What to Consider About Assisted Living in Seneca

Seneca, Kansas, is a historical city with a walking tour of the Main Street District where the city’s 562 seniors can hear tales of the Pony Express, the original jailhouse and the humble beginnings of the telephone and newspaper companies. For seniors who need help with daily living activities, the city is also home to two assisted living facilities.

In the state of Kansas, and in Seneca, both assisted living facilities and residential health facilities are licensed by The Secretary of Aging and Disability Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Seneca

  • Seneca’s cost of living is 84.6, slightly lower than the national average of 100. Seniors can also expect to pay less for healthcare and transportation in the city. However, groceries are slightly higher than the national average at 101.7, which is something seniors may want to keep in mind when preparing their monthly budgets.
  • Seneca has a violent crime rate of 11.3 and a property crime rate of 28, both lower than the national averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively, which could make the area more attractive to seniors wanting to retire in a safe community.
  • Seneca has good air quality which could be beneficial to area seniors with COPD or asthma. On a scale where 100 represents the areas with the best air quality, the city has a rank of 80, more than 20 points higher than the national average of 58.
  • In Kansas, both retirement savings account withdrawals and pensions are fully taxed, which could put some stress on assisted living budgets for low-income Seneca seniors.
  • The Seneca area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Nemaha Valley Community Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Residents in Seneca enjoy warm summers and cold winters where temperatures range between 88 and 15 degrees. The city gets 34 inches of rain and 19 inches of snow annually, both below the national averages of 39 and 26 inches, respectively. Despite all of the precipitation, the city still sees 214 sunny days each year, nine more than the national average of 205, which might be of interest to seniors who enjoy spending a lot of time outdoors.
