ResourceContactService

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cockeysville

Assisted living communities in Cockeysville are licensed by The Office of Health Care Quality, an agency operating under the Maryland Department of Health. This agency conducts scheduled and surprise inspections and handles complaints about care at assisted living communities throughout the state. It also ensures all facilities meet state regulatory standards. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Cockeysville

  • The Cockeysville cost of living is approximately 20.6% higher than the national average, but Maryland offers many programs to help seniors weather their changing financial situation. Seniors can benefit from property tax credits and subsidized transportation options. Health care is one area where the cost of living is actually on the low-end at 9.6% below the national average. 
  • Health care is an area where Cockeysville far exceeds most cities with three 5-star CMS ranked hospitals within easy commuting distance and a #1 ranking for health care affordability. Maryland is ranked 5th nationwide for health care, according to a study by WalletHub. 
  • Maryland has a history of tax policies that aren’t particularly friendly to retirees, but a recent tax reduction may reduce taxes for many seniors. While Cockeysville residents don’t pay taxes on Social Security income or disbursements from a 401(k), they may owe taxes on other income sources. The Retirement Tax Reduction Act of 2020 exempts the first $50,000 in income for seniors earning up to $100,000 per year, dramatically reducing tax liability for many local seniors.
  • The AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities includes Cockeysville and the rest of Baltimore County. Participation in this network means that the local government has committed to working with the community to improve livability for people of all ages. Baltimore County joined in 2019 and continues to enact policies with inclusivity at the forefront. 
  • Baltimore City may evoke images of high crime, but Cockeysville’s crime rates are substantially lower. Property crime is 14.4 points lower, and violent crime rates are 47.6 points below Baltimore’s. Seniors can also rest easy in assisted living communities which often have security systems and controlled entry.
