Assisted Living in Altadena, CA

Nestled among the mountains outside Los Angeles, Altadena is a census-designated place with a population of around 42,846 residents, 20% of whom are seniors. The city’s crime rates are relatively low compared to national figures, and while Altadena’s cost of living is quite a bit above most of the country, the county’s property tax exemptions should provide some older homeowners with a bit of relief. Being part of the L.A. metro area, Altadena’s seniors are only a short drive away from world-class shopping, dining and entertainment as well as U.C.L.A. Medical Center and other top hospitals.

Seniors who don’t require hospitalization or skilled nursing but need a bit more help than they have at home may find assisted living is the right fit. They can receive assistance taking medications, and caregivers will be available around the clock to help with activities of daily living. On average, the city’s seniors pay $5,250 a month for assisted living, the same as the statewide median.

By the end of this guide, you’ll understand how the cost of assisted living in Altadena compares with other cities. We’ve also included a list of different government agencies and programs that could help make assisted living more affordable.
