What to Consider About Assisted Living in Caldwell

 

Assisted living facilities in Idaho are overseen by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. This department issues licenses to facilities and sets rules and regulations relating to admission policies, health and safety, medical care provisions and other aspects of senior care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Caldwell

 

  • Idaho is a fairly tax-friendly state for seniors. Retirement benefits are not taxed, and property and sales taxes are low. Income from 401(k)s and IRAs is taxed at the state's normal income tax level.
  • The cost of living in Caldwell is lower than in other parts of Idaho, although it is 2.8% above the national average. Grocery and transportation costs are below the national average, and health care fees are lower than the state average.
  • The climate in Caldwell is quite mild, with hot, dry summers and cold winters. Rainfall can occur throughout the year but is primarily seen in the spring. The town sees an average of 211 sunny days per year.
  • The air quality in Caldwell is usually good. This means the outside air is relatively free from particulate matter. Seniors who are living with respiratory conditions may find this beneficial, as healthy air quality may be more comfortable for them.
  • Both violent crime rates and property crime rates in Caldwell are lower than the national averages. Caldwell is considered a reasonably safe city to live in, and seniors who reside in an assisted living facility benefit from an extra layer of safety thanks to the presence of on-site staff 24 hours a day.
