What to Consider About Assisted Living in Snowflake
The surprisingly named town of Snowflake, situated just north of the White Mountains and about a three-hour drive away from Phoenix, is a quiet, charming haven for its estimated 5,753 residents. About 14.8 percent of them are seniors 65 years of age or older. For those who are considering assisted living, there are two assisted living communities available in Snowflake. Across Arizona, they are known as assisted living facilities and licensed by the Division of Licensing Services, Office of Assisted Living Licensing.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Snowflake
- Seniors who are outdoor enthusiasts may appreciate Snowflake's climate, which boasts a comfort index of 74 out of 100, meaning that it has many days in the 70s, little humidity and is more comfortable than most cities in the U.S. Contrary to its name, Snowflake usually has mild winters with an average of only 14 inches of snow each year.
- When it comes to possible destinations for senior trips, Snowflake and surrounding areas don't disappoint. Local points of interest include the Snowflake Temple, Stinson Pioneer Museum, the Snowflake Community Golf Course and hundreds of historic homes.
- The Snowflake area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Summit Healthcare Snowflake Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Regarding tax laws, the news for seniors living in Snowflake is mixed. Social Security retirement benefits are exempt and, compared to other states, Arizona has a relatively low personal income tax rate. However, all other kinds of retirement income, including pension withdrawals, are taxable and sales taxes are relatively high.
- With a cost of living that is 7.3 percent below the national average and 19 percent below the Arizona state average, Snowflake may be a good bargain for seniors.
- Snowflake has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Northern Arizona Council Of Governments, an organization that provides information on services and supports for older adults as well as one senior center.
