What to Consider About Assisted Living in Edenton

Edenton is a small city in Chowan County, North Carolina, near the Albemarle Sound. Of its 5,000 residents, over 1,000 are age 65 and over. Budget-conscious seniors may find this city to be a good option for assisted living, as its overall cost of living is about 12% below the national average and 8% below the statewide average. Although healthcare is relatively expensive here at 11% higher than the nationwide median, housing is about 30% cheaper, which may contribute to lower assisted living expenses. 

Assisted living facilities, or assisted living residences, as they're officially called in North Carolina, provide housing, meals and personal care services to seniors. Edenton has two assisted living facilities, both of which are governed by the North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Edenton

  • The Edenton area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Vidant Chowan Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. 
  • Seniors residing in Edenton do not pay state income tax on Social Security benefits, but all other types of retirement income are taxed at a flat rate. North Carolina's sales and property taxes are moderate, which may leave more money in the budget for assisted living.  
  • Edenton's air quality is very good, rating 80 on a 100-point scale, which is more than 20 points higher than the national average, which means seniors with respiratory conditions or cardiovascular disease can breathe easy here. 
  • Transportation services in Edenton are provided by the Inter-County Public Transportation Authority. ICPTA provides on-demand service for medical appointments both within the five-county service area, as well as out-of-town medical routes to Virginia and Greenville, making it easy for seniors who don't drive to visit their doctor's office. 
  • Edenton is a historically rich community with a variety of cultural amenities for seniors to enjoy. The Chowan Arts Council and Gallery Shop features affordable art pieces created by local and regional artists. Admission is free, and the facility is wheelchair-accessible.  
  • Edenton's crime rate is high compared to the national average, so seniors seeking assisted living here may want to ensure the facility they choose has modern security features like alarm systems. On a 100-point scale, its property crime rate is about 13 points higher than the national average at 48.9, and its violent crime rate is about 19 points higher than the national average at 41.1.
