What to Consider About Assisted Living in Salisbury

Salisbury is home to the year-long Rowan Arts & Ag celebration centered around the rich history of art and agriculture in the area. Seniors who enjoy enrichment in this way may want to consider living in Salisbury. For those who need help with daily tasks, there are five assisted living facilities (ALFs) in Salisbury, with 16 in the surrounding area.

ALFs, known as Adult Care Homes (ACHs) in Salisbury and the rest of North Carolina, are defined as premises that serve two or more people and provide 24-hour supervision and health services such as medication management and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). The North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation dictates the policies for these facilities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Salisbury

  • Seniors may find that saving money is easier in Salisbury due to the cost of living, which is 8.1 percent lower than the U.S. average.

  • Salisbury is a city with high crime rates that may make seniors feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Violent crime has a rating of 61 out of 100 (1 being the safest), which is almost double the national average of 31.1. Property crime is also high at 66.7, compared to the national average of 38.1.

  • Salisbury has four seasons with a mild winter that many seniors may find enjoyable. Summers hit an average high of 89 degrees in July, and winters drop to an average low of 28 degrees. With an annual snowfall of only 4 inches a year, seniors with limited mobility may experience mild difficulty.

  • The Salisbury area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Rowan Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Seniors with a respiratory illness or sensitive lungs should be able to enjoy the air in Rowan County with little difficulty. The American Lung Association gave this area a B grade for air quality.

  • Salisbury has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Rufty-Holmes Senior Center, an organization that offers fitness classes, recreational programs and financial assistance to adults 55 and up, as well as two more senior centers nearby.
