What to Consider About Assisted Living in Saint Marys

St. Marys, which is a small city in Pleasants County, West Virginia, was established in 1849 By Alexander Creel, who believed that he had a vision of Mary as he passed the town by boat on the nearby Ohio River. Today, the city is home to over 2,000 people.

Pleasants County, the county in which St. Marys is located, has a population of about 7,500 and a sizable senior community. Here, adults over the age of 65 make up about nearly 19 percent of the population. To support seniors, Pleasants County has assisted living facilities. These facilities, which are officially called assisted living residences and residential care communities, are licensed by the Department of Health and Human Resources, Bureau for Public Health, Office of Health Facilities Licensure and Certification. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Saint Marys

  • St. Marys' overall cost of living is almost 20 percent below the national median. Seniors can expect to spend slightly less on health care expenses and about 14 percent less on transportation expenses here than elsewhere in the country.
  • On a scale of 1 to 100, with 1 representing low crime, St. Marys' property and violent crime rates are 41.5 and 44.5, compared to the U.S. averages of 38.1 and 31.1. This may be a consideration for seniors who enjoy being out alone in the city.
  • St Marys experiences warm summers with highs around 83 degrees and chilly winters with lows around 22 degrees. The city is partly cloudy throughout the year, receiving 173 sunny days annually, compared to the national average of 205 sunny days. However, the city only receives measurable precipitation 93 days out of the year, which may appeal to seniors who enjoy being active outdoors.
  • While West Virginia seniors are taxed on their Social Security benefits and other types of retirement income, there are deductions that they can claim to offset those taxes.
  • St. Marys has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Pleasants Senior Nutrition, an organization that provides seniors with hot meals five days a week, as well as one senior center.
  • The St. Marys area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Charleston.
