The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Casselberry, FL for 2024

 

Casselberry is a city of nearly 30,000 in the southern region of Florida's Seminole County. Its quiet, residential surroundings, nearby beaches and tropical climate make it an attractive destination for seniors, who account for around 15% of the population. It's also just 10 miles north of downtown Orlando, providing seniors access to recreation, entertainment and top health care facilities, including the Orlando Regional Medical Center.

As seniors age, they often explore assisted living communities, which provide daily living support, such as personal care, medication management, meal preparation and housekeeping. These communities also offer recreational activities, therapies and transportation. The average cost of assisted living in Casselberry is $4,000 per month, on par with the Florida state median. This makes Casselberry an affordable option compared to the average American city, where seniors pay $4,500.

This guide offers a further look into assisted living in Casselberry, including a detailed cost comparison, a breakdown of facility regulations and options for financial assistance.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Casselberry

Assisted living facilities across Florida operate under the direction of the state's Agency for Health Care Administration, Bureau of Health Facility Regulation. This body is responsible for the initial licensing and continued regulation of these facilities, including conducting scheduled and unscheduled inspections to ensure they're compliant with state laws and regulations for resident wellness and safety.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Casselberry

 

  • The cost of living in Casselberry falls 7% below the national average, making it an affordable option compared to many U.S. cities. Spending less on average each month on groceries, transportation and health care services allows seniors to dedicate more of their retirement income to recreation and entertainment, miscellaneous expenses and care needs such as assisted living.

 

  • Casselberry is generally considered a safe city for seniors. It receives a B+ rating in terms of overall crime, making it safer than 74% of American cities. Assisted living facilities also typically have security systems in place to further safeguard their residents.

 

  • There are only 177 physicians per capita in Casselberry compared to the national average of 210, and there are no hospitals in the city. However, local residents can easily access several nearby health care facilities, including the region's top hospital, AdventHealth Altamonte Springs, located just 2 miles away.

 

  • Seniors who prefer a mild climate can benefit from Casselberry's pleasant year-round weather. It's rare for temperatures to fall below 50 degrees Fahrenheit in winter, and the area receives zero snowfall. In the summer, temperatures can climb as high as the low 90s, and on average, residents enjoy 240 days of sunshine annually.

 

  • In a city with so many opportunities to spend time outdoors, air quality is important. The American Lung Association gives the air quality in the Casselberry area an A-rating for both high ozone days and 24-hour particle pollution and an overall passing grade for annual particle pollution.

 

  • Casselberry is a car-dependent city. Public transportation is quite limited, and many neighborhoods are not walkable. Fortunately, many assisted living facilities offer complimentary transportation services to take seniors out for appointments, errands and social engagements.

 

  • As there is no state income tax in Florida, Casselberry seniors do not have to pay tax on their Social Security benefits, pension income or retirement accounts, such as IRAs and 401(k)s. Florida does not have inheritance or estate taxes, either. With these savings, seniors may have more funds available to cover their long-term care expenses.
