What to Consider About Assisted Living in Brunswick

Listed as one of the best places to retire in Georgia on a budget, Brunswick is located along the southeastern coast of Georgia in an area known as the Golden Isles. While the Atlantic Ocean is the biggest attraction in the area, seniors can also find outlet malls, historical attractions and plenty of restaurants. Seniors looking for an assisted living facility in the area will find five in the area, with two located in downtown Brunswick. These facilities are regulated by the Georgia Department of Community Health and range in size from assisted living communities that serve 25 or more or personal care homes with two or more.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Brunswick

  • The Brunswick area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Southeast Georgia Health System, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Brunswick has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Coastal Georgia Area Agency on Aging, an organization that seeks to improve the lives of seniors in the area, as well as two senior centers.
  • The Glynn County Transit System provides transportation to and from medical appointments and various errands for seniors at discount fares. There are three part-time and four full-time drivers and a collection of buses, vans and sedans.
  • The violent crime rate in Brunswick is 153 percent higher than the Georgia average and 160 percent higher than the national average. The property crime rate is 58 percent higher than the Georgia average and 94 percent higher than the national average. This makes crime a major concern for seniors who live in the area.
  • Seniors on a budget may have more left after paying bills in Brunswick due to the cost of living average of 90.1. This average is lower than the state and the national average of 100.
  • Brunswick experiences hot and humid summers with highs around 92 degrees Fahrenheit and winter lows around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes the climate in Brunswick ideal for seniors who want to escape the snow and cold of the northern states.
