READ MOREAssisted living costs in Santa Ana average $5,000 per month, which is also the state average. Although each facility is unique, the fee often covers the costs of seniors’ accommodation and staff to clean their rooms, launder clothes, prepare meals and manage their medications. Other common features include organized group activities and 24-hour security. Consequently, assisted living is most suitable for seniors who retain most of their autonomy and need minimal support.
