What to Consider About Assisted Living in Crown Point

All assisted living facilities in the Crown Point area must file a disclosure form with the Family and Social Services Agency (FSSA) Division of Aging. If an assisted living facility offers medication administration or any nursing services, it must also obtain licensing from the Indiana State Department of Health as a Residential Care Facility. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Crown Point

  • Spring, summer and fall are all relatively mild in Crown Point, giving seniors plenty of time to spend outside, enjoying the weather. While winter temperatures routinely drop below freezing and snow is frequent, seniors living in assisted living communities don’t need to worry about clearing snow or ice, as ground maintenance is part of the service. The climate is ideal for seniors who enjoy a four-season year. 
  • Crown Point is very affordable for cost-conscious seniors, with a cost of living 0.8% below the national average. In particular, it offers low-cost health care and transportation. 
  • Crown Point seniors don’t need to worry about crime in this oasis of peaceful living. The property crime rate is only 20.3, which is well below both state and national averages, and violent crime is a rarity, at a rate of just 7.8. In addition, seniors in assisted living benefit from added security measures, making life in Crown Point idyllic when it comes to crime. 
  • Indiana is moderately tax-friendly toward retirees with a tax plan that doesn’t tax Social Security benefits. However, pension plans are taxed, though the state flat rate of 3.23% is on the low end for income tax. A low income tax rate and low property tax rate combine to make Crown Point a reasonably affordable destination for retirement. 
  • Crown Point seniors have good access to medical care with six hospitals within easy commuting distance. Advocate Trinity Hospital is about 24 miles away and is listed as High-Performing in Geriatrics, according to U.S. News & World Report
