What to Consider About Assisted Living in Burtonsville

Named after the area's first postmaster, Isaac Burton, in the 1850's, the census-designated place of Burtonsville is home to more than 800 people aged 65 and over. While the senior population here is relatively low, there are two assisted living facilities within the town, and 76 additional facilities located nearby. The communities are officially known as Assisted Living Programs. They are licensed by the Maryland Department of Health and divided into three different tiers: Level 1 (lowest), Level 2 and Level 3 (highest). 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Burtonsville

  • The climate in Burtonsville is close to the national averages in many categories, so seniors shouldn't expect anything too out of the ordinary in terms of weather. Summer highs reach 88 degrees and January lows drop to about 24 degrees. The city scores a comfort index rating of 52 compared to the national average of 54.
  • While Montgomery County, where Burtonsville is located, gets a passing grade for annual particle pollution, the American Lung Association gives the area a "D" for ozone pollution. High ozone days can be damaging to respiratory and cardiovascular health, so seniors in the area should check the air quality before venturing outside.
  • Due to Burtonsville's relatively high cost of living, which is 36.6% above the national average of 100, seniors can expect to pay more for assisted living than in other parts of the country.
  • As residents of Maryland, seniors in Burtonsville can benefit from some of the state's friendly tax policies. Income from social security alone is exempt from state income tax, and there is a pension exclusion that increases every year.
  • As part of Montgomery County, Burtonsville is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
  • Burtonsville has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Laurel.
