Additionally, many facilities have on-site amenities such as fitness centers and hair salons, further supporting seniors' comfort and wellness.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Yucaipa

The California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, monitors and regulates assisted living facilities in Yucaipa and the rest of the state. This agency enforces guidelines related to housing, meal and medication services and care planning. It also operates a toll-free complaint hotline, which individuals can reach by calling (844) 538-8766.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Yucaipa

 

  • Seniors in Yucaipa can obtain transportation services through Golden Wheels. This program helps older adults arrange trips to local destinations such as banks, service providers, grocery stores and restaurants, supplementing the services they receive through assisted living facilities. This service is available on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • State income taxes are very high in California, which may impact Yucaipa’s affordability for older adults. However, Social Security benefits are exempt, providing significant savings for those who rely primarily on this type of income for assisted living expenses.
  • San Bernardino County, where Yucaipa is located, has very poor air quality that may impact the health and comfort of older adults. The American Lung Association gives the region the lowest ratings possible across all three metrics, including ozone pollution levels and 24-hour and annual particle pollution levels. Fortunately, assisted living facilities offer indoor activities throughout the year, helping those sensitive to environmental irritants to stay active.
  • There are several hospitals within range of Yucaipa, including Redlands Community Hospital and Riverside University Health System – Medical Center in Moreno Valley. Local health care costs trend about 17% below national norms, which may help older adults afford routine medical care.
  • Yucaipa’s climate is warm year-round, promoting an active lifestyle for retirees. The city gets just an inch of annual snowfall and 23 inches of rain, which is well below the national respective norms of 28 inches and 38 inches, and residents enjoy 283 sunny days throughout the year. Average highs are close to 100 degrees in the summer, and winter lows average 39 degrees.
  • In general, crime is less common in Yucaipa than in a typical U.S. city, making it a welcoming environment for seniors who prioritize safety. On a 100-point index, the city rates 14 for violent crime, compared to 22.7 nationally, and the property crime score is about five points below the nationwide norm of 30.6.
