What to Consider About Assisted Living in Venice

Assisted living facilities in Florida are licensed and regulated by the Agency for Health Care Administration, Bureau of Health Facilities Regulation. The agency issues licenses and permits to long-term care facilities, including assisted living facilities. It carries out inspections to ensure facilities comply with regulations, and it issues warnings to any facilities that aren’t in compliance.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Venice

  • Venice has long, hot and wet summers, and short, cool winters. Through the year, the temperatures typically vary between 53 degrees and 89 degrees and rarely reach below 40 degrees or above 92 degrees. Due to the mild winters, the need for heating is low, which is a great money-saver for seniors. For outdoor activities, the best times of year are from late February to mid-May and from late October to early December.
  • The crime rates in Venice are lower than the national and state averages. For violent crimes, the city’s rating is 9.4, far below the state rating of 22.7 and the national average of 23.4. For property crime, Venice has a rating of 27.6, lower than the state rating (37.3) and the national rating (35.4). Seniors can feel safe living in Venice as in addition to its low crime rates, assisted living communities also have 24/7 staffing and video surveillance to ensure the communities are secure. 
  • Florida is one of the most tax-friendly states for retirees. There’s no state income tax, and therefore Social Security retirement benefits, income from pensions and IRAs or 401(k)s are all untaxed. Florida also has no inheritance or estate tax, making it very appealing to retirees. The property and sales tax rates are around the same as the national average. 
  • The cost of living in Venice is close to the state and national averages. On a 100-point scale where 100 is the U.S. average, the overall cost of living in Venice is 101.3, compared to 102.8 in Florida. The average cost of health care is slightly cheaper than average at 97.6, and transportation is also below average at 96.4. 
  • Public transportation is available in Venice. The Sarasota County Area Transit system (SCAT) runs local and regional routes in Sarasota and Venice. For seniors aged 65 and over and Medicare cardholders, the bus fares are half price. Seniors aged 80 and over receive free bus rides.
