What to Consider About Assisted Living in Danville

Danville is a quaint historic town in north-central Pennsylvania, surrounded by the green wooded mountains southwest of Wilkes-Barre, in rural Montour County. Danville is home to about 4,700 people, 17% percent of whom are seniors aged 65 or over.

The small town of Danville has nine assisted living facilities in operation to look after local seniors. These facilities, like all of the residential care communities in the state, are overseen by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Resources Assisted Living Residence Licensing division, which inspects and reports on residential properties.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Danville

  • The weather in Danville is highly seasonal, with balmy summers and cool winters that can be an issue for seniors who are sensitive to the cold. Summer highs in Danville average 83 degrees, while winter lows average 18. The Danville area gets 42.5 inches of rain a year.
  • The cost of living in Danville is generally lower than the cost of living nationwide. Costs for all common expenses combined are roughly 7% lower in Danville than the national average, and the median new home costs $133,500. Some expenses in Danville are higher than average.

MCT operates on weekdays only, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
