What to Consider About Assisted Living in Bremerton

The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, Aging and Long-Term Support Administration, licenses and regulates assisted living facilities in Bremerton and the rest of the state. It imposes a set of rules related to building requirements, care planning and staffing, and it follows up on complaints regarding substandard care and conditions.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bremerton

  • Bremerton’s overall cost of living is a little high compared to the U.S. average, with the city rating 110.6 on an index set to a national norm of 100. However, the city rates several points below the state score of 121.9, indicating that it’s an affordable place to live compared to other Washington communities. This may result in competitive assisted living prices.
  • Washington’s lack of state income taxes makes living in the state a financially viable option for many retirees. Seniors only pay federal taxes on retirement benefits and returns on investments, which may help them pay for assisted living costs in Bremerton.
  • Kitsap County, where Bremerton is located, gets a passing score for annual particle pollution levels but a failing grade for 24-hour particle pollution levels from the American Lung Association. This may negatively impact seniors’ health and comfort, particularly those managing heart and lung conditions. However, assisted living residents have access to a range of indoor amenities and activities during unsafe conditions.
  • The crime rate in Bremerton is high compared to the typical U.S. city as well as nearby communities such as Bainbridge Island, which may make residential care a preferred alternative to living alone for seniors with safety concerns. On a 100-point index, the city scores 31.8 for violent crime and 60.7 for property crime. This exceeds respective national scores of 22.7 and 35.4.
  • On a 10-point comfort index, Bremerton scores 9.3, indicating its weather is generally pleasant throughout the year. The summer months are comfortable, with high temperatures between 70-80 degrees, and winters are mild, with highs in the mid-40s to low-50s. There are few days when the humidity is noticeable, and the city gets about 49 inches of rain and just 3 inches of snow annually. This may make the city an attractive option for active seniors.

      Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Bremerton

      Non-entitlement programs to help seniors to pay for assisted living facilities are offered by Washington state through their Home and Community Based Services (HCBS). However, since this is a non-entitlement program, applicants must qualify to receive this financial aid through the Washington Medicaid COPES (Community Options Program Entry System). Once qualified, eligible applicants will have an assisted living facility of their choice at least partially paid for.
