For those who need extra assistance with the activities of living, there are two assisted living facilities in the city and 58 nearby.

Governed by the Georgia Department of Community Health, assisted living facilities in Milton and the state of Georgia are referred to as assisted living communities if they have 25 or more individuals or personal care homes if they have two to 24 people.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Milton

  • Milton has an array of community resources for seniors, including the National Charity League, an organization that seeks to improve the lives of seniors in the area, as well as at least three senior centers.
  • Seniors who need transportation to and from medical appointments and for various errands and outings in the area can utilize the Dial-A-Ride Transportation Service (DARTS) at free or discount fares. There are four buses with wheelchair lifts for individuals with disabilities. The service is provided to individuals 55 or older with limited transportation access.
  • The overall crime rate in Milton is 73 percent lower than other comparable cities in the state and 68 percent lower than the national average. This makes Milton a relatively safe place for seniors to live.

  • Milton has hot and humid summers with highs around 88 and short winters with lows around 31. The city rarely gets snow, but the average yearly rainfall of 52 inches is higher than the national average of 39 inches.
