What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cordele

The small city of Cordele is nestled in Crisp County, about midway between Atlanta and the Florida state line, where it’s home to nearly 11,000 people. Over 13 percent of these residents are senior citizens, and for those in need of help with activities of daily living, like meals, housekeeping, bathing and medication management, there are three assisted living facilities in the Cordele area. Licensed and regulated by the Department of Community Health, these facilities ensure seniors get the help the need to maintain their quality of life. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Cordele

  • The city, which calls itself the “Watermelon Capital of the World,” hosts an annual watermelon festival. Other arts and cultural attractions include the Crisp Motorsports Park and Georgia Veterans State Park.
  • Social Security retirement benefits are exempt from income tax in Georgia. Cordele seniors may also qualify for a retirement exclusion from state income tax.
  • Cordele has a high crime rate, and it’s more dangerous than 97 percent of American cities. Residents have a one in 17 chance of becoming a victim of a crime. Seniors who are considering a move to Cordele may want to keep these figures in mind.
  • This southern community has a more comfortable year-round climate than the national average. Cordele experiences mild winters, with lows in the 30s, and an average of 0 inches of snow per year. This may be an important consideration for seniors who are relocating from colder regions.
