What to Consider About Assisted Living in Wildomar

In Wildomar, assisted living facilities are officially called residential care facilities for the elderly, and they’re licensed through the California Department of Social Services. This department conducts regular inspections of all facilities and investigates reports regarding substandard care or conditions. It also publishes the rules it enforces related to care planning, staffing and the scope of services facilities must provide.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Wildomar

 

  • Riverside Transit Authority, which provides public transportation services in Wildomar and the surrounding region, operates a Dial-A-Ride program for older adults unable to access the fixed-route bus stops. Through this program, the bus deviates from the route up to three-quarters of a mile to pick up eligible riders. This can make the public bus service accessible to assisted living residents and provide a flexible alternative to facility-based transportation services.
  • Seniors in Wildomar pay state income taxes on most forms of retirement income at rates ranging from 1% to 12.3%, depending on their annual income. Fortunately for those considering assisted living in Wildomar, Social Security benefits aren’t taxed at the state level, and there’s a senior income tax exemption to provide some relief from high taxes.
  • Inland Valley Hospital, an acute care facility and medical center, is located in Wildomar proper and provides a full range of medical services to older adults. This city is among the most cost-effective places in the nation for medical care, which may benefit assisted living residents managing chronic health conditions. On a 100-point health cost index based on national norms, the city scores 83.5, meaning local health care expenses are about 16% lower than in the nation as a whole.
  • Wildomar’s Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers and mild winters and makes the city a favorable option for seniors who enjoy outdoor living. Year-round temperatures range from lows of 40 degrees Fahrenheit in January to highs of 95 degrees Fahrenheit in July, and the city sees about 272 sunny days annually, compared to the national average of 205. Many assisted living facilities take advantage of the city’s comfortable weather through outdoor amenities such as swimming pools, courtyards and walking paths.
  • The overall cost of living in Wildomar is higher than the national norm but lower than what’s typical for California, which may benefit prospective assisted living residents relocating here from within the state. On an index set to a national norm of 100, the city scores 131.2, which is notably lower than the state score of 149.9.
