Assisted Living in Anaheim
Anaheim, California is one of the few cities where residents are eagerly willing to share their living space with mice, Mickey and Minnie, the two famous citizens of Anaheim’s most visited attraction. There is a good reason why Disneyland Resort was constructed in this city – because people thrive in the sunshine, just like the citrus fruit groves that formerly covered Anaheim’s landscape.
In a city 50 square miles in size, seniors enjoying assisted living in Anaheim have plenty of space to share with 40 million annual visitors, while still living in comfort and safety.
Anaheim Recreation
Over 600 acres of space have been devoted to public parks for the enjoyment of residents of assisted living in Anaheim. For an especially natural outdoor experience, try Deer Canyon Preserve, a 103 acre wilderness area, or the Oak Canyon Nature Center.
Anaheim GardenWalk is the city’s newest outdoor shopping oasis, featuring a wide abundance of stores and restaurants, plus a large movie cinema with IMAX screens. Another exciting option for both shopping and movie-going is Downtown Disney – a magical street where your loved one will enjoy a theme park atmosphere without any expensive admission fees.
Anaheim Activities
An excursion out to enjoy Disneyland’s rides, shows and parades is an obvious entertainment choice for residents of assisted living in Anaheim, but is far from the only attraction this city has to offer.
Anaheim also sponsors two professional sporting teams – the Angels for baseball and ice hockey’s Anaheim Ducks.
Outside of the tourist melee, seniors will find relaxation and entertainment at any of the six city library branches or one of Anaheim’s three senior centers.
Anaheim Medical Facilities
The West Anaheim Medical Center is a full-service hospital providing high quality and cost-effective healthcare. The center takes pride in its community outreach programs, including ‘The Circle of Friends,’ an association described as “so exclusive, it takes 50 years to get in.”
Other top-rated area hospitals available to seniors who choose assisted living in Anaheim include Western Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente Anaheim.
Anaheim Transportation
Residents of assisted living in Anaheim can plan out their travel by visiting the website for the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), which explains both the local bus and Metrolink train services. If your loved one is not familiar with riding buses, representatives are available to provide instruction. OCTA operates an ACCESS service for riders unable to use the regular buses, and their Senior Mobility Program can also be used to fill the gap between fixed bus routes and ADA paratransit.
Another convenient transportation option is Anaheim Resort Transit (ART) system, which provides 16 interchangeable routes between the city’s top tourist attractions. Passes can be purchased in lengths of either one, three or five days.
