What to Consider About Assisted Living in Staunton

Staunton lies nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley and was the first community in Virginia to receive a “Great American Main Street Award.” Boasting a large senior population, Staunton is home to about 25,000 residents, 20 percent of whom are age 65 and older. To accommodate seniors who may need hands-on support with the activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing, bathing, shopping and eating, Staunton offers seven assisted living communities, and seniors can choose from another 20 facilities in nearby cities, including Fishersville, Waynesboro and Stuarts Draft.

Virginia’s Department of Social Services oversees assisted living facilities (ALFs) in Staunton, as in all of the state. These non-medical residential communities provide personal and healthcare services and 24-hour supervision for four or more adults.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Staunton

  • Seniors with an interest in historical architecture may appreciate Staunton. The National Trust for Historic Preservation named the city “One of a Dozen Distinctive Destinations in the United States.” Five historic districts surround the compact downtown area that boasts over 100 shops, galleries, restaurants and the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum.
  • Staunton has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Valley Program for Aging Seniors (VPAS). In addition to activities and lunch at the Staunton Senior Center, VPAS offers health and wellness programs, outings and field trips, and transportation for seniors who can no longer drive. This makes it easy to get to doctor’s appointments, grocery shop and pick up medical prescriptions.
  • Seniors who don’t care for precipitation should know that Staunton gets, on average, 43 inches of rain and 23 inches of snow per year. Summers can be quite humid, with a July high that averages 84 degrees.
  • A violent crime rate of 13.3 in Staunton is much lower than the U.S. average of 22.7. Property crime is about average, however, with Staunton scoring a 34 on a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being high crime. 
  • The cost of living in Staunton is about 10 percent lower than the U.S. average. Seniors on tight budgets typically save money on groceries, utilities and transportation here.
  • The Staunton area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Augusta Health, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
