The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Clinton, MD for 2024

It’s an unincorporated city in Prince George’s County that’s home to over 38,700 residents, including more than 6,200 seniors aged 65 or older. Because it’s between southern Maryland and northern Virginia, seniors find lots to do that only requires a short trip.

Assisted living is a residential environment that provides aging adults with housing, personalized supportive care and health-related services. The goal is to provide supportive care while promoting dignity and independence in a homelike setting. The average cost of assisted living in Clinton is $6,000, which is higher than both the state and national averages.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Clinton

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene licenses assisted living programs. Licenses are based on the facility’s level of care with three distinct levels available. Most providers in the state request to be licensed at level three, which covers residents with low, moderate or high care needs.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Clinton

  • The overall cost of living in Clinton is 23% higher than the national average. However, this is partially due to housing costs being nearly 31% higher than the national average, which shouldn’t be a concern for seniors in assisted living. Health care costs are 7% lower than the national average, which can be very beneficial to seniors in Clinton, especially those requiring ongoing care.
  • Maryland doesn’t allow cities or counties to collect local sales taxes, so seniors in Clinton only pay 6% in state sales tax. Unfortunately, this still makes Maryland’s sales tax rate higher than 71.2% of other states. The state doesn’t tax groceries or prescription drugs, which can be two top expenses for seniors.
  • Retirees in Clinton don’t pay taxes on Social Security benefits and those aged 65 or older get relatively large exclusions on many other types of retirement income, including from public and private pensions, military retirement plans and 401(k)s, but not from IRAs.

  • Aging adults benefit from Clinton having a highly rated local hospital. MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center was rated high-performing in treating heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, stroke and COPD, many of which may be common in aging adults. The hospital also has an emergency department and cardiac and medical surgical ICUs.
  • Clinton’s climate includes above-average rainfall at 44 inches per year compared to the national average of 38 inches and below-average snowfall at 15 inches annually versus 28 inches nationally. July is the warmest month with an average high of about 88 degrees, which is hotter than most places in Maryland. January is the coldest month with an average low of about 26 degrees, which is also warmer than most places in the state.
