Located in southern Broward County between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Pembroke Pines is a relatively calm alternative to the crowds typical of this part of Florida. Seniors comprise 18.4% of its almost 171,200 residents, which is above the U.S. average of 16.8%. The city offers its older residents slightly more affordable health care fees, low-cost paratransit services, comfortably cool days between fall and spring and lower than average crime rates.
Assisted living is a senior care option suitable for older adults who find daily living functions increasingly difficult, such as bathing and managing their medications. Facilities are homey, with rooms typically furnished with the resident’s own items and cleaning and laundry left to the staff. It’s common for assisted living facilities to manage social activity programs for residents, and many have in-house beauty salons. Costlier facilities sometimes have spas and golf courses. The median fee in Pembroke Pines is $4,385, which is above Florida’s midpoint.
In this guide, you’ll find a review of Pembroke Pines’ benefits and drawbacks and the costs of assisted living and other types of senior care in South Florida. There’s also a small list of free resources for seniors.
