Santa Rosa is the core of Wine Country and an example of California's wealthier areas, with a low population density, relaxed lifestyle and a price tag to match its beauty. The city is consistently rated highly for its quality of life – ranking 7th in WalletHub's Best Retirement Cities for this metric as of 2020 – and it also receives a better health care rank than its competing destinations.
The increased cost of living in Santa Rosa correlates with assisted living rates, and seniors can expect to pay $5,640 per month for this level of care, which is over $1,000 per month more than the California average, according to the Genworth 2019 Cost of Care Survey. However, the city is not without its perks and justifications for the cost, such as its cleaner environment which helps imbue the population with a greater longevity than the country as a whole.
The SeniorScore weighs over 100 variables to provide a fact-based overview of a city in four main categories that affect seniors at various stages. The overall Santa Rosa SeniorScore is 74%, which is just slightly higher than the national average of 72% and California's average of 71%. Santa Rosa's high cost of living and unemployment rate are partially responsible for its low overall finance score, and the city ranks much higher for its General Quality of Life and Health and Safety.
Santa Rosa receives a high Health and Safety score of 74%, and this is due in part to the 139 senior living facilities in the area. More than half of these facilities offer assisted living, which gives seniors more variety and options. The city's Health and Safety score is also elevated due to its relatively high life expectancy – 80.8 years in Santa Rosa compared to 78.6 in the U.S. overall – and for the prevalence of Medicare-registered physicians and home care services.
The General Quality of Life in Santa Rosa receives a score of 73%, which is boosted by the California climate in general and various local factors, such as the city's above average air and water quality. Public transportation is very popular and widespread in the area, although this doesn't affect a large number of seniors, and the population density is kept low by the cost of living.
The SeniorScore™ is calculated based on over 100 variables, some of which are shown below. The final score is curved based on a linear curving method. For More info visit senioradvice.com/seniorscore.
