What to Consider About Assisted Living in Saratoga

Saratoga is a picturesque town tucked away in the trees of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Around 30,000 people call Saratoga home and around 20 percent of them are aged 65 and over and in need of an assisted living facility. These communities provide support to local seniors who may not be able to fully undertake the activities of daily living themselves.

In Saratoga, there are three of these communities, with a further 80 located nearby. Assisted living facilities in the area, much like the rest of California, are regulated and licensed by the California Department of Social Services

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Saratoga

  • Saratoga is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
  • The Saratoga has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Los Gatos.
  • Saratoga has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Joan Pisani Community Center, an organization that hosts a variety of activities for seniors to keep them active and part of the community.
  • Crime is reported at a much lower rate in Saratoga than the nationwide averages. On a scale of 1 to 100, where 1 represents the lowest crime rates, violent crime in the area scores 10.7 and property crime scores 19.2. This is considerably lower than the national averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively. As such, this area may prove to be an appealing option for seniors mindful of crime.

The city also gets 257 sunny days a year compared to the national average of 205, which may make Saratoga an appealing option. 
  • Saratoga has an average cost of living that's substantially more expensive than the national average. The fact that it's around 475 percent more expensive than the national average to live here is based almost entirely on the price of housing, which is a whopping 1520 percent more expensive than the U.S. average.
