What to Consider About Assisted Living in Walnut Creek
Part of Contra Costa County, Walnut Creek, California, is in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. There are 179 assisted living and residential care communities in Walnut Creek, CA, and the surrounding areas.. Like the city itself, these are scattered in a roughly Y-shaped pattern through the western valley of Contra Costa County, at the base of Mount Diablo. Residential care and assisted living facilities in California are regulated through the state Department of Social Services Senior Care Licensing Program; and offer 24-hour monitoring, room and board and help from staff doing the normal activities of daily living.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Walnut Creek
- Contra Costa is on the warm side of the San Francisco Bay Area, and Walnut Creek benefits from that with warm summers and very mild winters. Daytime highs in the city average 69 degrees Fahrenheit, lows average 48 degrees, and the prevailing Delta breeze brings 25 inches of rain annually off the Bay.
- The cost of living in Walnut Creek is significantly higher than the average for both California and the United States generally. Groceries, for instance, cost an average 25 percent more in Walnut Creek than nationally.
- California imposes significant taxes on its residents, as does Contra Costa County. Residents who earn income here pay 10.8 percent in state income tax, though SSI and most retirement income are exempt. Property taxes can also take a bite out of homeowners, though residents in assisted living feel the cost much less directly.
-
Crime in Walnut Creek is very low in all categories. Serious crimes fall below one-third the national average.
- Walnut Creek has the good fortune to be right on the East Bay route for Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). This network of buses and trains can carry a senior, whose Medicare card can be accepted for a senior discount pass, anywhere in the region, from Santa Cruz in the south to Sausalito in the north.
- Walnut Creek has two of the region's most prestigious hospitals. John Muir Memorial Hospital and Kaiser Permanente Walnut Creek Medical Center. Both of these providers maintain large inpatient facilities near the center of town, and both operate extensive networks of outpatient and specialty clinics throughout the area.
