What to Consider About Assisted Living in Orange City

In Orange City and the rest of Florida, assisted living facilities are licensed and regulated by the Agency for Health Care Administration. Standard licenses allow facilities to provide routine personal care services, and specialty licenses are for more specific types of care. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Orange City

  • While the amount of physicians per capita in Orange City is below the national average, residents have access to plenty of health care facilities, including AdventHealth Fish Memorial. This hospital and other care centers are within the city limits, and additional facilities are in nearby cities.
  • The overall cost of living in Orange City is almost 10% lower than the national average and 12.7% lower than the average for the state of Florida. This low cost of living is complemented by the state’s lack of income tax, so seniors can spend more of their earnings on assisted living and other long-term care expenses.
  • Seniors who enjoy warm weather most of the year will appreciate Orange City’s climate, which is classified as humid subtropical. This climate produces frequent thunderstorms with a lot of rain, but the city gets an above-average amount of sunshine and rarely gets snow.
  • The air quality in Orange City is excellent. The American Lung Association gives Volusia County a passing grade for particle pollution and an A for ozone pollution. There have been zero detectable days of high ozone pollution in the area from 2015 onward. Unfortunately, the water quality in Orange City is well below the national average.
  • Rates of both violent crime and property crime in Orange City are higher than national averages. Fortunately, crime rates have been declining in the city steadily over the past 20 years. Assisted living facilities in the area have security features to give families peace of mind. 

Paying for Assisted Living in Orange City
