Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Schererville

 

  • Schererville's cost of living is about 4% higher than Indiana's statewide average but 12.7% lower than the national norm, with lower average prices for groceries, utilities and transportation. Housing is a bit expensive compared to Indiana's average costs. However, assisted living communities offer fixed monthly rates for necessities including housing and meals, which can help with affordability. 

 

  • Indiana fully taxes public and private pension income and retirement account withdrawals. However, Social Security retirement benefits are exempt from state income tax, and the state has low property taxes. These tax breaks can provide extra funding to use toward assisted living costs.

The city earns an annual violent crime rate of 0.88 per 1,000 residents, while the United States and Indiana rank at 4 and 3.14, respectively. Assisted living communities also utilize security measures, including locked entrances and 24-hour surveillance, to enhance resident safety. 

 

  • Schererville experiences warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with average year-round temperatures ranging from 19 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit. June to September presents the best weather for outdoor activities, although assisted living communities provide indoor amenities and events to keep residents entertained year-round. 

 

  • Health care prices in Schererville are nearly 14% below the national average. Residents also have access to 177 local physicians per 100,000 population. Although this ranks lower than the national median of 210 physicians, the city houses NorthShore Health Centers, a community medical clinic offering primary care and specialty services.
