Stockton Assisted Living Info

Stockton is one of the largest cities in the Central Valley, and the county seat of San Joaquin County. This former gold mining town enjoys traditional California summers, yet cools down during the winter months.

Stockton residents can expect a lower cost of living as compared to other large cities in the state. While still peaceful and out-of-the-way, Stockton is well-connected to the rest of California by extensive highway systems.

Stockton assisted living is the perfect way for seniors to enjoy a California climate without the bustle of big city tourism.

Stockton Recreation

Active Stockton senior living residents can experience a taste of nature while spending the day on the banks of Stockton's popular Lake McLeod, the city's link to the 1,000 miles of navigable waterways which span across the California Delta.

Enthusiasts of healthful eating will be delighted by Stockton's annual Asparagus Festival, one of San Joaquin county's biggest spring events.

Stockton Activities

Stockton seniors are provided with an abundance of services and activities through the city's four senior centers. Seniors can take classes, travel and socialize with other seniors at the Arnold Rue Center, the Oak Park Senior Center, the Stribley Center and at the soon-to-open Van Buskirk Center.

The Stockton Arena is the area's top venue for sporting events and big-name performers, but Stockton senior living residents can also view concerts, Broadway musicals and even classic movies at the Bob Hope Theatre or the Stockton Civic Center.

Stockton shopping opportunities can be found at Sherwood and Weberstown Malls, while art appreciators will enjoy The Haggin Musuem.

Stockton Medical Facilities

There are two major San Joaquin County medical facilities located within easy accessibility of Stockton assisted living residents. The non-profit, state-of-the-art Dameron Hospital exists solely to serve the healthcare needs of the community. San Joaquin General Hospital operates a string of specialty clinics to provide all types of medical assistance. In addition, Stockton is home to St. Joseph's Medical Center, which employs specialists in cardiovascular and cancer care.

Stockton Transportation

Stockton senior living residents can travel beyond the city by land or by sea from the Port of Stockton or the Stockton Metropolitan Airport.

For more localized trips, seniors receive discounted rates when riding buses operated by the San Joaquin Regional Transit District (RTD). The Metro Hopper is designed to deviate from its normal route to serve the needs of ADA certified riders. The company also offers Dial-A-Ride services for residents who cannot otherwise be accommodated. The Altamont Commuter Express train (ACE) is ideal transportation for longer trips or weekend getaways.

The dynamic city of Stockton is close to everything, yet far enough out-of-the-way to offer your senior loved one peace and tranquility in a beautiful Northern California setting. Find assisted living for your loved on by browsing our Stockton Assisted Living page.
