Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Oviedo

  • The cost of living in Oviedo is relatively high, which may affect seniors’ ability to maintain their preferred standard of living on fixed incomes. Groceries, housing, transportation and expenses such as restaurant meals and clothing are higher here, but opting for assisted living may provide greater control over monthly expenses.
  • Crime is relatively uncommon in Oviedo, promoting an environment many seniors are seeking for their retirement years. On a 100-point crime index, the city scores 15.4 for violent crime and 21.3 for property crime, compared to national norms of 22.7 and 35.4. Its per-capita crime rates put it in line with similarly sized cities, such as Winter Springs, and are lower than in nearby cities, such as Casselberry and Longwood.
  • As is typical of the region, summers in Oviedo have high temperatures in the low 90s and stifling humidity, but other seasons are pleasant, with daytime temperatures in the comfortable 70-85-degree range. Assisted living facilities have indoor social and recreational activities throughout the year, and many have fitness centers and pools, letting residents maintain an active lifestyle even when outdoor temperatures are too high for comfort.
  • Health care costs in Oviedo are consistent with national norms. While there are only 177 doctors per capita compared to 210 nationally, the city is home to Oviedo Medical Center, promoting access to diverse primary and specialty care as well as emergency services. Assisted living facilities often have telemedicine services and visiting physicians to further improve access to care.
  • Florida is among the few states in the nation without an income tax, meaning seniors don’t pay state income taxes on pension income, Social Security benefits or withdrawals from retirement savings accounts. This may leave more money available for long-term care expenses in Oviedo.
  • Oviedo’s exceptional air quality makes it a good option for those with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions and may appeal to seniors seeking assisted living in Central Florida. The American Lung Association gives Seminole County, where the city is located, the highest marks across all three categories, including Ozone, 24-hour Particle Pollution and Annual Particle Pollution.
