What to Consider About Assisted Living in Waddell
The city of Waddell began with the planting of a citrus tree during the Great Depression. Today, the city is largely considered to be a neighborhood of the city of Surprise, where seniors make up about one in five of the 134,000-person population.
There are 82 assisted living options for seniors seeking care in the Waddell region, including two facilities in Waddell proper. In this city, as in the rest of Arizona, assisted living facilities include adult foster care, assisted living homes and assisted living centers. All facilities are licensed by the Division of Public Health Licensing Services, Bureau of Residential Facilities Licensing.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Waddell
-
Safety in Waddell is rated 53 out of 100, indicating that the city is safer than 53 percent of U.S. cities of all sizes. Compared to other Arizona cities, Waddell's crime rate is lower than 82 percent of cities of all sizes. When it's compared only to similarly sized communities across the country, Waddell's crime rate is notably lower than average. This may make the city a good option for seniors who enjoy being out and about alone.
- Waddell's air quality is very poor, which may affect the quality of life of seniors with respiratory illnesses like COPD and asthma. The American Lung Association gave Maricopa County, where Waddell is located, an F for both ozone pollution and short-term particle pollution.
- The Waddell area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Sun City West.
- While Waddell seniors do not pay state income tax on their Social Security benefits, all other types of retirement income are fully taxed. Additionally, Arizona's sales tax rate is fairly high. This may affect how much money can be put toward local assisted living expenses.
- The Waddell region experiences intensely hot summers with highs in the triple digits, which may be a consideration for seniors who are sensitive to heat. Winters are comfortable, however, with lows in the low-40s, and the area receives virtually no snow.
- The cost of living in the Waddell region is on par with the statewide average and about 10 percent higher than the national average. Seniors can expect to pay slightly more for healthcare and utilities here and slightly less for groceries than they would elsewhere in the nation.
