What to Consider About Assisted Living in Auburn

Auburn, Indiana, which is recognized as being the launching ground of the automobile industry in the early-1900s, is sought out for its low cost of living and its prime location near major cities such as Indianapolis, Detroit and Chicago. The city is within a day's drive to over 75 percent of the United States, making it a convenient option for seniors and their families.

To support its senior population, Auburn has one assisted living community, and there are an additional nine nearby. Auburn's assisted living facility, as well as all Indiana facilities, is licensed by the Family and Social Services Agency Division of Aging. Each facility offers at least one health-related service and two or more scheduled supportive services to at least five individuals.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Auburn

  • The cost of living in Auburn is nearly 20 percent lower than the national average, which may appeal to seniors on a budget. Seniors can also expect to spend about 20 percent less on groceries than they would elsewhere in the country and about 25 percent less on transportation and health care. 
  • Auburn experiences hot summers with highs around 84 degrees Fahrenheit and chilly, snowy winters with lows around 17 degrees. The region gets about 34 inches of annual snowfall, which is several inches more than the national average. This may be a concern for seniors who enjoy being active outdoors throughout the year.
  • Auburn seniors do not have to pay state income tax on Social Security benefits, but Indiana does tax income from pensions and retirement accounts. This may impact the amount of money available to be put toward assisted living.
  • Auburn offers a safe, small-town atmosphere with a low overall crime rate, which is about 30 percent lower than both the state and national averages. Its violent crime rate is roughly 80 percent lower than the Indiana and countrywide means, and the property crime rate is about 20 percent lower. Seniors will likely feel safe and secure living in Auburn.
  • While Auburn doesn't have a public transportation system, the DeKalb County Council on Aging provides transportation to seniors via DART Transportation. DART, which provides rides throughout the county, is a Medicaid Transportation Provider, and their vans can accommodate most wheelchairs.
  • The Auburn area is home to world-class medical facilities, including DeKalb Health, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
