What to Consider About Assisted Living in Riverview

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration licenses assisted living facilities in Riverview and the rest of Florida. It publishes information on the licensing requirements facilities follow related to staffing, amenities, nutrition services and recreation, and it fields and investigates reports of substandard care and living conditions.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Riverview

 

  • While the overall cost of living in Riverview is slightly higher than the national norm, it’s relatively comparable to the rest of Florida. The city rates 104 on a 100-point index based on national average living costs. By comparison, Florida’s score is 103.1. Seniors may have greater control over monthly expenses and fewer surprise bills by opting for assisted living.
  • Property and violent crime rates have historically been high in the Riverview region, but data shows a steady decline in the number of crimes per capita over the past 20 years. To help residents stay safe, local assisted living facilities provide escorted transportation services as well as security measures such as fully enclosed courtyards and alarm systems.
  • Late autumn, winter and spring are very comfortable in Riverview, with daytime temperatures typically falling between 72 and 85 degrees F. However, summer and early autumn tend to be very warm and very humid, with highs around 90 degrees F. While this may be a consideration for those sensitive to heat, many assisted living facilities provide window treatments and individual climate control in residents’ rooms to help them maintain a comfortable indoor environment.
  • St. Joseph’s Hospital – South is located in Riverview and has been nationally recognized for its exceptional care and specialty services. Health care costs such as hospitalizations come in about 4% below national norms, and there are 243 doctors per capita compared to 210 nationally, offering affordability and convenience to seniors managing ongoing conditions.  
  • Florida’s lack of state income taxes means seniors only pay federal taxes on their private and public pension benefits, withdrawals from retirement savings accounts, dividends from investments and Social Security benefits. This may help seniors afford monthly assisted living expenses.
  • The air quality in Riverview is moderate, with the American Lung Association giving the region a D for ozone pollution but a B for short-term particle pollution. While seniors may want to track high-ozone days and stay indoors as necessary, the environment is generally suitable for those with breathing and heart conditions.
