What to Consider About Assisted Living in Brooksville

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration licenses and regulates assisted living communities in Brooksville and enforces rules regarding move-in and move-out procedures, care planning, staffing and nutrition services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Brooksville

  • On a cost of living index based on a national norm of 100, Brooksville rates 92.6. This is about 7% below the nationwide average and about 10 percentage points below Florida’s median, indicating that Brooksville is among the more budget-friendly options in Florida for seniors.
  • There’s no state income tax in Florida, meaning that seniors keep a larger portion of their retirement income. This may make assisted living in Brooksville more accessible than care in cities in neighboring states that impose income taxes.
  • Mid Florida Community Services, Inc., operates Trans Hernando, a transportation service exclusively for seniors and those with disabilities. The shared-ride program features door-to-door service to help older adults get to banks, grocery stores, medical facilities and service providers, and all vehicles are wheelchair and ADA accessible. To schedule transportation, seniors should call (352) 799-1510 by noon on the day before they need services. Transportation for medical appointments can be scheduled up to two weeks prior.
  • On a 100-point crime index that assigns higher scores to communities with more crime, Brooksville rates 37.3 for violent crime and 54.6 for property crime. This is notably higher than respective national scores of 22.7 and 35.4, though it’s helpful to note that the number of crimes per capita has been declining for the past 20 years.
  • Brooksville’s weather is consistent with the state as a whole with daytime temperatures ranging from 71 degrees in the winter to 91 degrees in the summer. The city gets virtually no snow but about 53 inches of annual rainfall. Humidity levels are high in the summer and may be unpleasant when combined with high temperatures, but many assisted living facilities have individual climate control in residents’ rooms to ensure year-round comfort.
  • Health care is generally affordable in Brooksville, with typical costs for dental services, hospital stays and doctor’s office visits coming in about 5% below national norms. However, there are only 136 doctors per capita, 35% below the nationwide average. Even so, two hospitals serve the city, including Bravera Health Brooksville and HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital, promoting access to high-quality care.
