What to Consider About Assisted Living in Washington
For retirees who love history, arts and culture and other areas of interest such as architecture, entertainment and politics, the iconic city of Washington, D.C., takes seniors in the center of all the action. The U.S. Capital is home to 12 assisted living residences alongside world-renowned national landmarks, and there 36 other facilities in nearby areas of Maryland and Virginia.
Assisted living residences in Washington, D.C. are governed by the District of Columbia Department of Health, Health Regulation & Licensing Administration, Intermediate Care Facilities Division.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Washington
- Washington, D.C., is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
- Due to expensive housing, the overall cost of living in Washington, D.C., is 39% higher than the national average. However, utilities and healthcare are slightly more affordable than the U.S. averages, and groceries and medicines are tax-exempt.
- The abundance and diversity arts and culture offerings in Washington, D.C., keeps seniors entertained and revitalized. Aside from free visits to Smithsonian Institute museums and free live events at the National Mall, in various foreign embassies and other national landmarks, there are plenty of theater venues and theater companies that showcase spectacular live performances including ballet, plays, musicals and concerts.
- The Washington, D.C., area is home to world-class medical facilities including MedStar Washington Hospital Center, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, George Washington University Hospital and Howard University Hospital in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- The rates of violent and property crimes in Washington, D.C., are substantially higher than the U.S. averages, making the area among the top 100 dangerous cities in the country. For the peace of mind of seniors and their loved ones, taking security factors into consideration is crucial when choosing an assisted living facility.
