San Mateo Continuing Care Retirement Communities

The Best San Mateo Assisted Living

If you're interested in retiring in California, a San Mateo assisted living facility is an excellent choice. Why? Simply, California has the largest population of seniors in the country, with 14.4% of people over the age of 65. We've compiled over 700 San Mateo assisted living options in our directory, so it's not like you'll be short on choices!

A high quality facility will always provide plenty of time off site, so you're not stuck in your room or on the premises all day. And this area is chock full of activities that are perfect for you like the Hillsdale and Bridgepointe malls, the Japanese Tea Garden, and the San Mateo Arboretum. Even going for a quick walk around the neighborhood is a great way to get exercise and some fresh air. Add social interaction to the mix and you have an ALF that actually cares about the elderly within its care.

Despite all of its benefits, this state has the highest cost for retirement care, making it out of price range of many people. San Mateo assisted living costs about $47,000 on average. The price goes up substantially if you require medical care, however. Nursing homes are very pricey here, with semi private rooms costing $97,628 and private rooms costing $108,588. It's definitely not affordable.

If none of these options work for you, we've also compiled several hospice care, in home senior care, CCRCs, senior apartments, and independent living facilities, which may offer better prices for your budget.

We know making a decision on senior care is vital for a healthy and happy retirement. Hopefully, our directory offers the information you need to make an educated decision that you can live with. And whether your experience with your chosen facility is positive or negative, please leave a review.
