What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fishers
Assisted living facilities in Fishers are licensed and regulated through the Indiana Department of Health’s Division of Long Term Care. This division publishes information on the rules assisted living facilities follow, and it has online forms individuals can fill out to report a complaint or incident that happens in an assisted living facility.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fishers
- Compared to Indiana as a whole, Fishers has a relatively high cost of living. On a 100-point index, the city comes in about 5% over the national norm and over 20 percentage points higher than the Indiana average. While this may be prohibitive for some seniors, state-funded programs, such as the Residential Care Assistance Program, can help qualified seniors afford long-term care.
- Hoosier seniors don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, leaving more money in the bank for those who rely primarily on this source of income. However, pensions and income from retirement savings accounts are fully taxed. Agencies such as the Area Agency on Aging have advisors who can help qualified individuals obtain tax exemptions, such as the state’s exemption for military retirement income.
- Fishers’ air quality is decent, with the American Lung Association giving the city a B for short-term particle pollution and a passing grade for annual particle pollution levels. However, ozone levels are relatively high, with the region getting a D for this type of pollution. Assisted living facilities provide indoor activities, letting vulnerable seniors stay indoors on high ozone days.
- Crime is unusual in Fishers, with the city scoring 7.6 for violent crime and 17.8 for property crime on a 100-point index. This is considerably lower than the national respective norms of 22.7 and 35.4, which may make the city a viable option for older adults seeking a safe community.
- Fishers is home to IU Health Saxony Hospital, and there are approximately 421 doctors per capita. This is double the national average and may make medical services accessible to seniors managing ongoing conditions. Despite the city’s high cost of living, health costs are 15% below the national average.
- Fishers’ weather is relatively mild throughout the year with daytime temperatures between 34 and 84 degrees. This may appeal to those who enjoy spending time outdoors.
- Fishers is listed on the AARP Age-Friendly Network, meaning that it offers a comfortable environment for older adults. It rates among the top 50% of U.S. communities for its well-planned neighborhoods and health care amenities.Â
