What to Consider About Assisted Living in Coral Gables

Coral Gables is mostly known for the famous Biltmore Hotel and Venetian Pool, built in the 1920s, but it also features the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden, The University of Miami, and the "Miracle Mile," a prime location for shopping and dining. Seniors looking for assisted living in Coral Gables won't find any facilities within the city limits, but there are hundreds close by in the  Miami area. 

Florida's Bureau of Health Facility Regulation licenses assisted living homes throughout the state, and there are several types. All facilities provide meals, and standard homes offer assistance with daily activities such as personal hygiene and mobility. These homes are well suited to seniors who are still reasonably independent. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Coral Gables

  • The cost of living in Coral Gables is double the national average, due mostly to housing that costs four times the median. Seniors on a tight budget may want to consider less expensive areas around Miami. 

  • Coral Gables is a very safe city with 1.52 incidents of violent crime per 1,000 residents per year. The national average is 4, and Florida averages 4.3. Property crime is slightly higher than state and national averages. 

  • With 20 percent more sunny days than the typical U.S. city, Coral Gables boasts beautiful weather. Summers are long and hot though, with temperatures in the upper 80s and 90s. Winters are short and mild with average lows in the upper 50s. 

  • Sales tax in Miami-Dade County is 7 percent, but there are no state income taxes in Florida, which includes SSI benefits and pensions. 

  • Coral Gables is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning 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. 

  • The American Lung Association grades Miami-Dade County, home to Coral Gables, as a B for both high-ozone days and particle pollutants. Seniors with respiratory conditions may be comfortable in the area, but better Florida options exist.
