What to Consider About Assisted Living in Bryan

In Bryan and the rest of the state, the Texas Health and Human Services department oversees assisted living regulations. It also manages licensing applications and provides seniors and their loved ones with a long-term care provider database that supplies information about assisted living facilities and other types of care by location (city, county or ZIP code) or by name.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bryan

  • Health costs in Bryan are nearly 9% lower than the national average, and three local hospitals provide high-quality health care. St. Joseph Regional Health Center offers a comprehensive range of services. As a Level II trauma center, it is the highest-level center within a nine-county area. It also includes access to a 24-hour emergency room as well as primary care and lab services.
  • The sales tax rate in Bryan is higher than the national average at 8.25%, but this is offset by the lack of a state income tax, which means that retirement income, such as Social Security benefits, will stretch far for seniors who choose to retire in Texas.
  • Seniors experience all four seasons in Bryan, with rainfall on par with the national average of 40 inches per year and no snowfall. Residents can look forward to 215 sunny days per year, 10 more than the U.S. average. While summers can be uncomfortable, with average July highs of 95 degrees compared to 85 degrees nationwide, winters are moderate, with an average January low of 38.9 degrees compared to the national average of 21.7 degrees. The most comfortable months are March, April and October, with comfort indexes of 8.8, 9.4 and 9.2 out of 10, respectively.
  • Bryan’s overall cost of living is ranked at 80.7, making it nearly 20% lower than the national average and nearly 14% lower than the Texas average. This is largely due to low housing and transportation costs, but seniors in this area also have access to groceries at nearly 7% less than the national average and health care on par with the national average.
  • Ranked on a scale from 1 to 100, both the violent and property crime rates in Bryan are slightly higher than the national average, with a score of 25.3 and 42.9, respectively. The national averages are 22.7 and 35.4, and the state averages are 24.8 and 38.0. However, many assisted living facilities offer secure premises with around-the-clock staff to keep residents and the community safe.
