What to Consider About Assisted Living in Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia, also known as Hotlanta, ATL and the Big Peach, has many qualities that make it an appealing city for seniors, including a warm climate, parks, walking trails and museums. In fact, 41,339 seniors already call the city home. Seniors who may benefit from assisted living facility care have three dozen in Atlanta from which to choose. In Atlanta, as is the case in all of Georgia, assisted living facilities are licensed by the Georgia Department of Community Health.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Atlanta
- Atlanta is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
- Georgia does not tax Social Security benefits which might be of interest to low-income seniors considering relocating to Atlanta.
- The cost of living in Atlanta is 115.4, more than 15 points higher than the national average of 100. Seniors with restrictive budgets might want to keep this higher cost of living in mind when relocating to the city.
- Atlanta has very poor air quality, ranking only 32 on a scale where 100 represents the areas with the cleanest air, 26 points lower than the national average of 58. Seniors with respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD might want to consider smaller towns and cities in Georgia.
-
Crime rates in Atlanta are much higher than the national average. The city has a violent crime of 55.3, and a property crime rate of 75.4, both more than double the national averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively. The property crime rate is 71.7, which is nearly double the national average of 38.1. Although seniors in assisted living facilities are protected by alarm systems and cameras, concerned families might want to consider looking for facilities elsewhere in Georgia.
- Atlanta has hot summers with temperatures soaring to 89 degrees. Seniors with sensitivities to heat or sunshine should consider the climate before choosing to reside in assisted living in Atlanta.
