What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cutler Bay

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration licenses and oversees all assisted living facilities in Cutler Bay. This agency enforces high standards for housing, care planning, staffing and nutrition services through an initial licensing process and on-site inspections. It also conducts background checks on prospective caregivers and follows up on reports of abuse, neglect or exploitation in residential care settings. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Cutler Bay

 

  • There are no hospitals in Cutler Bay, but there are several major medical facilities within 10 miles of the city center, including Jackson South Community Hospital in Palmetto Bay and West Kendall Baptist Hospital in Miami. Health care costs are consistent with national norms and there are about 228 doctors per capita compared to 210 nationally, supporting access to care for assisted living residents.
  • Cutler Bay is listed on the AARP Age-Friendly Network and is recognized for its efforts toward creating a comfortable, safe environment for residents of all ages. It has a livability score of 50 for its public transportation options, neighborhood amenities and high patient satisfaction rates, which may make it an attractive option for seniors seeking assisted living.
  • Because Florida doesn’t have a state income tax, seniors only pay federal taxes on retirement earnings, even if they relocated from another state. This may help some seniors afford assisted living expenses in Cutler Bay.
  • Cutler Bay’s cost of living is relatively high and may be prohibitive for some seniors considering local retirement. On a 100-point index based on U.S. norms, the city rates 125.2, about 22 points higher than the Florida score. Housing costs, transportation and groceries are more expensive here than in a typical U.S. city, but choosing residential care may give some seniors greater control over monthly living expenses.
  • Violent crime occurs at about the same rate in Cutler Bay as in the nation as a whole, but property crime is considerably more prevalent. On a 100-point scale, the city scores 20.1 for violent crime and 50.7 for property-related offenses. By comparison, the national respective norms come in at 22.7 and 35.4. Fortunately, most assisted living facilities have security features such as controlled entry and alarm systems, promoting peace of mind for seniors and their families.
  • Cutler Bay shares the region’s humid subtropical climate, which is characterized by mild, comfortable winters and very warm summers and may appeal to prospective assisted living residents sensitive to cold weather. Year-round temperatures range from 57 to 89 degrees Fahrenheit, and the city gets 58 inches of rain.
