What to Consider About Assisted Living in Orange
The city of Orange is nestled within world-famous Orange County. Seniors may appreciate the Southern California lifestyle with 42 miles of beaches, Knott’s Berry Farm and the original Disneyland Resort. Along with all of the local entertainment, seniors can choose from 18 Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) within Orange city limits, and 45 in the surrounding area. The state of California considers facilities that have at least 75 percent of residents over 60 and provide some level of assistance and supervision as Residential Care Facilities (RCFs). These facilities may assist residents with services such as medication regulation or storage and activities of daily living. The Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division (CDSS) is responsible for the licensing and regulation of these facilities.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Orange
- Orange has a great climate for seniors to enjoy. There is an average high of 85 degrees in July and a warm average low of 46 degrees in January, with zero inches of snowfall. Seniors with limited mobility can be active all year in this climate.
- Seniors may feel secure in this area due to the low crime rates. Orange has a violent crime rate of 28.4 out of 100 (1 being the safest), which is lower than the national average of 31.1. The property crime rate is at 28.4, quite a bit lower than the national average of 38.1.
- Orange County is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
- Orange County received a very poor air quality rating of F from the American Lung Association. Seniors with respiratory health concerns may experience difficulty in this area.
- Seniors looking for some wildlife entertainment can join one of the year-round tours at Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari, where the boats have underwater viewing pods that enhance the experience.
- Orange is part of the Senior Mobility Program, which is a part of the OCTA transportation bus line. It provides extra transportation services to fill the holes in public transit for doctors appointments and shopping needs.
