Novato, California, is home to a large senior community that accounts for nearly a quarter of its residents, promoting access to community-based services and long-term care solutions for older adults. It’s a member of the AARP Age-Friendly Network for its high access to health care and range of local amenities.

Novato is a welcoming community for older adults seeking a low crime rate, comfortable weather and access to outstanding medical facilities. This city has more than double the number of doctors per capita compared to the national average, which may shorten wait times to see primary or specialty care providers. Also, Novato Community Hospital is in the city proper. While the cost of living is high, assisted living may provide a financially viable alternative to living alone for those who want to remain in the area throughout retirement.

According to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, assisted living facilities in Novato charge $6,300 per month. This is several hundred dollars higher than respective state and national norms of $6,101 and $4,500 but consistent with rates in other cities in the region, including Santa Rosa and San Francisco.
