  • Veterans Benefits
  • Life Insurance Policy
  • Long-Term Care Insurance
  • Reverse Mortgage

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Santa Clarita

  • Santa Clarita has been listed as an AARP Age-Friendly Community since 2019. This reflects the city’s commitment to hosting multigenerational events throughout the year and making senior-friendly modifications to local parks and recreational spaces.
  • The crime rate in Santa Clarita is relatively low compared to the national norm. On a 100-point scale, the city’s violent crime rate is 11.9 versus the national average of 22.7, while the local property crime rate is 22.2 compared to the national norm of 35.4.
  • Santa Clarita offers warm, sunny weather. The city only gets an average of 18.4 inches of rain annually compared to the national norm of 38.1. It also experiences about 280 sunny days per year, 75 more than the U.S. average. These factors earn the city a high comfort score of 8.9, more than the nationwide score of 7.8.
  • The cost of living in Santa Clarita is 47.5% higher than the national average but 1.6% lower than the state norm. Seniors may be able to offset some of these higher costs thanks to California's tax exemption for Social Security benefits.

Seniors have access to several prime medical facilities in the area, including the Kaiser Permanente Santa Clarita Medical Center, Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and Providence Holy Cross Health Care Center at Santa Clarita.
