What to Consider About Assisted Living in Avon

In Avon, assisted living facilities must register with the Family and Social Services Agency Division of Aging, and they must obtain licensing through the Indiana State Department of Health. The FSSA also operates the state’s long-term care ombudsman’s office, which provides information and advocacy for current and prospective assisted living residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Avon

  • Over the course of a year, daytime temperatures in Avon fall in the range of 35-84 degrees, offering a mild climate that may appeal to active seniors. The city gets 42 inches of rain and 22 inches of snow annually, with January seeing about 7 inches of snowfall. Humidity levels tend to be high in July but low throughout the rest of the year.
  • Avon is home to two hospitals, including St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital and IU Health West Hospital, giving residents access to emergency services, inpatient and outpatient care and diagnostic services. On average, health care costs in this city come in about 13% below the national norm, making care accessible to many retirees with fixed incomes.
  • The overall cost of living in Avon is consistent with national norms but high compared to the state average. On a cost of living index based on a national norm of 100, the city rates 98.5 versus the state score of 83.7. Costs for utilities, housing and groceries fall below national norms, which may promote competitive assisted living pricing.
  • On a 100-point crime index, Avon scores 24.3 for violent crime, which is slightly higher than the national average of 22.7. Property crime is considerably more prevalent, earning the city a score of 56.3. By comparison, the nation scores 35.4. However, assisted living, which often has security features, may provide peace of mind for seniors concerned about crime.
  • Older adults in Avon pay state income taxes on pension income, withdrawals from retirement savings accounts and returns on investments, but the tax rate is relatively low. Social Security benefits are exempt from taxation, which may help seniors have more money to put toward long-term care in Avon.
