What to Consider About Assisted Living in Ocoee

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration licenses assisted living facilities in Ocoee and in Florida as a whole. Through this agency, individuals can get information on the rules facilities in the state follow related to housing requirements, nutrition services and staffing. The agency also issues specialty licenses for assisted living facilities that provide a broader scope of care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Ocoee

  • Ocoee is home to Orlando Health – Health Central Hospital, a state-of-the-art medical facility that is home to the Joint Replacement Center in addition to emergency services and inpatient and outpatient care. Health care costs in this city trend a little lower than national norms, which may help seniors afford care.
  • Florida has no state income tax, so older adults only pay income taxes at the federal level on their retirement income no matter its source. The city also has no inheritance or estate tax, which may help some older adults afford long-term care expenses. 
  • The air quality in Orange County, where Ocoee is located, is very good and may support the health and comfort of seniors managing chronic health conditions. According to the American Lung Association, high-ozone and high-particle days are uncommon, earning the region a grade of A for both categories.
  • The cost of living in Ocoee is a little high compared to state and national norms, which may be a consideration for older adults with limited financial resources. On a 100-point index based on national living costs, the city scores 107.2, indicating that the cost of living is about 7% higher than in the nation as a whole. Housing costs, utilities and transportation expenses are high, but choosing an assisted living arrangement may help some seniors save money on living expenses.
  • Ocoee has a humid subtropical climate, meaning that residents experience temperate winters and very warm, humid summers. Temperatures in Ocoee range from lows of 47 in the winter to average highs of 92 in the summer months, and it gets about 235 sunny days annually compared to the national norm of 205.
