What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cocoa Beach
Cocoa Beach, located on Florida's Space Coast, has many exciting attractions, especially for space enthusiasts. It is located near the Kennedy Space Center and NASA's launch headquarters, where seniors can tour launch-pad areas, meet astronauts and see rockets. After that excitement, a walk on Cocoa Beach's pier or through nearby nature preserves may be a relaxing way end to the day.
Cocoa Beach has one assisted living facility within the city limits, and there are five others nearby for seniors who need some help with activities of daily living. There are three types of assisted living communities in Florida, yet all of them have a standard license and provide meals and personal care services to seniors.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Cocoa Beach
- While health care costs in Cocoa Beach are 7 percent below the national average, the overall cost of living is 13 percent higher. If you're considering a move from a lower cost-of-living area, be prepared for higher expenses.
- Cocoa Beach's rainfall totals are 25 percent higher than the average U.S. city; however, the city gets about 15 percent more sunny days. The summers are long, hot and humid with average highs between 80 and 90 degrees. Winters are short and mild with average lows in the 50s.
- With a rate of 5.27 violent crimes per 1,000 residents per year, Cocoa Beach's crime rate is about 25 percent higher than the state and national averages, which isn't uncommon for popular tourist and spring break locations.
- Although the state does charge sales tax on most purchases, it doesn't impose an income tax on residents. Seniors moving from other states may find some budget relief with untaxed 401(k), pension and social security payments.
-
Senior TranServe in Brevard County offers eligible seniors free scheduled transportation for doctor's appointments, family visits and other errands. The Space Coast Area Transit provides seniors with discounted bus fares to help with unscheduled travel needs.
- Active seniors in Cocoa Beach might enjoy watching rocket launches from the Cocoa Beach Pier or visiting the nearby Kennedy Space Center. For those who prefer indoor activities, the Freedom 7 Senior Community Center hosts game clubs and fitness programs four days a week.
