What to Consider About Assisted Living in Midland

The Texas Health and Human Services Department licenses two types of assisted living facilities in Midland, including Type A facilities for residents who don't require nighttime attendance and evacuation assistance and Type B facilities for residents with greater needs. The department also publishes information on the rules assisted living facilities follow related to care planning, staffing and building requirements.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Midland

  • Property taxes in Texas are very high, which may be a consideration for seniors who are deciding between maintaining ownership of a house or moving into an assisted living facility. However, Texas doesn’t impose a state income tax, which may help retirees maintain a comfortable standard of living on fixed incomes.
  • Midland Memorial Hospital, the only nonprofit hospital in the county, is in Midland proper. This 546-bed hospital offers state-of-the-art programs such as their Heart Institute, rehabilitation programs and Total Joint Center. Additionally, many assisted living facilities have on-call physicians and provide telemedicine services to promote access to prompt medical care.
  • The weather in Midland is typical of Texas as a whole, with daytime temperatures ranging from about 60 degrees in the winter to 95 degrees in the summer. July can be muggy, but humidity levels are low throughout the rest of the year, and the city gets about an inch of snow and 23 inches of rain annually. Assisted living facilities offer indoor and outdoor activities and amenities, helping residents stay safe and comfortable when temperatures are high.
  • Property crime is the most common type of criminal activity in Midland, but violent crime is relatively uncommon. On a 100-point scale that assigns higher ratings to cities with more crime, Midland scores 36.1 for property-related offenses. While this is high compared to the Midland Metro score of 30.5, it’s lower than the state norm of 38. The violent crime rate is considerably lower at 16.6, which is in line with the regional norm and well below the Texas score of 24.8.
  • The cost of living in Midland is about 8% lower than the national norm and a couple percentage points below the state norm, which may benefit seniors living on fixed incomes. Housing costs are a little high compared to the Texas average, but seniors may save money on housing expenses by opting for assisted living.
