What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lauderhill

The Bureau of Health Facility Regulation licenses and monitors assisted living communities in Lauderhill and the rest of Florida. The agency ensures seniors receive high-quality care by performing inspections, implementing staff training standards and enforcing health and safety rules.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lauderhill

 

  • The cost of living is relatively affordable in Lauderhill. The city is about 4.6% cheaper than the national average and 7.7% cheaper than Florida's statewide norm, which may help seniors balance their budgets.
  • The total sales tax in Lauderhill is 7%, which is slightly higher than the national average of 6.44%. However, Florida doesn't have a state income tax, meaning seniors can keep more of their retirement income.
  • Health care is readily accessible in Lauderhill. The city has 6.7% more physicians per capita than the national average, and several health facilities are available nearby, including HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital and Florida Medical Center. Additionally, local health care is 4% cheaper than the national norm.
  • Summer weather in Lauderhill can be very uncomfortable. The city experiences extreme humidity in July and August, and high temperatures frequently reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit. However, Lauderhill's subtropical climate does have some perks. In the winter, low temperatures rarely drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and seniors may appreciate the region's high number of sunny days, averaging 249 annually compared to the national norm of 205. 
  • Seniors can access free transportation through Lauderhill's Community Bus Shuttle. The wheelchair-accessible shuttle operates Monday through Friday on five routes, running from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
