Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Plant City

  • The Plant City area is home to world-class medical facilities, including South Florida Baptist Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Hillsborough County, including Plant City, has mixed air quality. The county received passing grades for two categories in the State of the Air 2018 report, but a failing grade for ozone pollution. Seniors with respiratory conditions may wish to investigate how this will impact their health.
  • The Sunshine Line offers door-to-door transportation services to people in Hillsborough County who don't have access to their own transportation, including the elderly. Eligibility is based on a number of factors and fees are on a sliding scale based on income.
  • Plant City's cost of living is rated 99 on the Sperling index, just one point lower than the national average. Some day-to-day expenses are higher than the U.S. average, including groceries and transportation. Others are lower, including healthcare which is rated 96, four points lower than the national average. This may lead to savings for seniors with regular healthcare costs.
  • There is no state income tax in Florida, meaning seniors will have a smaller tax bill no matter the source of their retirement income. In addition, the state's sales taxes are close to the national average, allowing seniors to put more money towards their assisted living budget in Plant City.
  • Plant City has a high overall crime rate of 28 crimes per 1,000 residents. This is higher than 79 percent of Florida's other communities. Violent crime and property crime rates are both higher than the state average which may be a concern for safety-conscious seniors.
