What to Consider About Assisted Living in Wernersville

Wernersville was once a popular stop on the train route that helped tourists get to the South Mountain Resorts area where people came to take advantage of the "healing" waters, but today, more than 2,500 residents call this place their permanent home. For those that are of retiring age, the area has 31 assisted living residences, with two in the limits of Wernersville.

In Pennsylvania, the Department of Public Welfare licenses adult care homes, and the Department of Aging licenses assisted living residences. Both of these are considered assisted living facilities in the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Wernersville

  • The American Lung Association gave Berks County, where Wernersville is located, a failing grade for ozone levels and a C grade for 24-particle pollution. This level of air quality could be an issue for some seniors and may be something they want to discuss with their healthcare providers.
  • Pennsylvania has some of the lowest tax rates when it comes to sales tax in the country. The state also doesn't tax most forms of retirement income, making it appealing to seniors looking to move into assisted living facilities in the Wernersville area.
  • The Wernersville area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Wernersville State Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Barta Bus Services are available in Wernersville to help seniors access local business and some of the surrounding area. Senior citizens ride free with the proper identification. Shared ride services may also be available.
  • Wernersville has an array of community resources for seniors, including Berks Encore, an organization that provides activities, programs and fellowship for seniors.
  • Summers in Wernersville are warm, getting into the mid 80s, but winters are cold with below-freezing temperatures quite normal. The area gets some kind of precipitation 114 days per year on average, which could be a disappointment for seniors who enjoy outdoor activities.
