What to Consider About Assisted Living in Haines City

Facilities are closely monitored and subjected to an annual inspection to ensure they're upholding the standards required to protect the health and safety of residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Haines City

  • The cost of living in Haines City is 8.4% below the U.S. average and 11.2% lower than the Florida norm, making it a great retirement option for budget-conscious seniors retiring to the Sunshine State. Although groceries and utilities are slightly more expensive than in other parts of the country, retirees can save on real estate, restaurants, entertainment and other services.
  • Haines City is served by the Polk County Transit bus network, with routes within the city and throughout the county. Seniors aged 65+ are eligible for discounted rates. Older adults unable to access public transportation can use Paratransit, a door-to-door service offered by a small fleet of vehicles equipped with wheelchair lifts.
  • Haines City enjoys a climate typical of Florida, with hot summers and mild winters. Summer temperatures average 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with highs around 93 degrees Fahrenheit in July. Temperatures during the winter months vary between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, so seniors can enjoy outdoor activities all year round. 
  • The city's sales tax of 7% is only slightly below the national norm of 7.3%. However, Florida doesn't charge income tax, so seniors should find their retirement income stretches further.
  • Haines City enjoys relatively low violent crime levels, ranked at 18.8 on a scale of 1 to 100, 3.9 points lower than the U.S. average. Although property crime is more common, assisted living communities typically employ additional security measures, such as gated entries and 24-hour surveillance, to keep residents safe.
  • The physician per capita rate is low in Haines City, at 128 physicians to 100,000 people compared to the U.S. average of 210. However, a number of medical facilities in the city, including American Care Haines City Medical Center and Central Florida Health Care - Haines City, look after the health and welfare of seniors.
  • As part of the Lakeland metro area, Haines City is part of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities. With help from the AARP, members work to implement and improve key services within the community to enhance the quality of life of people of all ages, including seniors.
