      What to Consider About Assisted Living in Brea

      In Brea, assisted living facilities are regulated through the California Department of Social Services, Senior Care Licensing Program. This department has a strict licensing process and conducts routine inspections to ensure a consistently high standard of care for residents, and it operates a complaint hotline for those who experience problems with their care.

      Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Brea

      • The air quality in the Brea region is relatively poor, which may be a consideration for some seniors who are managing certain health conditions. The American Lung Association gives the city an F for 24-hour particle pollution and ozone pollution levels. However, it gets a passing grade for annual particle pollution.
      • California taxes most types of retirement income at some of the highest income tax rates in the nation, which can impact seniors’ budgets for long-term care. However, Social Security benefits are exempt for all seniors regardless of income.
      • The Orange County Transportation Authority operates fixed-route and paratransit services in Brea and can help older adults attend personal errands and medical appointments. Those aged 60 and over are eligible for a reduced fare. To get this discount, riders must show a state-issued ID or Medicare card.
      • Brea’s overall cost of living is high even by California’s standards, which may be a consideration for some seniors with limited incomes. On a cost of living index based on national norms of 100, the city scores 168.7, about 20 points over the state score. This is primarily because of high housing costs, which seniors may be able to avoid by opting for assisted living.
      • Health care costs in Brea come in about 11% below the national norm, which may make care financially accessible to more seniors. There are no major hospitals in the city proper, but several are located within easy driving distance, including Providence St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton and Placentia-Linda Hospital in Placentia.

      Assisted Living Laws and Regulations in Brea

      Nice rooms. Great food. Caring staff. It is very beautiful. I have my aunt there, but I would not hesitate to live there myself. It's like living on a cruise ship.
