Pittsburgh is a vibrant city on the southern shore of the Suisun Bay in Central California with 78,000 residents, 13% of whom are seniors. It offers a supportive environment to its older residents through community-based transportation services and access to outstanding medical facilities, and benefits such as its low violent crime rate make it an attractive option to active retirees.
The city also has several assisted living facilities to meet seniors’ needs. These facilities are primarily for active seniors who need help with daily living activities and want a maintenance-free lifestyle. Residents have access to housekeeping, meal and maintenance services, freeing up time to pursue hobbies and interests, and individualized care plans promote their comfort and health. Along with this, many assisted living facilities have amenities, such as dog parks, general stores and fitness centers, for added convenience. On average, seniors in Pittsburg pay $4,950 per month for this level of care. This is several hundred dollars higher than the national average of $4,500 but competitive compared to the state norm of $5,250.
