Paying for Memory Care in Oxnard

Note: Residential memory care is usually offered in assisted living facilities, and in general, memory care rates tend to be 20-30% higher than assisted living rates. No national database currently tracks memory care costs in the United States, so we’ve estimated the monthly memory care costs listed below by adding 25% to the rates listed in Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey.

The median monthly cost of memory care in Oxnard is $7,188, although various factors such as location and the staff-to-resident ratio affect the costs at specific facilities.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Oxnard

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Oxnard

  • Seniors in Oxnard have three hospitals to choose from, all of which have good reputations for patient care. There are also several more in the surrounding area. Oxnard’s facilities include St. John’s Regional Medical Center, which has an emergency room and is known for its stroke victim treatments, and Community Memorial Healthcare, which has a respected orthopedics department. 
  • GO ACCESS is an ADA-certified curb-to-curb paratransit program for Oxnard adults with disabilities and seniors aged 65+ unable to use the fixed-route system. It’s a shared-ride service with wheelchair-accessible vehicles and fares of $3 per one-way ride. Seniors aged 65 to 74 qualify for reduced fares on Gold Coast Transit’s fixed-route services, while those 75 and older can ride free.
  • The average cost of living in Oxnard is below average for California, although health care typically costs more in Oxnard. However, the lower cost of living may offset the higher health care costs for some seniors.
  • Oxnard is one of California’s safer cities. Violent crime is below the national average and significantly lower than the norm for the state. Property crime is above the U.S. average, but memory care facilities have substantial security and surveillance systems as part of their license conditions. The primary purpose of the systems is to ensure the safety of residents, but the systems can also deter criminals.
  • Sperling’s BestPlaces gives Oxnard an overall health cost index of 93.2, which is better than the U.S. average of 100. Oxnard’s air quality is above average, and the city is cleaning up contaminated land as part of the EPA’s Superfund program.
  • California’s climate draws many people to the state, and Oxnard’s is particularly pleasant. In January, temperatures below 46 degrees Fahrenheit are rare, while summer highs rarely exceed 73 degrees. That means seniors can enjoy relatively stable temperatures. Rainfall is about 15 inches annually, which is enough to keep the surrounding landscape green.
