What to Consider About Assisted Living in Moscow

When the railways reached Moscow in the late 1800s the town became a popular spot for holiday-makers from New Jersey. Seniors interested in the past can still ride a historical train to the borough's Victorian-era train station.

Moscow is home to one assisted living facility, and these facilities are known as Assisted Living Residences (ALRs) in Pennsylvania. There are another 34 in nearby communities, including Scranton and Peckville, and all are licensed and monitored by the Department of Human Services' Office of Long-Term Living.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Moscow

  • Retirees in Pennsylvania don't have to pay income tax on any money received from Social Security or retirement accounts. Pensions are also exempt for people aged 60 and over. Sales tax in the state is also low leaving more money in seniors' assisted living budgets.

  • The crime rate in Moscow is only 6 per 1,000 residents, making it one of America's safest communities. The violent crime rate is half of the state average, and the property crime rate less than a quarter of Pennsylvania's average. Moscow is a good option for seniors looking for a safe place in Pennsylvania to retire as it is safer than 86 percent of the state's other communities.

  • The overall cost of living in Moscow is 99 on Sperling's index, compared to the national average of 100. Seniors can save money on groceries, which are listed at 94, six points below the U.S. average. However, the health care cost index is 109, nine points above the national average, which may impact the budget of seniors with health conditions.

  • Air quality in Lackawanna County, including Moscow, is mixed. The American Lung Association gives the county an A grade for particle pollution, but ozone pollution gets a D grade. This may be an important consideration for seniors with respiratory conditions.

  • The Moscow area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Scranton.

  • Weather in Moscow is cold, with average lows in January dipping to just 14 degrees. The borough gets 62 inches of snow each year, 36 inches more than the national average. In summer, the July high is around 79 degrees. There are only 173 days of sunshine each year, 32 less than the national average, which can be challenging for seniors who enjoy the outdoors.

Paying for Assisted Living in Moscow

Assisted Living costs in Moscow start around $0 per month on average, while the nationwide average cost of assisted living is $4,000 per month, according to the latest figures from Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey.

It’s important to note that assisted living rates in Moscow and the surrounding suburbs can vary widely based on factors such as location, the level of care needed, apartment size and the types of amenities offered at each community.
