With warm weather year-round, a low cost of living and no state income taxes, Wildwood is a favorable option for many seniors. A wide range of resources are available for older adults, an age group that makes up nearly 40% of the city's estimated 18,000 residents, including an active community center, a Meals on Wheels program and an Area Agency on Aging. The city also has several home care agencies that provide private nonmedical services such as medication reminders, light housekeeping and personal care. Local seniors pay $5,720 per month on average for this level of care, which is high compared to state and national norms but the same as the cost of home health care, which includes skilled nursing.

In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we've compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.
