What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sugar Hill

The Georgia Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division, licenses assisted living communities in Sugar Hill. This department enforces minimum standards for housing, care planning and services to ensure a consistent standard of care for all assisted living residents, and it publishes information on public programs that help qualified seniors pay for care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Sugar Hill

  • In Sugar Hill, seniors don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits. While the state taxes other income at rates between 1% and 5.75%, those aged 65 and over can claim a deduction of up to $65,000. For seniors aged 62 to 64, the state reduces this deduction to $35,000.
  • On a total crime index, Sugar Hill scores 50, putting it in the midrange for safety compared to other U.S. cities. It rates as safer than 56% of Georgia communities and has a crime rate that’s noticeably lower than similarly sized cities nationwide. Even so, its property crime rate aligns with the national average and residents have a 1 in 529 chance of being victims of violent crime, making assisted living an appealing alternative to living alone. 
  • Sugar Hill ranks among the top half of U.S. communities for seniors, with an AARP Livability Index score of 51. The city has a strong economy and ample opportunities for enrichment, with 2.4 cultural institutions versus 1.9 nationally, as well as relatively clean air and water. Additionally, its preventable hospitalization rate is well below the national norm of 38.2, with only 33.4 incidents per 100,000 patients.  
  • Sugar Hill seniors obtain transportation services through Gwinnett County’s Health and Human Services, Senior Services division. The county provides door-to-door services for non emergency medical appointments and nonmedical activities, such as grocery shopping and recreational outings. Seniors who need assistance getting into and out of the vehicle pay a mileage-based fee for service, while those able to enter and exit the vehicle without assistance pay an income-based cost share.
  • Gwinnett County ranks among the healthiest counties in Georgia, falling in the 75-100th percentile for health factors and outcomes and ranking 6th overall across the state’s 159 ranked counties. While particle pollution levels are slightly elevated in this community with 10.8 micrograms per cubic meter of fine particles, this is still below the EPA’s average standard of 12 micrograms. In addition to this, the local life expectancy is 80.6 years, which is high compared to the state norm of 77.3 and the national average of 78.5.
