What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fleetwood

Fleetwood, PA, is a city in the east-central portion of the state. The total estimated population is 4,087, which makes Fleetwood appealing for seniors seeking a small-town atmosphere. There are two assisted living facilities in the city limits, with 48 in nearby areas such as Blandon, Reading and Topton. Licensing for assisted living residences (ALRs) in Fleetwood and the rest of the state is handled by the Office of Long-Term Living, which is part of the Department of Aging. These facilities serve four or more residents and provide private living units; residents of assisted living communities must not be related to the operator.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fleetwood

  • Seniors in Fleetwood may feel safer knowing that the violent crime rate is only 17.2, substantially lower than the national average rate of 31.1. Property crime is lower as well, with a rate of 25.8 compared to the U.S. average of 38.1.

  • There’s no tax on Social Security or retirement income in Pennsylvania, making Fleetwood a tax-friendly city for seniors. Pension income for seniors age 60 and older also isn’t taxed.

  • Seniors who wish to use public transportation in Fleetwood can ride for free through the BARTA transit system. Routes run all over the Reading region, which includes Fleetwood, so it’s convenient for seniors to get where they need to go.

  • Fleetwood has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Reading.

  • The cost of living in Fleetwood is rated at 105.7, which is higher than the national average of 100, so seniors may pay more for monthly assisted living costs, along with things like transportation, healthcare and groceries.

  • Seniors who enjoy warm weather may not be fond of Fleetwood’s winter climate, with January lows at 20 degrees on average. Fleetwood also receives an average of 46 inches of rain yearly, which is higher than the U.S. average of 39 inches.
