READ MOREEustis is a lakeside city in Florida, located just under an hour's travel from Orlando. Retirees often move to the city to benefit from its year-round warm weather, with temperatures falling to 45.6 degrees Fahrenheit on average during winter, much higher than many regions throughout the country. What's more, Eustis has a low incidence of violent crimes, making it a relatively safe home for seniors, who comprise 19.6% of the city's 23,961 residents.
Assisted living costs $5,208 per month in Eustis, substantially higher than the state and national averages of $4,000 and $4,500, respectively. Prices cover most needs, including accommodations, food, personal care and on-site enrichment such as recreational activities and social events. The personal care provided in assisted living communities helps seniors enjoy a convenient and safe lifestyle, as opposed to nursing homes which are more suitable for those who require 24-hour skilled nursing.
This guide discusses care costs in Eustis and provides information about financial aid seniors can access to support budgeting. It also outlines some free and low-cost resources available to support older adults as they explore senior living options.
