What to Consider About Assisted Living in Bountiful

The Utah Department of Health houses the Health Facility Licensing, Certification, and Resident Assessment Bureau, which licenses and monitors assisted living facilities in Bountiful and the rest of the state. This bureau screens caregivers and enforces regulations related to building features, nutrition and medication services, care planning and staffing to promote high-quality care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bountiful

 

  • The cost of living in Bountiful is a couple of percentage points higher than the state norm and about 17% higher than the national average. While transportation, utilities and groceries all cost less here than in a typical U.S. city, housing costs are relatively high. Choosing to move into an assisted living facility as an alternative to owning a home may make living in Bountiful financially feasible for those with budgetary considerations.
  • Crime, especially violent offenses, is relatively uncommon in Bountiful, fostering the welcoming environment many seniors are seeking for retirement. On a 100-point crime index, the city rates 9.1 for violent crime, compared to the national norm of 22.7. While its property crime score is higher at 28.6, this is still low compared to the nationwide average of 35.4, providing peace of mind to active seniors.
  • As is normal for the region, Bountiful has a moderate climate with four distinct seasons, appealing to those who enjoy changing scenery throughout the year. Winter lows are around 23 degrees and summer highs are around 90 degrees, and spring and fall temperatures are generally mild. The city sees precipitation about 86 days annually, including 52 inches of snow and 22 inches of rain. To promote an active lifestyle year-round, assisted living facilities host a range of indoor and outdoor activities and events.
  • The number of physicians per capita in Bountiful is about 40% lower than national norms, with 124 doctors per 100,000 people versus 210 nationally, and health care costs exceed the national average by about 2%. Even so, the city is home to Lakeview Hospital, and many assisted living facilities have on-call physicians who provide prompt medical attention and routine care.
  • Utah is one of the few states in the nation that levy income taxes on all types of retirement income, meaning seniors in Bountiful pay state taxes on Social Security benefits, public and private pensions and withdrawals from investment accounts. However, seniors can claim a tax credit of up to $450 to reduce what they owe.
