What to Consider About Assisted Living in Dover

Dover is a suburb of Tampa that's home to around 3,700 people. It has a relatively small senior population with only 8 percent of residents aged 65 and older. Dover seniors can find accommodation in one of the area's 36 assisted living facilities, which are monitored by Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration. Standard or Specialty licenses are available to facilities depending on the type of care they provide.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Dover

  • The air quality in Hillsborough County, including Dover, is mixed. The State of the Air 2018 report gave the city a failing grade for ozone pollution and an A grade for 24-hour particle pollution. High ozone pollution levels may impact the health of seniors with respiratory conditions.
  • Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority (HART) runs a bus service between Dover and Brandon, which connects to other buses in the county. Passengers aged 65 and older are eligible for a discounted fare. HART also has a paratransit service which some seniors may be able to access.
  • The Dover area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Brandon Regional Hospital Emergency Center at Plant City, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Seniors in Dover who enjoy culture have access to Tampa's vibrant arts venues. Assisted facilities in the area may organize group visits to see a show at the Straz Center for Performing Arts. Tampa is also home to galleries like the Tampa Museum of Art which has a growing collection of ancient and modern art and hosts regular exhibitions.
  • Dover has mild winters and warm summers, allowing residents to enjoy a comfortable climate throughout the year. The average low temperature in winter is 49 degrees and in July the average high is around 91. The city has 246 sunny days each year, 31 more than the national average, giving seniors many opportunities to enjoy the Florida sunshine.
  • The Sperling index rates Dover's overall cost of living at 108, which is 8 points higher than the national average. Seniors can save money on healthcare and transport, which are rated lower than the U.S. average. However groceries costs are higher than average which may impact the budget of some seniors.
