What to Consider About Assisted Living in Evans

The Georgia Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division, licenses and regulates all assisted living facilities in Evans. This department conducts criminal background checks on prospective caregivers and enforces minimum licensing requirements in facilities through scheduled and unannounced inspections. It also publishes information on the rules and regulations assisted living facilities in the state follow. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Evans

 

  • The cost of living in Evans is a little high compared to state and U.S. averages, with the city rating 102.2 on an index based on a national norm of 100. Groceries, housing and utilities are all a little more expensive here than in other cities in Georgia and the nation as a whole, but assisted living’s all-inclusive pricing may make it simple to budget monthly expenses.
  • On a 100-point scale that rates cities based on crime frequency, Evans scores 15.3 for violent crime, which is several points lower than the U.S. score of 22.7. While its property crime score surpasses the national average by several points at 39.7, the rate has been dropping for the past 15 years. To promote residents’ safety, assisted living facilities provide escorted transportation and features such as security alarms.
  • Evans is one of the warmer cities in Georgia, with daytime temperatures ranging from 55 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to 92 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. The summer months tend to be very humid, and the city gets about an inch of snow and 45 inches of rain. While the city’s weather may be a consideration for those sensitive to high temperatures, assisted living facilities have indoor activities and amenities to help residents stay active throughout the year.
  • Evans supports high access to health care through a large number of doctors per capita and comparatively affordable medical costs. There are 335 physicians per 100,000 people compared to 210 nationally, and health care costs trend about 2% below the national norm, making the city a favorable option for many seniors managing health conditions. While there are no hospitals in the city proper, numerous major medical facilities are just a few miles away in Augusta, including Doctors Hospital and Trinity Hospital of Augusta.
  • Seniors in Evans don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, and those aged 65 and over can claim a deduction of up to $65,000 to reduce what they owe on other forms of retirement income. This can help some seniors afford local assisted living expenses.
