What to Consider About Assisted Living in Washington

Washington is a small city in southern Indiana that is home to just over 12,000 people.  About 16 percent of the population is over the age of 65. When it comes to choosing an assisted living facility, seniors in Washington have limited options. The city itself is home to just three facilities, and there is only one located nearby. These facilities are officially known as Residential Care Facilities and are licensed by the Family and Social Services Agency Division of Aging. According to state law, facilities must provide at least one health-related service and two or more scheduled supportive services to five or more residents. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Washington

  • Washington has a low cost of living that is nearly 30 percent below the national average. While groceries only cost slightly less than they do in other U.S. cities, seniors can expect to spend nearly 20 percent less on health care expenses and 30 percent less on transportation costs.  

  • While the property crime rate in Washington is high compared to the national average, its rate of violent crime is considerably lower. 

  • Public bus service in Washington is provided courtesy of the Washington Transit System which operates more than two dozen routes throughout the city. Older adults who are over the age of 60 are eligible to receive a fare discount. 

  • While Indiana seniors don’t pay a tax on their Social Security benefits, they are taxed on income they receive from pensions and retirement accounts. This may affect how much they can budget for assisted living expenses.   

  • Washington has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Med X-Press, an organization that provides medical transportation services to seniors who are Medicaid recipients, as well as one senior center.    

  • The Washington area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Daviess Community Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
