4 facilities, but not cheap. Lompoc is one of the pricier markets in LA County. Safety scores trail most neighboring cities, so look closely at individual facilities.
Mostly smaller, home-like settings. Lompoc has 4 licensed assisted living facilities. The majority (3) are residential care homes with 6 beds or fewer, so if you're looking for something intimate where your parent isn't one of dozens of residents, you'll have options. There are also 1 larger community with 50+ beds if you prefer structured activities, on-site dining, and more staff on hand.
Expect to pay around $6,604/mo. That's about 24% more than the county average of $5,311/mo, so this isn't the cheapest market. Prices range from $5,263 up to $8,582 depending on the facility, room type, and level of care. 3 of 4 facilities publish pricing, which is better transparency than most areas.
