Grover Beach, CA, has spectacular ocean views and is easy to get to, as Highway 1 cuts right through it. The U.S. Census found 15% of its 12,700 residents are seniors, which, although this is below the national average, belies the city's senior-friendly advantages. The median cost of living is below the norm for California, freeing more of seniors' dollars to spend in the city's restaurants and coffee shops, and the crime rate is far below average. Those in need of medical care are well served by three hospitals, including the respected Arroyo Grande Community Hospital.

Grover Beach is served by 24 assisted living facilities delivering 24/7 care services to seniors unable to perform daily functions, such as getting in and out of bed, without support. Each provides a homelike environment for residents, which often includes three meals per day and rooms cleaned weekly. Many also include hair salons, libraries and game rooms. The median monthly fee in Grover Beach is $5,300, which is $50 above California's average and $800 more than the national average.

The SeniorScore for Grover Beach, California

SeniorScore suggests a city's likely senior-friendliness, as it's the result of analyzing 100+ data points that may impact quality of life. Grover Beach's SeniorScore of 64 is below California's average of 71 and the country's 72. Although this may appear to reflect poorly on the city, there are some evaluated data points that don't impact assisted living residents, such as high property taxes.

California's famed climate is one reason the General Quality of Life category scores the most points, with 69. The city's short commute times are another benefit, as is its low rainfall average, which typically means fewer hot and muggy days. The Recreation & Leisure category scores 58 points, losing some because of the below-average number of seniors in Grover Beach. However, those who have made it their home benefit from 13 beautiful parks, 17 golf courses, 10 malls and eight movie theaters. There are also 20 Christian churches, so worshipers are never far from their congregations.

The Health & Safety category's 55 points come from the region having three hospitals, which is generous for such a small population. Grover Beach residents typically live over 2 years longer than the average American, whose lifespan is 78.6. As is often the case with California's coastal cities, the Finances category has the lowest score. Its 47 points reflect generally higher costs but don't account for the value of its stunning views, convenient access to cities and relatively peaceful streets.
