What to Consider About Assisted Living in Newnan

The Georgia Department of Community Health licenses, monitors and inspects a wide range of medical facilities and long-term care communities in Newnan and throughout the state. Its Healthcare Facility Regulation team ensures that assisted living facilities, hospitals, nursing homes and personal care homes remain compliant and up to date with Medicare and Medicaid certifications. The department also investigates complaints.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Newnan

  • Assisted living facilities typically provide their residents transportation for errands, medical appointments and other outings. However, seniors can also take advantage of Coweta County Transit’s Dial A Ride (5311) program. Fares are $3 each way, and services are available Monday through Friday from 8 p.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays. The shuttle picks up and drops off at any address in Coweta County; however, riders should call by noon to arrange a ride for the following day.
  • Newnan’s overall cost of living is 1.3% higher than the nation’s based on a 100-point cost of living index and approximately 7.9% more expensive than the average Georgia city. However, when considering specific factors, Newnan offers numerous advantages to its residents, particularly seniors. Higher than the state in each category, the area’s grocery and housing costs are significantly below the national average. Its median home cost is $270,900 compared to the nation’s average of $291,700.
  • Newnan saw a 2.9% job market increase in the last year, and Coweta County is home to nine global and corporate headquarters. With increased operations and their subsequent support services, the area’s job rate is expected to continue its upward trend over the next 10 years, contributing to a projected job growth of 47%. More jobs mean a strong economy, which helps fund and support senior resources.
  • Newnan’s crime rate is higher than the national average. Based on a 100-point crime index, the area’s property crime is 41.4 compared to the nation’s 35.4. Its violent crime score is 28, higher than the U.S.’s 22.7. However, considering that 100 represents high crime, Newnan’s rates fall far below that threshold. Seniors who choose to live in assisted living communities enjoy the added benefit of 24/7 security and surveillance.
  • Based on a comfort index of 10, with 10 being the best, Newnan’s weather rates a 6.5. Although July and August temperatures typically hover in the low 90s with high humidity, residents typically enjoy a mild climate for the balance of the year.
