Compared to other states across the nation, California typically has a higher cost of living. Assisted living costs are around $5,250 per month. However, many cities within the state have low healthcare and assisted living costs and a lower cost of living, including Fresno. As far as yearly income taxes go within the state, Social Security income isn’t taxed, but other withdrawals from retirement accounts are fully taxed, and additional wages are taxed as well.

To pay for assisted living, seniors typically use Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance or personal income and retirement. Personal options such as annuities, reverse mortgages and some loan types may be used, and veterans may use military benefits.
