What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hurricane

The West Virginia Department of Health & Human Resources, Office of Health Facility Licensure & Certification, licenses all assisted living facilities in Hurricane and the rest of the state. The department has high standards for housing, nutrition services, staffing and care planning, which it enforces through a rigorous licensing process and routine inspections. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hurricane

 

  • Hurricane supports access to health care for seniors through one local hospital, as well as doctors who have practicing privileges in local assisted living facilities. CAMC Teays Valley Hospital is a 70-bed nonprofit medical facility in the city proper with over 100 doctors specializing in fields such as cardiac care, orthopedic surgery and total joint replacement. On average, patients pay about 5% less for health care services in Hurricane than in a typical U.S. city, making the city a practical option for many prospective assisted living residents.
  • Hurricane has a comfort index rating of 8.3 out of 10, compared to the national score of 7.8, indicating that its weather is generally pleasant throughout the year. Daytime temperatures range from the 40s in the winter to the mid-80s during the summer, and the city gets about 44 inches of rain and 19 inches of snowfall. To help residents stay comfortable throughout the year, many assisted living facilities have individual climate controls in residents’ rooms.
  • Property crime occurs at roughly the same frequency in Hurricane as in the typical U.S. city, but violent crime is comparatively unusual. On a 100-point index, the city rates 36.8 for property-related offenses, compared to 35.4. nationally. However, it has a low violent crime score of 8.5, versus 22.7 nationally, which may provide peace of mind to seniors considering long-term care in this city.
  • Hurricane’s overall cost of living is about 9% below the national norm but about 10 percentage points higher than West Virginia’s average. While this may be a consideration for seniors relocating to Hurricane from other West Virginia cities, those moving from out-of-state may find relatively affordable utility, housing and transportation costs. This may make the city a financially feasible option for seniors with fixed incomes.
  • Seniors in Hurricane don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, and there’s an $8,000 deduction West Virginia seniors can claim to reduce or completely offset taxes they owe on other types of retirement income. This may help some assisted living residents in Hurricane afford their monthly care costs.
