What to Consider About Assisted Living in Miami Gardens

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration licenses all assisted living facilities in Miami Gardens and the rest of the state. This department has a comprehensive set of rules related to housing requirements, care planning and staffing, which it enforces through licensing processes and regular site inspections. It also publishes information on residents’ rights and recourse for substandard care. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Miami Gardens

 

  • Because Florida doesn't have a state income tax, seniors in Miami Gardens only pay federal taxes on their retirement income, even if they relocated from another state. This may provide significant annual savings and make it easier to afford assisted living expenses.  
  • According to the American Lung Association, the air quality in the Miami Gardens region is generally safe for seniors. There are only a couple of days annually in which ozone or particle pollution levels are high enough to affect vulnerable groups, including older adults and those with heart or lung conditions. Based on this, the organization gives the region a B for ozone and particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution.
  • Miami Gardens is conveniently located near high-performing medical facilities, including North Shore Medical Center in Miami and HCA Florida Aventura Hospital in Aventura. While there isn’t a hospital in the city proper, many assisted living facilities support telemedicine services or have nurses on staff who provide routine wellness exams.
  • Miami Gardens is part of the AARP Age-Friendly Network, which means its officials have incorporated policies to make the city a welcoming place for retirees. The city rates in the top half of U.S. communities with a livability index score of 50, which is based on high access to stores, parks and libraries, as well as its safe and convenient transportation services.
  • Miami Gardens is among the costlier places to live in Florida, which may be a concern for seniors with fixed incomes. On a cost of living index based on a national score of 100, the city scores 118.9 versus the Florida score of 103.1. This is mainly due to high housing, grocery and transportation costs, which seniors may be able to avoid by choosing an assisted living facility with all-inclusive pricing.
  • On a 100-point crime index, Miami Gardens scores 36.8 for violent crime and 52.1 for property crime versus 22.7 and 35.4 nationally, indicating that crime occurs a little more frequently here than in other U.S. cities. Fortunately, many assisted living facilities support a safe environment through security gates and alarm systems.
