Senior Apartments in California

Overview of Senior Apartments in California

From old-growth Redwood forests to white sandy beaches, California has earned its nickname as The Golden State for good reason. California is home to great weather, year-round sunshine, and unmatched beauty. There are many great retirement communities in Southern California and the rest of the state. A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors can help you or your loved one find the best senior apartments in California that meet your family’s needs.

California senior apartment regulations

Each state regulates senior living communities differently. Because senior apartments are sometimes offered by assisted living communities, states may regulate senior apartments within their guidelines for assisted living. You can use APFM’s guide to assisted living regulations to learn more about access to facility records in California.

In California, senior apartments are communities geared exclusively toward residents 55+, and include amenities similar to a typical apartment complex. These communities offer older adults an easier lifestyle by taking care of tasks such as yard work and household repairs, but they typically provide limited organized social events and few additional services compared to those offered by independent or assisted living communities.

We picked this community because, others were too depressing and a lot of people in walkers and my mother is European and found it hard to connect with a lot of the residents.

For us the fact that Brookdale was so close was a major factor. We only really considered two places that were in walking distance of our house; and Brookdale Monrovia was the nicer of the two.
