Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Brandon

  • Seniors may have a hard time getting around in Brandon as the town has limited public transit. The closest public transportation hub is located in the Jackson area.

  • Seniors may appreciate Brandon’s reputation for safety. Violent crime is low with a ranking of 21.6 out of 100 (1 is the safest) compared to the U. S. average of 31.1. Property crime is very low with a score of 16.7 compared to the national 38.1 average.

  • Seniors looking to save money may be in luck in Brandon. The average cost of living there is eight percent lower than the national average, which may enable seniors to afford higher quality care. 

  • The climate in Brandon is warm in the summer, with winters that aren’t too harsh. Seniors with limited mobility can stay active year round as Brandon only receives one inch of snow annually. July averages a high of 92 degrees, while January might be chilly for some with an average 35-degree low.

  • The Brandon area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Merit Health Rankin, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • In Mississippi, retirement income is tax exempt. This means seniors on a budget have more money to spend on daily living and higher quality care.
