What to Consider About Assisted Living in Florence

Florence Township is located in Burlington County, New Jersey, just south of Trenton.  Scenic walking and sandy beaches along the Delaware River may be enjoyable for seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors. Out of the population of 12,000, over 21.8 are over 62. They can select from 11 assisted living facilities in Burlington County, all of which are licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health. To be designated as an assisted living type of facility, staff must be on hand 24 hours a day and the campus must be designed to allow aging in place.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Florence

  • Weather in Florence Township is characterized by four distinct seasons, with cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers.  Average high temperatures in July are 87 degrees Fahrenheit, while January lows average around 24 degrees Fahrenheit. Seniors sensitive to the cold may be uncomfortable in the winter. 

  • Cost of living in Florence is 125, compared to the U.S. average of 100. Housing costs, at 155 compared to the base of 100, raise the average cost of living. This may affect assisted living fees. Grocery and health care costs are closer to the national average, coming at 100.1 and 94, respectively. 

  • Crime in the U.S. is rated on a scale of 1 to 100, 1 being the safest. Florence Township is quite safe, with a violent crime rate of 11.0 to the U.S. average of 31.1. Property crimes are 20.8, compared to the national average of 38.1. Seniors are advised to take precautions when traveling to Trenton or Philadelphia, however.

  • Florence is serviced by the Southern New Jersey Light Rail Transit System, fixed bus routes called the River Line. Seniors and those with a qualifying disability are eligible for reduced fares. 

  • The Florence area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Virtua Memorial Hospital and Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • New Jersey senior citizens are eligible for a property tax freeze, which locks in their tax rates at a certain point. Florence property owners may find this beneficial as they contemplate transitioning into assisted living.
