Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mount Dora

  • Mount Dora is a highly livable community for seniors and members of other generations. It’s been recognized as one of America’s best small towns, and it’s received numerous accolades for its history, farmers market, community festivals and hidden attractions.
  • Central Florida’s warm, sunny climate is a key factor behind its popularity among retirees. Although rainfall levels are higher than average, residents can expect mild winters with lows in the mid-40s. Comfort levels drop slightly from June through September due to high heat and humidity.
  • Despite being regarded as a resort community, Mount Dora’s cost of living is comparable to the state and national average. The reasonable cost of essentials, such as housing, health care and groceries, can help retirees who depend on a fixed income.
  • As part of Lake County, seniors in Mount Dora have access to accessible transportation. LakeXpress operates fixed-route bus lines that travel to Leesburg, The Villages and surrounding areas. Lake County Connections provides low-cost paratransit services to individuals unable to use other transportation systems.
  • Mount Dora receives a C+ rating for crime from Niche, which means it’s a fairly safe area for seniors. Property crimes and violent crimes are slightly higher than the national average. However, assisted living communities have security measures in place to ensure resident’s safety.
  • Health care access in Mount Dora is limited. The community has just 160 doctors per 100,000 residents compared to the national average of 210. Although the nearest hospital is almost 18 miles away, several medical centers in the area have been ranked as high-performing by U.S. News & World Report.
