What to Consider About Assisted Living in Middletown

Middletown, Connecticut, located along the Connecticut River, began as a bustling seaport. This college town has New England charm and is home to the well-known Wesleyan University. In addition to quaint city life and large public parks, seniors in Middletown can choose from two Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs), and an additional 41 nearby. ALFs in Connecticut are unique as they are not licensed by the state. The Connecticut Health and Human Services department licenses Assisted Living Service Agencies (ALSAs) which then regulate residential facilities, referred to as Managed Residential Communities (MRCs). These communities must provide regular meals, social activities, maintenance and 24-hour security. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Middletown

  • The Middletown area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Middlesex Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. 

  • Violent crime in Middletown with a score of 12.2 out of 100 (1 being the safest) is very low compared to the national 31.1. Property crime is also below average at 32.4 compared to the nation’s 38.1 average. Seniors and their loved ones may enjoy the extra feeling of security in this area. 

  • Seniors are able to explore the downtown area, go shopping and get to appointments using MAT, the Middletown Area Transit. MAT buses are wheelchair accessible and offer steep discounts for senior riders. 

  • Seniors with limited mobility may have some trouble getting around in Middletown during winter. The average annual snowfall deposits about 35 inches. While summers are mild with an average July high of 84, January lows of 18 degrees might be too cold for some seniors. 

  • The American Lung Association gave the area of Middlesex County a failing grade of F for poor air quality. Seniors living with asthma or a respiratory illness could be adversely affected by this. 

  • Seniors on a budget may have a difficult time affording the Middletown area. The cost of living is rated at 113.6 compared to the national average of 100, making it 13 percent more expensive than the rest of the nation.
