What to Consider About Assisted Living in Brenham

Brenham is a small town in Texas located halfway between Houston and Austin. The proximity to major city conveniences and the close-knit feel of a small town makes Brenham a cozy place to retire. There are three assisted living facilities to choose from in Brenham. The state of Texas designates two levels of assisted living. Licenses are issued according to two levels of care. The type depends on the residents' ability to evacuate without staff assistance in case of an emergency and the need for overnight care and supervision. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Brenham

  • Brenham weather is ideal for those who enjoy long, hot summers and mild winters without snow. July high temperatures average 94 degrees Fahrenheit and January lows are around 40 degrees. Those with health conditions alleviated by warm weather will find relief, but seniors who are sensitive to high heat may be uncomfortable. 

  • Brenham's air quality is rated 78, much higher than the U.S. average of 58. According to the American Lung Association, air with few particles and pollutants is beneficial for those with asthma and other respiratory conditions. 

  • The overall cost of living in Brenham is 91.8, compared to a U.S. average of 100. That puts Brenham at about 10 percent lower than the national average, with health care, grocery and housing costs all falling under the averages as well. 

  • Violent crimes in Brenham are slightly below the national average, while property crimes are a little above. Theft, including vehicle theft and burglary, comprised the rest of the reported crimes. 

  • Texas has no state income tax, meaning that retirement income and social security benefits are not subject to taxation. This means more money available for assisted living expenses. However, Texas has some of the highest rates in the nation for sales tax and property taxes. 

  • The Brenham area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Baylor, Scott and White, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
