What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pinole
Pinole is a small residential community in the grassy hills of Contra Costa County, northeast of San Francisco, just outside of Richmond. Of Pinole's 19,000 people, almost 19 percent are seniors age 65 and over. This part of the Bay Area is home to 134 assisted living facilities, where seniors who need help with activities of daily living (ADLs) get assistance from staff
Residential care facilities in Pinhole and the rest of the state are licensed through the California Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division, which inspects sites for quality of care.

- The climate in Pinole is generally mild and stable. Summer highs here average 74 degrees, with a peak in September, and winter lows average 43 degrees. Pinole gets 25 inches of rain a year, mostly in winter, though dry grass frequently burns in summer, which can cause issues for seniors with respiratory disorders.
- Pinole's cost of living is high by national standards, though it is not far off from the average for California. Across all categories of expense, Pinole is about 71 percent above the national average, while California in general is 69 percent above the national cost of living.
