Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Powder Springs

  • Powder Springs’ average of 217 days of sunshine per year provides seniors with plenty of opportunities to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. The area’s annual 52.8 inches of rain and July and August’s heat may bring activities indoors. However, Powder Springs’ averages a mere 1.7 inches of snow annually, and its winter daytime temperatures generally hover in the 50s.

The annual Powder Springs Seafood Festival offers excellent fare and live entertainment, giving active seniors another excuse to get out and enjoy all the area has to offer.
