Katella Senior Living Community
3952 Katella Ave
Los Alamitos, CA 90720
Los Alamitos offers 9 licensed senior care homes, with most being small board-and-care options under six beds. This makes it a good fit for those wanting personalized attention in a quieter setting. Housing rent here averages $2,273 a month, about 2% lower than in nearby Lakewood, which helps keep living costs manageable for families.
Most homes here are small, so families seeking larger communities with more activities should look toward Lakewood, about five miles away. The three larger facilities (25+ beds) are the exception, but most care is provided in intimate settings. This mix means you’ll find close-knit environments, though limited group options might be a consideration.
Orange County has 27 hospitals total, including 16 with emergency departments, which is helpful for broader healthcare access. The one skilled nursing home in Los Alamitos has a 3.0 Medicare rating. Families should know that while hospitals exist countywide, they’re not all close to Los Alamitos itself.
