What to Consider About Assisted Living in Scottdale

Scottdale, Pennsylvania, is a small borough located approximately 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. It's known for its historic architecture, beautiful trees and a friendly, small-town personality. Seniors in Scottdale are well cared for in the area's 25 assisted living residences. Two of these are located directly in Scottdale, while the remaining 23 are nearby in places such as Normalville, Greensburg and Mount Pleasant. Assisted living residences in Pennsylvania are regulated and licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Aging, Office of Long Term Living, Division of Licensing.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Scottdale

  • Scottdale has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Mount Pleasant.

  • Westmoreland Transit offers free bus service to seniors in Scottsdale and the surrounding area; however, service hours are limited to mornings and afternoons on weekdays.

  • Pennsylvania doesn't tax income from Social Security, pension or retirement accounts. Seniors living in Scottsdale can use these savings towards the cost of assisted living

The U.S. average is 205 sunny days per year and 39 inches of rain, while Scottdale only sees 164 sunny days and averages 42 inches of rain each year. Seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors or prefer warmer weather may wish to consider assisted living options elsewhere.

  • The cost of living in Scottdale is 18.9 percent lower than the U.S. average. Although this is mostly attributed to the extremely low housing costs in Scottdale, seniors will still save on other costs including healthcare. 

  • Property crimes are fairly frequent in Scottdale. For every 1,000 residents, 24.7 property crimes occur each year. By comparison, Pennsylvania's state average is only 17.43 property crimes per 1,000 residents. Seniors may feel safer in a community with lower crime rates.
