What to Consider About Assisted Living in Roswell

The Georgia Department Of Community Health has overall responsibility for ensuring the state’s assisted living facilities operate to a high standard. It issues licenses to those that fulfill the criteria and removes them from those that don’t. Some of the groundwork is completed by the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. However, the ombudsman has no direct authority over assisted living facilities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Roswell

  • Sperling’s Best Places calculates the average cost of living in the U.S. at 100. Roswell’s figure is 125.5, which is also above the state average of 93.4, indicating that the cost of living in the city is high. The main driver appears to be housing costs, which shouldn’t be concerning for most seniors in assisted living. Also notable are the health costs, which average 91.8, below the state and national averages.
  • To offset the high transportation costs for residents aged 60+, Fulton County helps them to travel anywhere in the county for $1 per trip. Rides are provided by Uber and Lyft and can be for any purpose. Seniors need to pay a one-off registration fee of $15 and purchase each ride by card. There’s also Transdev, a ride-share program that can take seniors to medical appointments and senior centers.
  • There are 129 Medicare-registered physicians in Roswell, in addition to five hospitals in the surrounding area. These include North Fulton Hospital and Kennestone Hospital in nearby Marietta. Seniors also have easy access to the excellent medical facilities in Atlanta, such as Emory University Hospital and St.Joseph’s Hospital, both of which are nationally ranked in a number of treatments by U.S. News & World Report.
  • The city’s rate of violent crime is 1 in 640, which is substantially better than the state average of 1 in 294. Property crime statistics of 1 in 66 also show the city to be safer than many, compared to 1 in 42 across Georgia.
  •  According to Sperling’s Best Places, Roswell’s seniors experience a better climate than most in the state. Although the average rainfall is 53 inches (the national average is 38), the city gets 221 sunny days per year (the national average is 205).
