What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pflugerville

Texas Health and Human Services regulates assisted living facilities in Pflugerville and the rest of Texas. It has a strict licensing process and conducts routine inspections to promote a high standard of care, and it publishes information on residents’ rights. The department also publishes information on the rules assisted living facilities must follow related to housing, staffing and care planning.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pflugerville

 

  • Because there’s no state income tax in Texas, the state is a generally affordable option for retirees who rely on income from multiple sources. Property taxes tend to be high here compared to other U.S. states, but seniors may save money on this expense by opting for assisted living over living independently.
  • Pflugerville is home to Baylor Scott and White Medical Center – Pflugerville, a full-service hospital that specializes in heart care, surgery and 24-hour emergency care. There are approximately 229 physicians per 100,000 residents in this region, which is slightly higher than the national norm of 210, and health care costs trend about 7% lower than the nationwide average. Additionally, many assisted living facilities support telemedicine services and have on-call physicians who provide routine care for residents.
  • Pflugerville is one of the most expensive places to live in Texas, making the city an impractical option for some retirees with limited financial resources. On a cost of living index set to a national norm of 100, the city scores 129.1 versus the Texas score of 94.2. Housing costs are relatively high here, which may make assisted living a budget-friendly alternative to living alone.
  • Pflugerville has a humid subtropical climate that’s characterized by mild winters and very warm summers. Over the course of the year, temperatures range from nighttime winter lows of 39 degrees Fahrenheit to daytime highs of 95 degrees in the summer, and the city gets 35 inches of rain and no snow. Fortunately, assisted living facilities have amenities such as individually controlled thermostats in residents’ rooms for year-round comfort.
  • Pflugerville is a relatively safe community with minimal crime, making it a popular retirement destination for active seniors. On a 100-point crime index, the city scores 10.7 for violent crime and 25 for property crime. By comparison, the nation’s respective scores are higher at 22.7 and 35.4. To further promote seniors’ peace of mind, many assisted living facilities have safety features, such as security gates and surveillance cameras.
