What to Consider About Assisted Living in Richmond
A historical city best known for its World War II efforts, Richmond, California, is home to 55 war-related industries. The city is also home to more than 10,500 seniors, some of whom may benefit from an assisted living level of care. To support those seniors, there are 10 assisted living facilities located within the city and another 17 in nearby areas including Pinole and Oakland.
In Richmond, as is the case in all of California, assisted living facilities are referred to as Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) and are overseen by The Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Richmond
- Seniors who enjoy fun in the sun might love living in Richmond. Summer temperatures reach 71 degrees and winter lows rarely drop below 43. The city gets 28 inches of rain annually, and no snow, resulting in 262 sunny days each year, 57 days more than the national average of 205.
- Richmond’s cost of living is 162.2, more than 60 points higher than the U.S. average of 100. Seniors can also expect to pay more for groceries, healthcare and transportation, which might make the area unaffordable for those with restrictive budgets.
- Richmond has high crime rates, which may concern safety-cautious seniors and their families. The city has a violent crime rate of 46 and a property crime rate of 55.1, both more than 20 points higher than the national averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively.
- California does not tax seniors on Social Security benefits, although retirement savings account income and pensions are fully taxed. Richmond seniors with tight budgets might want to keep these tax laws in mind when allocating funds for assisted living expenses.
- Richmond has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Richmond.
- Seniors with respiratory issues like COPD, asthma or lung cancer may have a difficult time living in Richmond. On a scale where 100 represents the areas with the cleanest air, the city’s air quality has a rank of 52, six points lower than the national average of 58.
