Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in San Bernardino
- San Bernardino, California usually enjoys a temperature range of 42 to 96 degrees Fahrenheit. Generally, summers tend to be clear but arid and hot, while the winters are semi-cloudy, long and cool. The weather typically is decent for people in ALFs who like to get outside.
- San Bernardino ranks very low for air quality, not just for the state, but for the entire nation. In fact, according to the American Lung Association, San Bernardino County led the country in bad ozone days (146), based on data collected 2014-2016. ALA also gives the county a grade of F for both ozone and particle pollution. This deserves consideration from anyone entering an assisted living facility who has a respiratory condition.
