What to Consider About Assisted Living in Windsor

The Birthplace of Vermont, Windsor is a town of over 2,100 that's rich in history. About 11% of its residents are aged 65 and older and may benefit from the services offered at assisted living facilities. There are two types of these facilities licensed by the state to provide supportive services and care for seniors: assisted living residences (ALRs) and residential care homes (RCHs). A total of 20 are available in Windsor and its surrounding communities

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Windsor

  • Windsor has an array of community resources for seniors, including Senior Solutions, an organization that offers a variety of senior-focused resources, including information, health seminars, health and exercise programs and meal services, as well as a senior center.
  • Low crime rates may offer seniors living in Windsor a sense of safety and security. Measured out of 100, with 100 representing high crime, the town's violent crime is rated 14.3, and property crime is rated 17.2, compared to national ratings of 22.7 and 35.4 in the same categories.
  • Winters in Windsor are exceptionally cold compared to the rest of the state. Temperatures can drop below 7 degrees, compared to a seasonal average of 21.7 degrees across Vermont. These chilly conditions are accompanied by an average of 75 inches of snow which could limit the amount of time seniors are able to spend outdoors.
  • Windsor's low overall cost of living gives seniors the opportunity to save on daily living expenses and put more toward the cost of an ALR. Based on the U.S. national average of 100, the town receives an index rating of 96.9, which is also lower than the Vermont state average of 101.
  • While some exemptions may apply, the state of Vermont taxes all forms of retirement income, including Social Security retirement benefits and income, which could limit the financial resources Windsor seniors have available to cover the cost of an ALR.
  • The Windsor area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Windsor

Seniors in Windsor can obtain financial support from two Medicaid programs to help cover the cost of services at an ALR. The Choices for Care 1115 Waiver program serves people in ALRs and RCHs who need care at the level of a nursing home, and the Assistive Community Care Services (ACCS) program caters to those who require more minimal assistance. An optional state supplement (OSS) is also available to help ALR residents.
