    What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fort Lauderdale

    Located 28 miles from Miami and 2 miles north of Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, offers seniors amenities like Las Olas Boulevard tours and shopping, historical districts and arts districts. The Fort Lauderdale region boasts 64 assisted living facilities, with 20 of those facilities located within the city and another 44 communities in the surrounding area. In this city, as in all of Florida, assisted living facilities are licensed and regulated by the Agency for Health Care Administration.

    Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fort Lauderdale

    • Sperling’s Comfort Index rates Fort Lauderdale 90 out of 100, which means that this city has a comfortable year-round climate. The city receives approximately 60 inches of rain every year, which is over 20 inches more than the national average. Even so, residents enjoy roughly 246 sunny days annually. July highs reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and winters average a comfortable 59 degrees with no snowfall.  

    • Fort Lauderdale has a high cost of living that surpasses both state and national averages. Seniors in this city can expect to spend more on groceries, transportation, health care, utilities and other miscellaneous expenses than they would in other cities.

    • The Fort Lauderdale area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Holy Cross Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.  

    • Fort Lauderdale is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that 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. 

    • Fort Lauderdale has an array of community resources for seniors, including Caring Transitions, an organization that helps seniors by coordinating the details of relocating to assisted living, as well as two senior centers.
