What to Consider About Assisted Living in Orange

Orange, Texas, is the easternmost city in the state, located along the Gulf of Mexico. It's known as the home of the Stark Museum of Art, which has one of the largest collections of Western American art. The population is 19,000, with 16 percent seniors aged 65 and older. To care for these seniors, Orange has four assisted living facilities, with another 11 nearby, regulated by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. This agency designates two levels of assisted living. Residents in a Type B facility require overnight supervision and staff assistance in case of an emergency, while Type A residents are more independent and mobile. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Orange

  • Orange weather is hot and dry, with long summers and short winters. July high temperatures average 91 degrees Fahrenheit, and January lows are around 41 degrees. The breezes from the Gulf help reduce some of the effects of the heat, but seniors who are sensitive to high heat may be uncomfortable. Orange residents are also at risk during hurricane season. 

  • The South East Texas Transit agency provides door-to-door transportation for residents in Orange and the surrounding rural areas. SETT rides are arranged by appointment. Seniors and those with a qualifying disability may qualify for reduced fares. 

  • The cost of living in Orange is 78, compared to a U.S. average of 100. Housing prices are more than 60 percent less than the national average, although health care and grocery costs are on par with the U.S. average. 

  • The violent crime rate of Orange is nearly double the national average, while property crime is two-thirds higher. Seniors are advised to use caution and secure their belongings. 

  • Texas has no state income tax, meaning that retirement income and Social Security benefits are not subject to taxation. This means more money available for assisted living expenses. Seniors on a budget should be aware that Texas has some of the highest rates in the nation for sales tax and property taxes. 

  • The Orange area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Memorial Hermann Baptist Orange Hospital in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
