, including Moreno Valley, assisted living facilities are licensed and monitored by the California Senior Care Licensing Program. This regulatory enforcement system serves to promote the health, safety and quality of life of adults in community care facilities by ensuring that the care and services they receive are consistent with statewide and national laws and regulations.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Moreno Valley

  • Compared to other cities in California, Moreno Valley offers a very affordable cost of living. While its index score of 127.5 may be higher than the U.S. national average of 100, it’s significantly lower than the California state median of 149.9. These savings may be most noticeable in terms of the city’s low grocery and health care costs.
  • California isn’t known to be very tax-friendly towards retirees. While Social Security Income is not taxed, income from retirement accounts and pensions is fully taxed. California also has some of the highest sales taxes in the U.S.
  • Moreno Valley sees low rates of violent crime, earning an index score of 16.4 out of 100, which falls below the national average of 22.7. This may offer seniors peace of mind. However, property crime rates score 44.5 compared to the U.S. average of 35.4. Fortunately, most assisted living facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art security systems.
  • Seniors without a personal vehicle may find it more difficult to get around the city, as Moreno Valley is a very car-dependent community. Measured on a scale of 1 to 100, the city receives a Walk Score of 33 and a Transit Score of 24. Many assisted living facilities offer scheduled transportation services to take seniors to appointments, shopping and errands.
  • Seniors living in Moreno Valley can look forward to warm temperatures throughout the year and 272 annual days of sunshine. Winter temperatures are typically above 38 degrees, and the area sees zero snowfall. Springtime offers the most comfortable weather, as the city can get quite hot towards the end of the summer. 
  • Despite the plethora of outdoor activities available in Moreno Valley, the air quality is quite low. The area receives an F rating from the American Lung Association for high ozone days and a failing grade in terms of its annual particle pollution.
  • Compared to other regions in California, the Moreno Valley area has a high physician-to-patient ratio. In the event of an emergency, seniors have access to several top medical facilities, including Kaiser Permanente Moreno Valley Medical Center and Riverside University Health System Medical Center.
