The Cost of Assisted Living in Wesley Chapel, FL and Nearby Cities

Wesley Chapel’s typical senior saves $650 per month in assisted living when compared to their Floridian equivalent and another $500 on top of that when compared to the average American. However, it’s not the most affordable fee in the region, as Lakeland’s typical senior pays $3,300. This isn’t the norm, though, as other nearby cities are costlier, such as Orlando ($4,000), North Port ($4,145) and The Villages ($5,208).

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Wesley Chapel

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

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Living in Wesley Chapel, FL

Comparisons with other types of care show assisted living’s $3,350 median fee in Wesley Chapel to be the most favorable. Adult day care is cheaper, at $2,123, but the senior needs to travel to the center, doesn’t get round-the-clock assistance and still has to pay the costs of living at home. In-home care is more expensive, at $4,767, and home health care adds another $95 per month to that. However, none are as expensive as nursing home care, where fees average $8,927.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Wesley Chapel

Assisted living facilities in Florida are overseen by the Bureau of Health Facility Regulation, a department of the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. It has the authority to conduct unannounced inspections to determine if a facility continues to abide by the terms of its license, such as upholding health and safety standards.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Wesley Chapel

  • Wesley Chapel residents have access to good quality health care, as the region is home to several respected hospitals, including AdventHealth Wesley Chapel, which U.S. News and World Report rates as high-performing in five procedures/conditions. There are also many Medicare-registered physicians, which should benefit the program’s local beneficiaries. 
  • The average cost of living in Wesley Chapel is slightly above the norm for Florida, but this appears to be driven by housing costs, which are unlikely to concern most assisted living residents. Generally, the region’s health care costs are on par with state averages, while transportation costs are lower. Also, the State of Florida doesn’t tax residents’ incomes, including retirement income and pensions.
  • Wesley Chapel’s low levels of crime may be one of the better reasons for living in the region. Violent crime is less than half the Florida average, and property crime is lower still, at almost a third of what the typical Floridian city experiences. 
  • Wesley Chapel has one of the healthier environments in Florida, scoring a health cost index of 96.7/100. This is partly due to the above-average air quality, which may particularly suit seniors with breathing conditions, and the region’s worthy efforts to clean contaminated land as part of the EPA’s Superfund program.
  • The area’s senior-friendly climate sees comfortable winter lows of 47 degrees and pleasant summer highs of 91 degrees. Rainfall in summer results in high levels of humidity during this period, but the levels are generally comfortable at other times.
  • Adults aged 65 and older using Pasco County Public Transportation, known as GOPASCO, are eligible for a 50% discount on all fares. Those with disabilities may be eligible for the firm’s paratransit program, a curb-to-curb service with fares ranging from $0 to $3 per one-way ride.
