The iconic city of Los Angeles is located along the Pacific coast. This diverse city is known for its year-round warm weather and beautiful ocean views. It’s home to more than 3.9 million people, and more than 12% of those residents are seniors aged 65 and older. Los Angeles features a variety of world-class healthcare facilities for those who need consistent health care, including the world-renowned Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, which offers a broad range of geriatric services.
For seniors requiring long-term residential care, nursing home care can provide them with the services they require in a secure, homelike environment. Nursing care includes 24-hour medical care, as well as help with daily tasks and housekeeping. For those who don’t require 24-hour skilled nursing but do need help with activities of daily living (ADLs), assisted living or home health care may be a more suitable long-term care option. Assisted living and home health care are both more affordable choices than nursing home care, which costs an average of $8,060 per month in Los Angeles.
This guide includes detailed information about the cost of nursing home care in Los Angeles and nearby cities, as well as information regarding financial assistance for nursing home care and free resources for seniors throughout the city.
