What to Consider About Assisted Living in Newark

Newark, California, located in Alameda County, was built on reclaimed swampland and named after a castle in Scotland. Today, it's home to about 42,600 people, 11 percent of whom are 65 or older. Seniors with a penchant for science can visit the Mount View Computer History Museum or one of the many nearby parks.

For seniors who need help with daily activities, the area has 85 assisted living facilities; three in Newark itself. In Newark and the rest of the state, assisted living facilities are called Residential Care Facilities (RCFs), which are monitored by the Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Newark

  • At 221, Newark's cost of living ranks more than double the national average of 100 and much higher than the California average of 168. This is driven by housing costs at 475, roughly five times the national average. Healthcare and utilities are on par with the national averages, which may benefit family members moving here to be closer to senior loved ones who are living in RCFs.
  • Violent crime in Newark is a low 14.0 compared to the U.S. average of 22.7. However, Newark's property crime of 38.4 is a bit higher than the national average of 35.4. Seniors may want to ask what security measures are in place at facilities they tour.
  • Although no snow falls in Newark, the city receives about 22 inches of rain annually, which is less than the national average of 39. The moderate climate includes an annual temperature range of 42 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit, which may benefit seniors with arthritis and other weather-sensitive health conditions.
  • Using the National Air Toxics Assessment, the EPA has assigned Newark an air quality of 61, a bit higher than the national average of 58. This rating represents respiratory illness and cancer risk due to air pollution. Seniors should breathe a bit easier here than in many U.S. cities.
  • Based on income from pensions and retirement accounts, California fully taxes seniors in Newark and the rest of the state at some of the highest income tax rates in the United States. Social Security benefits are exempt, but California is an unfriendly state for taxes. Seniors on a fixed income may be even more crunched under California's tax structure.
  • Newark has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Fremont.
