What to Consider About Assisted Living in Jackson

Jackson, Georgia, is a town halfway between Atlanta and Macon and just to the west of the scenic Piedmont National Wildlife Preserve. Seniors —  almost 15 percent of the population in Jackson — who require assistance with daily living tasks and are looking for a facility with close proximity to the state's capital will find six assisted living facilities in Jackson and eight nearby.

Regulated by the Georgia Department of Community Health, there are two types of assisted living facilities in Jackson and the state of Georgia. Assisted living communities are personal care homes that serve 25 or more, and personal care homes have two or more seniors. Both types deliver help with daily grooming, meals, housekeeping and the administration of medication.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Jackson

  • Seniors have a 1 in 49 chance of becoming a victim to any type of crime in Jackson. This average is 50 percent higher than most cities within the state.

  • Jackson has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Northeast Georgia Area Agency on Aging, an organization that addresses the needs and concerns of seniors in the area, as well as at least two senior centers.

  • The Jackson area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the WellStar Sylvan Grove Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Jackson County Transit offers three 10-passenger vans that are all equipped with lifts to provide rural public transportation for individuals with disabilities and those over the age of 60. This shared-ride system is available at discount prices and must be scheduled in advance.

  • The cost of living in Jackson is 95.7, a little more than 4 percent below the national average of 100. This may make it easier for seniors on a budget to settle in Jackson.

  • Seniors who want to escape the cold and snow of the north may appreciate the climate in Jackson. Summers are hot and humid with July highs around 90. January lows are around 33. The city rarely gets any snow, but it does get approximately 48 inches of rain per year, which is higher than the national average of 39.

Paying for Assisted Living in Jackson

Assisted Living costs in Jackson start around $3,125 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.
