What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cameron

Cameron is a Missouri city that sits in both Clinton and DeKalb Counties. Dubbing itself the "Crossroads of the Nation", Cameron touts its economic growth, including increased housing for seniors and the city's capable acute care hospital.

Seniors in need of help with daily tasks in a safe, secure environment will find four assisted living facilities in the area, with two in Cameron and two nearby. Assisted living facilities in the city are licensed through the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Regulation and Licensure, Section for Long-Term Care Regulation

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Cameron

  • Cameron's senior residents will see financial savings with the city's cost of living measured at 88.9 versus the 100 national average. Although the cost of health care is 10 percent higher than the average, all other categories are lower.

  • Cameron is given a crime index score of 29, meaning it is less safe than 71 percent of United States cities. Violent crime presents a risk of 1 per 196 residents and property crime chances are 1 in 56, so seniors may want to consider taking safety precautions.

  • The climate in Cameron is somewhat cool, making the area less desirable for seniors who like the heat. Average temperatures range from a high of 87 degrees Fahrenheit in July and a low of 16 degrees Fahrenheit in January. Rainfall averages 39 inches and just 13 inches of snow each year.

  • Although there are no local transit options in Cameron, the city does offer two bus lines that take passengers to the surrounding areas. Seniors can use OATS Transit and Jefferson Lines for rides to and from nearby cities on planned routes.

  • The Cameron area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Cameron Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Missouri is not very tax-friendly for seniors and retirees. Retirement income, such as IRAs or 401(k)s are taxed at the normal rate but social security is exempt for seniors over the age of 62. Seniors may also be eligible for a property tax credit.
