What to Consider About Assisted Living in Osage Beach

All assisted living facilities in Osage Beach obtain licensure through the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and follow the department’s rules for operation. These rules govern the scope of services facilities provide and how many residents they accommodate, along with day-to-day activities, such as meal services, transportation and recreational programming.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Osage Beach

 

  • Missouri taxes most sources of retirement income, including money seniors get from pensions or retirement savings accounts, but it provides some deductions and credits to reduce the financial burden. It also exempts all Social Security income for retirees who earn less than $85,000 per year, making Osage Beach’s assisted living facilities more affordable for those who mainly rely on federal income.

 

  • Osage Beach scores 49 out of 100 points on the AARP Livability Index, which aligns with the average U.S. city rating of 48 points. Some of the factors that contribute to its favorability for seniors include its above-average walkability rating of 9.03 versus the national norm of 6.17, meaning seniors can access a relatively high number of destinations on foot, and its affordable housing options.

 

  • Osage Beach earns a total crime index rating of 5, meaning it has a lower crime rate than just 5% of U.S. cities. Fortunately, seniors find safe long-term care options within the city by considering southwest side neighborhoods, such as Damsel and Laguna Beach/City Center, where criminal activity considerably occurs less often.

 

  • Over the course of the year, daytime temperatures in Osage Beach range from 44 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. Skies are partly cloudy throughout all seasons and assisted living residents enjoy about 2,400 hours of annual sunshine, offering opportunities to participate in community-organized outdoor activities, such as gardening and walking clubs.

 

  • Osage Beach’s cost of living comes 10% below the national norm, promoting affordable assisted living costs and benefiting older adults seeking residential care on fixed incomes. Along with spending comparatively low rates on housing, transportation and utilities, seniors spend about 11% less on health care costs here than in typical U.S. cities.

 

  • On a 100-point air quality index, Osage Beach scores 63 points compared to the nation’s norm of 58, meaning there's a reduced risk of exposure to environmental irritants. This supports the health of seniors seeking residential long-term care, including those with heart or lung conditions.
