What to Consider About Assisted Living in Winter Park

Assisted living facilities in Florida are regulated by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. This agency sets the standards that assisted living facilities must abide by in terms of levels of care, as well as food safety and environmental health requirements. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Winter Park

 

  • The cost of living in Winter Park is slightly above average for Florida, which is itself an expensive state compared to the U.S. average. Seniors who reside in an assisted living facility may be insulated from some of these costs because the facility's fees include room and board.
  • Florida's tax policies are friendly toward seniors. Social Security income and withdrawals from retirement accounts are untaxed. Pension income is also untaxed.
  • The air quality in Winter Park is usually moderate to good. Levels of pollution are typically low, making the city an appealing place for seniors who may be living with allergies or respiratory conditions.
  • The water quality in Winter Park is good. The water treatment plants supplying the city have been recognized by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for the quality of the water, professionalism of the staff, and ongoing maintenance of the plant.
  • Crime rates in Winter Park are 1.3 times lower than the national average. Assisted living facilities are often gated communities and have CCTV as well as staff on site, helping residents feel safe.
  • The weather in this area of Florida is often very hot and humid. Some people may find that the high temperatures in July and August send them indoors. Others may appreciate the year-round temperatures and wealth of outdoor activities in the region.
