What to Consider About Assisted Living in Berlin

In the small town of Berlin, Maryland, located on the peninsula of Delmarva,  assisted living communities are commonly referred to as "assisted living residences" or ALRs. Within Berlin, there is one ALR and with an additional four in neighboring communities, such as Ocean City, and just across the Delaware state line in Selbyville. Room and board and varying levels of personal care and activities are provided to aging seniors at the assisted living communities. ALRs in Berlin and surrounding Maryland areas are regulated by the Maryland Department of Health and supported by the Health Facilities of Maryland.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Berlin

  • The property crime rate for Berlin is 8 percent higher than the national average, and the violent crime rate is ten percent higher than the national average. This could be a deterrent for seniors who are looking for the comfort of a low crime rate.

  • The cost of living in Berlin is 7.2 percent higher than the national average with the cost of housing being the biggest factor in the cost of living difference. The considerably higher cost of housing may be a consideration for seniors when deciding on assisted living.

  • The weather in Berlin is moderate for the United States. Although the rainfall is slightly above average for the nation, Berlin is a great place to enjoy outdoor recreational activities year-round. Located close to the Atlantic Ocean, Berlin may be appealing to seniors who enjoy the beach.

  • Berlin residents who are 65 or older can take advantage of an additional personal exemption of $1,000. Additionally, seniors may qualify for a pension exclusion that increases each year and social security benefits are not subject to Maryland state tax, leaving more money in your assisted living budget.

  • Berlin is home to world-class medical facilities, including, Atlantic General Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
