What to Consider About Assisted Living in Orange Park

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration is responsible for licensing and overseeing assisted living residences and other senior care facilities throughout Orange Park and the rest of the state. The agency provides links to health care policies and a searchable database of aged care facilities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Orange Park

  • When comparing the cost of living of Orange Park on a 100-point scale, the town rates at 97.6, which is both lower than the national average of 100 and the state average of 103.1. Transportation costs, in particular, are much cheaper, while groceries are slightly more affordable.
  • Local health care facilities are available in the town, with additional amenities accessible in Jacksonville just north. Seniors can take advantage of the short driving distance to the HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital and Naval Hospital Jacksonville.
  • The climate in Orange Park is somewhat rainy, but the region typically sees no snow. On average, 224 days of the year are sunny, and the town has a higher-than-average weather comfort score compared to the rest of the state of Florida. Winters are quite mild and tolerable for most seniors who don’t like the cold.
  • Orange County is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. This membership means the region’s leadership is committed to considering the perspectives of diverse age populations and groups when planning local amenities, health care services and town improvements.
  • Violent crime rates are only slightly higher than the state and national averages, with a rating of 27.1 on a 100-point scale, compared to 22.7 nationally. Property crime rates in Orange Park are 32.8, which is lower than the U.S. average of 35.4.
  • Throughout the year, air quality in the Jacksonville region typically rates in the good or moderate AQI categories measured by the EPA. The air quality doesn’t generally measure as unhealthy for either average or sensitive individuals, so seniors with lung conditions such as asthma may find Orange Park a comfortable place to live.
  • Florida has no state income tax. It has a slightly lower sales tax rate of 7% compared to the national average of 7.3%, which may help improve affordability.
