What to Consider About Assisted Living in Nacogdoches

Texas Health and Human Services licenses all assisted living facilities in Nacogdoches and the rest of Texas, providing minimum standards for housing, staffing and care services. The department licenses two types of facilities, including Type A facilities for residents who don’t need nighttime assistance or evacuation assistance in an emergency and Type B facilities for residents with more intensive needs.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Nacogdoches

  • Nacogdoches County ranks in the 25-50th percentile for health factors and outcomes, and out of the 244 counties surveyed in Texas, it comes in at 153 for overall health. The rate of premature death exceeds state and national norms by approximately 2,000 people per capita at 9,100, mainly due to high rates of cancer and heart disease, and the average life expectancy is about 3 years below state and national norms at 75.8. Fortunately, opting for assisted living promotes access to prompt medical care and oversight for seniors.  
  • Nacogdoches has two local hospitals, including Nacogdoches Medical Center on the city’s north-east side and Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital, which sits in the center of the community. Together, these hospitals have 400 inpatient beds and provide a full range of primary and specialty care services, along with community initiatives, such as educational classes, support groups and Medicare counseling.
  • The cost of living in Nacogdoches is about 9.3% below the national average, making this city a budget-friendly option for many prospective assisted living residents. Although seniors tend to spend about 5.4% more on health care expenses here than in a typical U.S. city, low housing, transportation and utility costs promote affordable assisted living expenses.
  • The AARP gives Nacogdoches a livability score of 42, putting it in the bottom half of U.S. communities for amenities and benefits for seniors. Even so, the local walkability score is a little higher than the national norm at 7.77, and assisted living facilities promote seniors’ comfort through amenities such as scheduled transportation and meal services.
  • Texas’s lack of state income taxes appeals to many seniors seeking assisted living services with fixed incomes. While the state has some of the highest property and sales taxes in the nation, choosing to live in an assisted living facility rather than living alone often lets seniors avoid these added living expenses.
  • Nacogdoches ranks as safer than just 15% of U.S. and Texas communities, and the rates of property and violent offenses are high compared to cities with similar population sizes. Fortunately, assisted living facilities promote residents’ safety through security gates and alarm systems.
