What to Consider About Assisted Living in Burlington

Burlington is a growing metropolitan area with an average senior population of 16.6 percent, which is slightly more than the U. S. average. Seniors in the Burlington area have 57 assisted living facilities (ALFs) to choose from, including 10 in Burlington itself and another 47 in the nearby area. ALFs are defined in the state of North Carolina as premises that provide 24-hour care and health services, such as assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) and medication management. These facilities are also known as Adult Care Homes (ACHs) in Burlington and all of state and are controlled by The North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Burlington

  • Burlington seniors enjoy a cost of living that is 15.5 percent lower than the national average. This may leave more available money for assisted living costs or entertainment.

  • Seniors considering Burlington should know that the climate has four seasons, with a chilly winter. Residents can relax in the summer sun with a high average of 89 degrees in July, but they may find winters to be too cold due to the average low of 28 degrees in January.

  • The Burlington area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Alamance Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Burlington lies across the county lines of Guilford and Alamance. While Alamance air quality is not monitored, Guilford received an Ozone C grades and Particle Pollution 24-hour score of B from the American Lung Association.
