Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Santa Clarita

  • The air quality in Santa Clarita is rated 65 on a scale from 1 to 100, seven index points higher than the national average. This means that Santa Clarita has better air quality than many other cities in the country and people living there run a lower risk of contracting cancer or respiratory illnesses due to air pollutants.
  • Santa Clarita has a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers. On the comfort index, it scores 8.9/10, indicating that it has many comfortable days per year, with temperatures of between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. In winter, the average lowest temperature is 46 degrees, while the summer average high is 89 degrees. Each year, the area receives 280 days of sunshine and a total rainfall of around 18 inches.
  • The crime rate in Santa Clarita is relatively low. Fewer violent crimes and property crimes are committed in this city than on average in the rest of  California and nationwide.

Los Angeles County, which includes Santa Clarita, joined the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities in 2016. The county’s action plan for improving life for its older residents include county employment for older workers through an older adult internship program, using dementia-friendly criteria when implementing new city programs and developing housing assistance for medium- and low-income seniors.
