Ramona Estates has a total of 60 units, all of which are Section 8 assisted living units. All units on this property are one-bedroom. To determine the value of a particular housing program, we looked at the cost of rent versus the inspection score awarded to the property during its most recent inspection. Ramona Estates scored a value rating of 3.6 out of 5, which is modestly below the average for all housing in the region. Contract rent for a studio unit at this housing program is $752 USD, which makes it an decently priced option in Los Angeles County. Note that as a Section 8 tenant, your rent will be based on your income. The unit is 10% less expensive than the fair market price of a non-Section 8 unit, although the rent a Section 8 tenant pays is dependent upon income.

Many seniors love how independent living communities reduce unwanted stress, hazards, and fatigue in their lives. Independent living communities take care of housekeeping, yard work and meals while still allowing residents personal space and the dignity of making their own choices. These communities usually provide seniors with an apartment that has a small kitchen, bathroom, living room, and one or more bedrooms. Those who want a small space may even find that some independent living communities offer studio-style apartments. Seniors can invite guests over and enjoy their rooms however they see fit.
Independent living communities often also include the following:

What Couples Should Know About Independent Living in Anaheim, CA
Located approximately 10 miles from some of the best beaches Orange County has to offer, Anaheim has plenty of attractions, green spaces and arts and culture opportunities for retiring seniors. Couples can enjoy lively dinner theater experience at venues such as Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament or spend the day strolling around the outlet malls or shopping centers like the Center Street promenade. Seniors can also visit Disneyland Park for an enjoyable day with the grandkids. This area is also part of the greater Orange County parks and recreation system, which includes a total of 39,000 acres. Couples can go for hikes or biking trips along the 230 miles of trails, and there are golf courses and tennis courts perfect for an afternoon doubles match.
The cost of living in this area is about 70% higher than the national average, but health care runs about 11% lower than the rest of the country, which can help seniors save money. The beautiful year-round weather is one of the biggest draws of Anaheim, with winter lows staying in the upper 40s and summer highs registering in the mid-80s. This area also sees 75 more sunny days on average than the rest of the United States.
Paying for Independent Living in Anaheim, CA
Seniors in Anaheim will have to pay a bit more for independent living, which could be a determining factor for those on a fixed income. While the average national cost of independent living is $2,550, the same type of care in Anaheim comes in at about $,3,150.
The annual cost of living in an independent living community can range anywhere from $12,000-$42,000, depending mostly on the amenities, room type and cost of living in the area. In addition to using personal retirement income, annuities, long-term care insurance, or cashing out an existing life insurance policy, some seniors can use Social Security funds, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments granted due to disability or low-income or HUD-provided housing assistance such as vouchers. Another route many seniors choose to fund their independent living stay is renting out or selling their homes that they won’t need once they move or taking advantage of a reverse mortgage.
Our guide provides a more in-depth look at independent living costs and solutions for those who want to learn more.
How to Choose an Independent Living Community
When choosing an independent living community, it’s best to consider many factors, including the community’s proximity to loved ones and medical care, the state of repair that the facility appears to be in, the attitude and efficiency of the staff, the cost of both rent and services, the facility’s pet policy and more.
Comparing multiple communities can help seniors and their families figure out what they value most in an independent living community. During tours of these communities, staff members should be available to answer questions. To help with the touring and comparison process, we’ve included a checklist full of pertinent questions that anyone can download and print for themselves.
Transitioning to Independent Living
Independent living communities, rather than memory care or nursing homes, are often the first place seniors move to when they realize they need a lifestyle change. The necessity of letting some possessions go and the reality of leaving a home and neighborhood after possibly decades of residence there can make transitioning to an independent living community difficult. These communities are often friendly places, but being in a new environment still initially triggers feelings of loneliness in many seniors.
Having a strategy for dealing with the challenges of moving can make the transition to an independent living community a positive experience. We’ve created a downloadable step-by-step guide for tips to making this transition as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
