Retirees looking for a warm retirement may appreciate Lancaster’s hot summers and mild winters. There are plenty of sunny days, so seniors who enjoy the outdoors can explore the town’s 450 acres of parks. With only 156,000 residents, the town is relatively small, but as part of Los Angeles County its senior residents have access to a high number of resources and programs designed to support them as they age. Seniors receive discounts on public transport in Lancaster, so joining the community at special events such as the Poppy Festival is easy. Around 15,000 older adults have already made their home in Lancaster’s friendly neighborhoods and new seniors can join a thriving community.
To help seniors discover the most senior-friendly locations around the country, Caring.com conducted a new study, “The Best and Worst Places for Senior Living.” The Caring Senior Living Report analyzes and ranks 300 cities and 50 states on the quality of senior living in that area. The cities were graded using 46 metrics across five categories: Health Care, Senior Living & Housing, Affordability, Quality of life, and Transportation.

Albright LIFE (Living Independence for the Elderly) is a comprehensive medical services plan for qualified individuals 55 and older that removes the burden of coordinating care and support services from participants and families. Albright LIFE is dedicated to helping you meet your healthcare needs in the community rather than at a nursing home. It covers all Medicare/Medicaid covered care and services, and other services that the LIFE team of health care professionals decides are necessary to improve and maintain your health. This may include drugs, as well as any other medically necessary care, like other health provider visits, transportation, home care, hospital visits, or nursing home stays when necessary. Participants utilize LIFE’s physician and receive most health services at our LIFE Center, where they can also socialize and enjoy a hot meal. Transportation is provided. Living at home is your goal. At Albright LIFE, it’s our priority.
