Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Green Cove Springs

 

  • Seniors in Green Cove Springs only pay federal income taxes on their income and benefits due to the state’s lack of income taxes, making local assisted living services financially feasible for many who rely on various forms of income to fund their retirement. Additionally, the sales tax rate aligns with the national norm, and the state provides exemptions for prescription medications and medicine, two of the most common expenses for assisted living residents.

 

 

  • Green Cove Springs has an annual crime index of 30, meaning it ranks as safer than 30% of cities across the United States. This number relates to its overall crime rate of 15.73 incidents per 1,000 people, which is higher than 63% of Florida communities but consistent with typical rates in cities that share its population size. For those seeking assisted living facilities in safe communities, popular neighborhoods such as Asbury Lake East and Magnolia Point Golf and Country Club have lower-than-average crime rates.

 

  • Green Cove Springs has relatively warm weather throughout the year, with daytime highs ranging between 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter months and 85 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer. Residents see virtually no snow, appealing to assisted living residents who have sensitivity to cold weather or rely on mobility aids, although the city gets 41 inches of rainfall.

 

  • On the AARP Livability Index, Green Cove Springs scores 55 points versus the average U.S. city score of 48, indicating that the city offers above-average comfort and favorability to assisted living residents. It has more age diversity than a typical U.S. city, promoting a strong economy, and good air and water quality support residents’ health.
