What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hutchinson

The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services regulates and licenses assisted living facilities in Hutchinson and across the state. The department provides information about the state and federal regulations that communities must follow. It also has a facility directory, with location details and inspection reports, to help seniors make informed care decisions. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hutchinson

 

  • Hutchinson's cost of living falls 7.6% below the national average. It earns an AARP livability index score of 51, placing it in the top half of U.S. communities. On average, seniors pay lower prices for housing, food and transportation. Assisted living communities also provide fixed monthly rates for necessities, including housing and utilities, which may further reduce monthly expenses. 

 

  • Hutchinson has high violent and property crime rates at 4.69 and 22.22 per 1,000 residents compared to Kansas' statewide scores of 4.15 and 19.92. This places Hutchinson in the top 87% of safest U.S. neighborhoods. However, assisted living communities utilize security measures, including 24-hour video surveillance and emergency response systems, to help residents feel safer. 

 

  • Kansas is moderately tax-friendly toward seniors. It fully taxes private pension income and retirement account withdrawals but doesn't tax public pension income. The state also exempts Social Security benefits from taxation for residents earning an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less. Additionally, homeowners aged 65 and older on low incomes may qualify for Kansas Property Tax Relief for additional financial benefits.

 

  • Health care in Hutchinson costs 2.3% less than the national average. Residents have access to 173 local physicians per 100,00 people, which falls lower than the U.S. average of 210 physicians. However, the city houses Hutchinson Regional Medical Center, a community hospital offering primary care and specialty services. Some assisted living communities also provide on-site medical services or coordinate care with off-site providers. 

 

  • Hutchinson experiences hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. Average year-round temperatures fall between 22 degrees and 94 degrees Fahrenheit but rarely dip below 7 degrees or rise higher than 103 degrees. Summer presents suitable weather for outdoor recreation, with an average daily high of 83 degrees Fahrenheit. Assisted living facilities also offer indoor activities and amenities during unpleasant weather.
