Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Weston
- From mid-autumn through early spring, Weston has comfortable temperatures ranging from the 70s to the mid-80s. Weston is right on the edge of the Everglades, however, and summers can be muggy and hot. Sometimes temperatures reach the mid-90s, which could be uncomfortable for seniors.
- The cost of living in Weston is about 50% higher than the U.S. average overall, but seniors benefit from healthcare costs that are only 96% of the national average.
- The Weston area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Cleveland Clinic Medical Center and Memorial West Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Minutes from Weston, there are several nature parks with walking trails that should interest seniors. The nearby Flamingo Gardens is one of the oldest botanical gardens in Florida, with eagles, otters, peacocks and hundreds of flamingos living among rare and exotic native plants.
- Weston is located in Broward County, a hub of cultural activities for seniors, including attractions like the Museum of Discovery and Science. Seniors can also enjoy bus trips, lunch outings, seminars and movie afternoons through the Weston Parks and Recreation 55+ Club.
- Florida has no state income tax and, especially of interest to seniors, it has no estate, or inheritance, tax. The 6% state sales tax doesn't apply to food or medicine, another boon for seniors.
