What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hyattsville

The Maryland Department of Health licenses assisted living facilities in Hyattsville and the rest of the state and sets minimum standards to promote residents’ safety and well-being. All facilities in the state comply with rules for housing, staffing and care planning and are subject to initial and annual licensing procedures, as well as routine inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hyattsville

 

  • Hyattsville is part of the AARP Age-Friendly Network, meaning that its leaders have put together an action plan to move the city toward becoming a welcoming community for older adults. The city has a livability score of 58 for factors such as its high access to parks and grocery stores and age-friendly public transportation amenities.
  • There are no hospitals within Hyattsville’s limits, but UM Capital Region Medical Center and MedStar Washington Hospital Center are located within 4 miles of the city. Combined, these hospitals have nearly 1,300 beds and a diverse range of specializations, including geriatrics. To promote access to care, many assisted living facilities in the Hyattsville region provide medical concierge services and transportation for doctor’s appointments.
  • Seniors in Maryland don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits or withdrawals from their 401(k) savings accounts. Income from public and private pensions is taxable, but those aged 65 and over can claim a large deduction to reduce what they owe to the state.
  • Hyattsville has a robust public transportation system, making the region easy to navigate without relying on a private vehicle. The city is located on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s green line, which provides easy access to world-class cultural and recreational amenities. Additionally, there are over a dozen fixed bus routes throughout the city, supplementing what seniors have access to through their assisted living facilities.
  • As is typical of the Washington, DC, region, Hyattsville has a relatively high cost of living, which may be a consideration for older adults with limited budgets. On a cost of living index based on a national norm of 100, Hyattsville scores 120.8, about nine points higher than the Maryland average. Fortunately, programs such as the state-funded Senior Assisted Living Subsidy can help qualified individuals cover their care expenses.
