Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in San Dimas

• San Dimas weather ranges between quite hot in the summer and relatively mild in the winter, which is common across much of Southern California. Temperatures peak at 92 degrees in the summer and drop to as low as 48 degrees in the winter. However, most months are quite temperate, so senior residents should be comfortable here.
  
  
• Air quality in San Dimas is fair throughout the year, due to a lot of pollution that comes from the surrounding city of Los Angeles and the densely populated suburbs. A lot of pollution will also be caught against the nearby mountains to the north, hurting the overall air quality, which could affect a senior resident's ability to spend a long time outside.
  
  
• The cost of living in San Dimas is quite high, due primarily to how much homes cost on average in the area, at three times the national average. However, all other aspects of life in San Dimas are below the state average and even below the national average, which means residents of assisted living facilities won't be spending much more on a daily basis.
  
  
• San Dimas is relatively safe with a crime rate well below the state and national averages. It is twenty-five percent safer than most United States cities, but still has a fair amount of crime, due to the nearby cities a short drive away. Senior residents shouldn't be concerned about crime but should be wary.
