Woodland, CA, the seat of Yolo County, is a rural city about 25 minutes northwest of Sacramento and offers retirees all the same conveniences the state capital offers. Seniors make up 13.9% of Woodland's 61,000 residents, which is below the national average. The historic city offers an abundance of activities for older residents, including an opera house, festivals and trips to regional wineries.
The city's assisted living communities provide 24/7 care to seniors who need help with everyday tasks, such as dressing, but who are otherwise independent. Staff members are trained to provide sympathetic personal care services and manage programs designed to stimulate residents' minds and bodies. Rooms are either private or semiprivate with kitchenettes and ADA-compliant bathrooms, and staff handle cleaning and cooking duties, so residents can enjoy more of their retirement years. Woodland's median monthly fee is $4,950, which is above the U.S. average but more affordable than California's norm.
In this guide, readers will find an appraisal of Woodland's advantages and disadvantages and comparisons between costs for assisted living and other types of senior care. There's also information on financial options for care and a list of free and low-cost senior-friendly resources.
