Assisted living and Independent Senior living in San Diego

The cost of senior living in San Diego varies depending on whether you choose independent living or need more structured support such as assisted living. According to our latest data, the average cost for independent living in California is approximately $3,400 per month.

However, the average cost in San Diego can be higher due to its location and amenities. For assisted living, the statewide average is about $5,250, but again San Diego’s rates may vary. We recommend contacting local communities directly for the most accurate pricing.

Independent living and assisted living are typically not covered under this government program; however, Medicare may pay for some covered care services that can be helpful. Because Medicare is a federal program, you can find more information about your coverage options at Medicare.gov.

Community living offers many comforts and conveniences you may not find at home. In addition to personalized care, fresh meals and housekeeping, senior living also offers daily opportunities to gather and connect.
