Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Villa Park

• The weather in Villa Park is similar to that of neighboring Yorba Linda, where hot summers give way to very mild winters. Summer highs here average 88 degrees, while winter lows average 44. Winter rain showers, which drop up to 15.5 inches a year on the area, can raise mold in the air and aggravate the asthma of some seniors.
• Villa Park's cost of living can be very high, both by national standards and the standards of California. Overall, the cost to live here is 87 percent above the national average, with the median housing price sitting above $1.3 million. Healthcare is refreshingly affordable, however, at just 98 percent the national average rate.
  
• Crime is low in Villa Park. In most nonviolent crime categories, the rate here is just one-third the national average. Violent crime is even less common, with some serious categories of crime registering zero occurrences from one year to the next.
• Public transportation in Villa Park is provided by the Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA). Disabled ride and senior discounts are available from any of the authority's public offices, though government-issues ID is required.
  
• The Villa Park area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Chapman Global Medical Center and Orange County Global Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
• Villa Park has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Villa Park Senior Mobility Program, an organization that covers up to eight round-trip rides a month for seniors age 60 and over and adults with disabilities, though proof of residence in the city is required to claim the vouchers at the City Hall on Santiago Blvd., as well as half a dozen senior centers.
