What to Consider About Assisted Living in Whitehall

The area around Whitehall Township was first settled by Europeans in the 1700s. It is now a suburb of Allentown and home to around 27,500 people, with 17 percent of the population is aged 65 or over. There are two assisted living facilities in Whitehall and a further 48 in nearby communities. In Pennsylvania these facilities are known as Assisted Living Residences (ALRs) are are monitored and licensed by the Department of Human Services' Office of Long-Term Living.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Whitehall

  • Lehigh County, including Whitehall, is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.

  • Public Transport in Whitehall is provided by LANta. Seniors may be eligible to use LANtaVan which is a door-to-door service. Seniors using the LANtaVan receive an 85 percent discount on fares and ride on the fixed-route service for free.

  • The Allentown area, including Whitehall, is home to world-class medical facilities, including Lehigh Valley Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Seniors interested in arts and culture can enjoy the thriving arts scene of the Lehigh Valley. The Warner Art Glass Center in Whitehall displays glass art from around the world. Some assisted living facilities may organize trips into other parts of the valley to visit the Allentown Art Museum or see a performance at the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival.

  • The crime rate in Whitehall is 41 per 1,000 residents, one of the highest crime rates in America, and 97 percent of other Pennsylvania communities are safer. This is due to the high property crime rate. The violent crime rate is only one-third of the state average, but property crime is more than double. Seniors moving to the area may wish to take steps to protect their belongings.

  • Sperling's cost of living index sets the national average at 100, and Whitehall's cost of living is 102, making it slightly more expensive than the average. However, the overall cost of living is kept low due to low housing prices. Seniors should be aware that health care in particular is very expensive, indexed at 118 compared to the national average of 100, and this could cut into their retirement budget.
