The 5 Best Memory Care Facilities in Newhall, CA for 2023

Newall is the oldest community in Santa Clarita, which is located in northern Los Angeles County, where more than 147,000 seniors have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease or another form of dementia. In Santa Clarita, there are more than 200,000 residents and over 11 percent of the population is made up of seniors age 65 or older, many of whom are living with dementia.

For those with dementia who require residential care, there is one memory care facility located in Newhall with an additional three located nearby in Santa Clarita and Valencia. These facilities, known officially as Residential Care Facilities (RCFs), often provide both memory care and assisted living services, as state provisions are similar for both levels of care. The California Department of Social Services is responsible for regulating all RCFs in the state.

• The air quality in Newhall, as well as throughout Santa Clarita and Los Angeles County, is known to be among the worst in the country. Its high levels of ozone and particle pollution can cause negative health effects to seniors, particularly those with a respiratory or cardiovascular illness.
  
• The Newhall area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those that specialize in brain health and dementia care, such as Providence Healthy & Services, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  
• Although the overall cost of living in the Newall area is nearly 65 percent above the national average, healthcare costs that are 15 percent below average make the area reasonably affordable. Families of seniors who require frequent medical attention should find that the area is budget-friendly.
  
• While the Newhall area has a considerably warm climate year round, summers can get quite hot and dry. Precipitation in the area is limited and the average high temperature in July is a scorching 93 degrees. While its a good idea to consider a memory care facility with a secure outdoor space for residents, it's wise to inquire as to whether the facility limits outdoor time during hot spells to protect the health of residents.
