What to Consider About Assisted Living in Waynesboro

Waynesboro is located in the Shenandoah Valley at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia near the Shenandoah National Park, where visitors can enjoy hiking, stargazing, camping and interactive exhibits. The city has nearly 23,000 people, including a large senior community that makes up almost 20% of residents. 

In spite of its relatively modest population size, Waynesboro has five assisted living facilities for seniors to choose from, and there are a dozen more in neighboring cities. Like all of these facilities in Virginia, they are licensed and regulated by the Virginia Department of Social Services.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Waynesboro

  • Waynesboro has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Valley Program for Aging Services, an organization that provides case management services, recreational and social programs and transportation services for area seniors, as well as one senior center. 
  • The Waynesboro area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Fishersville.
  • Waynesboro has a vibrant arts and culture scene. The local assisted living facility may provide day trips to local points of interest like the Shenandoah Valley Arts Center, which hosts several workshops and sponsors art shows throughout the year.  
  • Waynesboro's overall crime rate is higher than that of 77% of U.S. cities and 87% of cities in Virginia. However, when compared exclusively to similarly sized cities across the country, Waynesboro's crime rate is average. Even so, seniors may want to seek out assisted living facilities that offer security features like alarm systems and surveillance cameras.  
  • Summers in Waynesboro are warm and humid. The hottest month is July, with highs averaging around 86 degrees and muggy conditions over 60% of the time. Winters are chilly, with January highs in the mid-40s. The city's climate may be a consideration for seniors who enjoy participating in outdoor activities throughout the year.  
  • Seniors in Waynesboro do not pay state income tax on their Social Security benefits. While other forms of retirement income are taxed, there is a substantial deduction to minimize this expense. This may leave more money in the budget for local assisted living expenses.
