What to Consider About Assisted Living in Boonsboro

Boonsboro is in north-central Maryland near the Pennsylvania border and was founded by George and William Boone who were cousins of the famous Daniel Boone. Today, the area’s senior community, consisting of 16.2% of the city’s total population, can enjoy the area parks, nature preserves and museums as they reflect on the history of their small community. Boonsboro also has two assisted living facilities to support its growing senior population, and 33 more are in the surrounding areas including Frederick, Hagerstown and Williamsport.

In Boonsboro, as is the case in all of Maryland, these facilities are referred to as assisted living programs, which are licensed by the state’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Boonsboro

  • Boonsboro’s cost of living at 114.5 is lower than the state average of 124.6 and the national average of 100. Seniors can expect to pay less for healthcare in the city. However, groceries, housing and transportation are all higher than the national average, which could increase facility costs and might be a consideration for seniors with tight budgets.
  • The low crime rates in Boonsboro might put the minds of seniors at ease, knowing that this city is a safe place to live. The city’s violent crime rate is 9.1, and the property crime rate is 15.9, both significantly lower than the respective national averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively.
  • Seniors with COPD or asthma may find that they breathe easier in Boonsboro than in other parts of the state or country. The city has an air quality rating of 72 on a scale where higher numbers equate to better air quality. This is 14 points higher than the national average of 58.
  • Maryland’s tax laws may impact how much money Boonsboro seniors can put toward their monthly budgets. The state fully taxes Social Security and private pensions. It partially taxes retirement savings account income and public pensions.
  • The Boonsboro area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Hagerstown.
  • Summers in Boonsboro have highs of 87 degrees, and winters have lows of 21. Although the city only gets 193 sunny days each year, 12 less than the national average of 205, it still leaves ample opportunity for nature-loving seniors to spend time outdoors.
