What to Consider About Assisted Living in Goshen

Indiana's Department of Health regulates Goshen's assisted living facilities through its Residential Care Facility Licensing and Certification Program. All communities offering supportive services and administering prescribed medications require a license to operate within the state. Communities providing assisted living services without medication administration don't require a license but must register with the state's Family and Social Services Administration.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Goshen

 

  • Goshen has a low physician-to-inhabitant ratio, with 128 physicians to 100,000 people, 39% below the national average. However, the local Goshen Hospital, which specializes in heart and vascular care, orthopedics, diabetes management and cancer treatment, addresses the health care needs of the area's seniors.

 

  • Retirees have a 1 in 395 chance of becoming a victim of violent crime, slightly lower than the Indiana median of 1 in 327. Property crime is more common, with 27.9 people in 1,000 reporting acts of theft or burglary. However, assisted living facilities prioritize safety through investments in security measures, such as video surveillance, 24-hour staffing and gated entries.

 

  • The Interurban Trolley is the local bus service, with fixed routes connecting Goshen with Elkhart and the surrounding communities. Seniors receive a 50% discount on regular fares. Older adults unable to access public transportation or transport themselves can apply for the Council on Aging’s transportation service. Eligible seniors can request door-to-door trips to attend medical appointments and travel to other personal care services within Elkhart County.

 

  • Although Goshen's cost of living rose 1.3% between 2023 and 2024, the city is still 5% more affordable than the average U.S. city. Because of this, seniors in Goshen save significantly on everyday expenses, including utilities, housing and health care.

 

  • Goshen’s air quality has improved greatly over the years, with the number of high ozone days per year reducing by 20.5 since 1996 to below the 3.2-day national average. The city also experiences very low levels of annual particle pollution, which could benefit seniors affected by respiratory and cardiovascular conditions.
