What to Consider About Assisted Living in Oakland Park

In Oakland Park, all assisted living facilities are licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. This agency sets minimum requirements for building features, care planning, staff training and nutrition and medication services, and it enforces compliance through regular surveys and site inspections. It also publishes a list of all licensed assisted living facilities in Florida. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Oakland Park

 

  • Because Florida doesn’t have a state income tax, seniors in Oakland Park only pay federal taxes on their retirement earnings and benefits. This may let them put a higher portion of their retirement income toward assisted living expenses in Oakland Park.
  • Living expenses in Oakland Park trend a little higher than the state and national norm, which may be a concern for some seniors with fixed incomes. Overall, the cost of living in this city is about 7% higher than the national norm and four percentage points higher than Florida’s average, mainly because of higher transportation and grocery prices. Fortunately, many assisted living facilities offer all-inclusive pricing, helping residents budget for their retirement expenses.
  • Violent crime occurs at about the same rate in Oakland Park as in the nation as a whole, but property crime has historically been more common in this city than in a typical U.S. community. On a 100-point index, the city scores 24.6 for violent crime versus 22.7 nationally. The property crime rate is 60.5, compared to 35.4 nationally, but the number of incidents annually has been steadily dropping over the past two decades. This may provide peace of mind to seniors considering this city for assisted living.
  • Oakland Park residents experience very warm summers, with high humidity levels and daytime temperatures around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Winters, on the other hand, are mild, with nighttime temperatures around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. To help residents stay comfortable year-round, assisted living facilities often have individually controlled thermostats in residents’ rooms.
  • There are no hospitals in Oakland Park, but the city’s proximity to Fort Lauderdale gives residents access to high-performing medical facilities, such as Holy Cross Hospital and Broward Health Imperial Point. Additionally, many assisted living facilities have wellness centers and dedicated office space for visiting health care providers.
