What to Consider About Assisted Living in Green Cove Springs

Green Cove Springs, named for the hydrological spring it sits upon, is a town in Clay County, Florida, along the St. Johns River. Seniors make up 16.9 percent of the population in this small town and are served by one assisted living facility within city limits and over 90 in the surrounding areas. In Florida, assisted living facilities are licensed through The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and are designated with standard or specialty care licenses. To qualify for an assisted living designation, a community must house seniors in a non-restrictive, home-like environment.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Green Cove Springs

  • The cost of living in Green Cove Springs is 4.5 percent higher than the U.S. average, and transportation costs are 17 percent higher than the national median. This may affect seniors living on a tight budget. Grocery and health care costs come in below average, which may provide some relief.  
  • The weather in Green Cove Springs is variable. Summers can get very hot and muggy with high temperatures reaching an average of 92 degrees Fahrenheit in July. This may have an adverse effect on seniors who have trouble with the heat. Winters are cool with lows of 43 degrees in January and 0 inches of snowfall. Rainfall is above average at 52 inches annually.  
  • Florida is a retirement tax-friendly state as there is no state income tax, so Social Security and other retirement income is untaxed which can help seniors save more money for assisted living costs.  
  • Green Cove Springs is safer than 19 percent of other U.S. cities, but violent crime is quite high here, scoring a 70 out of 100, with 100 representing high crime. This could affect seniors who like to travel around town alone. Property crime fared slightly better with a score of 45.6.  
  • For seniors who can’t drive, Clay Transit provides door-to-door transportation on seven bus lines around town to medical appointments, shopping and social activities with discounted fares for seniors over 60.  
  • Green Cove Springs has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Council on Aging Clay County, an organization that provides services such as personal care, nutrition programs, transportation and classes, as well as one senior center.
