What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pocomoke City

Pocomoke City, a community of about 4,100 people on Maryland’s Delmarva Peninsula, has been called the “friendliest town on the Eastern Shore.” Seniors who relocate here will join the nearly 16% of residents who are 65 years of age or older.

Seniors who need help with activities of daily living can receive supervision and personalized assistance in Pocomoke City’s two assisted living communities. To ensure seniors receive the care they deserve, the Maryland Department of Health regulates the state’s assisted living facilities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pocomoke City

  • Seniors who want to spend time outside may be pleased to learn that Pocomoke City enjoys warmer weather than most parts of Maryland. During the winter, its nighttime lows are just below freezing, and the city only gets around eight inches of snow. Average summer temperatures are in the high 80s, but there are about 26 days per year with very hot temperatures in the 90s. 
  • Maryland’s tax policies earned it the number eight spot on Kiplinger’s list of the 10 least tax-friendly states for retirees. State income tax rates are high, and Worcester County levies an additional 1.75% on Pocomoke City residents. A pension exclusion of up to $30,600 is available to some seniors, which can leave more money for assisted living.
  • Pocomoke City has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Salisbury.
  • Seniors can travel throughout Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties with the Shore Transit bus service. Both fixed route and curb-to-curb services are available. Pocomoke City residents who are 62 or older can apply for a senior discount.
  • Particle pollution, a dangerous type of air pollution that can come from car exhaust, isn’t much of a problem for residents of Pocomoke City. When the American Lung Association recently ranked cities by 24-hour particle pollution, the Salisbury-Cambridge area tied for the cleanest in the country. For seniors with asthma, this is good news.
  • Seniors who are interested in Pocomoke City’s history can check out the Sturgis One Room School Museum, Costen House Museum and Delmarva Discovery Museum. Another local attraction is the historic Mar-Va Theater, which offers plays, concerts and movies.
