What to Consider About Assisted Living in Saint Petersburg
St. Petersburg, Florida, is the fifth-most populated city in the state and is known as the Sunshine City. With an average of 361 days of sunny weather each year, it is an excellent retirement destination and option for assisted living. There are 33 assisted living facilities directly within the St. Petersburg city limits and an additional 26 ALFs nearby. In St. Petersburg, ALFs are defined by the Department of Elder Affairs as establishments that offer residential services in a homelike environment to dependent adults. The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration licenses ALFs in Florida into four separate categories, including mental health care and limited nursing services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Saint Petersburg
- Other than the warm weather, another reason seniors choose assisted living in Florida is for the state's income tax cuts. In St. Petersburg and across the state, Social Security and pension income are exempt from taxation. Seniors can spend less on taxes in St. Petersburg and more on costs associated with assisted living.
- Having been named American Style magazine's top mid-sized town for its vibrant arts scene, St. Petersburg offers seniors many cultural attractions. Venues such as The Museum of Fine Arts of St. Petersburg offer seniors discounted tickets.
- Public transit in St. Petersburg is provided by Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority. Seniors qualify for more than half-off regular fare. Additionally, a sightseeing trolley called the Looper provides transportation to downtown attractions for only 50 cents.
-
Crime rates in St. Petersburg are unusually high. The city has the sixth-highest violent crime rate in all of Florida and is considered more dangerous than 93 percent of all other cities throughout the state. The high crime rates in the area should be considered by seniors who are contemplating moving to St. Petersburg.
- Because St. Petersburg is situated on the coast, seniors should be aware that the city is at risk for dangerous weather, including hurricanes and tropical storms.
- The cost of living in St. Petersburg is more expensive overall than in Tampa. Seniors will find utility and health costs cheaper in St. Petersburg, but will find food, housing and transportation costs more expensive than in Tampa.
Paying for Assisted Living in Saint Petersburg
Average Monthly Costs
Cities in Florida
Assisted Living costs in Saint Petersburg start around $2,597 per month on average, while the nationwide average cost of assisted living is $4,000 per month, according to the latest figures from Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey.
It’s important to note that assisted living rates in Saint Petersburg and the surrounding suburbs can vary widely based on factors such as location, the level of care needed, apartment size and the types of amenities offered at each community.
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Saint Petersburg
In St. Petersburg, seniors looking for financial assistance for assisted living should turn to the Florida Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program. Additionally, Florida also funds certain ALF services under various restrictions through a statewide 1915(b)(c) MLTC program.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Florida page.
More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
- Veterans Benefits
- Life Insurance Policy
- Long-Term Care Insurance
- Reverse Mortgage
For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Florida page.
