What to Consider About Assisted Living in Overland Park
Overland Park is the biggest suburb in the Kansas City area, which itself stretches over seven counties and across the state line into Missouri. This city of 183,775 people is home to 70 assisted living communities, which are regulated by the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services for health and safety. Seniors in Overland Park's assisted living facilities can expect room and board, as well as help with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing and personal care.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Overland Park
- As part of the greater Kansas City area, Overland Park shares its weather with the larger city to its north. Winter lows here dip to 18 degrees, while summer highs can get to 89 degrees. This region gets 34 inches of rain a year, plus a bit of snow in the winter. This can cause dry air in the colder months that some seniors have trouble with.
- The cost of living in Overland Park is generally higher than elsewhere in the nation, though the areas that most affect seniors can be more affordable than average. Groceries, for example, run about 98 percent of the typical national cost, while health care is just 96 percent of the average countrywide.
-
Kansas charges between 2.9 and 5.2 percent of income from work in taxes, but SSI and most forms of retirement income are exempt from income taxes in the state, which is great for pensioners. The rising sales tax on most goods takes a bite out of the monthly budget of aging citizens who shop for their own groceries and luxury items.
-
Crime in Overland Park has been falling for many years, and across most categories, rates are around three-fourths the national average. Seniors who worry about assault are especially safe; rates in Overland Park are less than one-third the national average.
- Seniors get a discount on travel through the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA). This public authority runs 89 regular routes across two states and seven counties, and aging citizens can get their senior ID passes from any of the service's public offices.
- The Overland Park area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Overland Park Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
