What to Consider About Assisted Living in Rock Springs

Rock Springs is a small city in Wyoming that's famous for the White Mountain Petroglyphs and the Flaming Gorge. It's a quintessential Western town that's home to 23,000 inhabitants, of whom 9.3% are seniors 65 or over. To accommodate those in this age range in need of help with daily tasks, there are five assisted living facilities in Rock Springs. Nearby are residences in Green River, Lander and Evanston.

Rock Springs assisted living facilities, as in the rest of Wyoming, are overseen by the Wyoming Department of Health. They provide 24-hour personal care and a range of other facilities as required by state regulations. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Rock Springs

  • Wyoming has no state income tax, so seniors in Rock Springs keep their retirement income, including Social Security retirement benefits. Property taxes and sales taxes in the Cowboy State are very low.
  • The Rock Springs area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Housing costs in Rock Springs are 20% higher than the U.S. norm and drive the city's cost of living at 105, which is on par with the state average. Seniors moving here from other states may find healthcare quite expensive at 30% above the national average and on par with the rest of the state. 
  • Rock Springs' violent crime rate is 24.5, just over the U.S. norm of 22.7, while the property crime rate of 33.4 is two points lower than the national average. Despite the average crime rates here, seniors may want to ensure the assisted living facilities they tour have the appropriate security protocols to keep residents safe.
  • The temperature range in Rock Springs is 10-86 degrees. While the city only receives 9 inches of rain annually, 41 inches of snow falls here each year, which is 13 inches higher than the national average. This may prove challenging for seniors who use walkers or wheelchairs to get around.
  • The air quality in Rock Springs is 10 points higher than the U.S. norm of 58. This could be good news for seniors with a respiratory ailment like COPD or asthma.
