What to Consider About Assisted Living in Elkridge

The agency conducts background checks on prospective caregivers and sets minimum standards for care planning, staff training, building requirements and meal services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Elkridge
- The Regional Transportation Agency of Central Maryland operates fixed routes in the Elkridge region, helping older adults attend errands, medical appointments and area points of destination. In addition to the regular service, the company operates RTA Mobility, which provides curb-to-curb shared-ride services for those unable to ride the regular bus.
- The air quality in the Elkridge region is good, which may benefit older adults with breathing or heart conditions. The American Lung Association gives the region an A for 24-hour particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution.
- With year-round daytime temperatures ranging from 42 to 87 degrees, Elkridge ranks as one of the cooler cities in Maryland. On a 10-point comfort index, the city rates 8.3 compared to the national score of 7.8, indicating that a comparatively high number of days have comfortable temperatures, and humidity levels tend to be low. This may appeal to older adults who enjoy outdoor activities.
- Crime in Elkridge occurs at a rate comparable to the U.S. average. On a 100-point crime index, Elkridge’s violent crime rate is a point higher than the national score at 23.7, and the property crime score is nearly 10 points higher at 44.7. Seniors who are concerned about safety may appreciate the peace of mind assisted living provides.
- There are approximately 454 doctors per capita in Elkridge, which is more than double the national average and may support shorter wait times to see primary care providers and specialists. There are no hospitals within the city proper, but local seniors have access to numerous high-quality medical facilities in nearby Baltimore, including Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital and UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center.
- Maryland’s tax laws are fairly retirement-friendly and may help older adults put more money toward their long-term care expenses. Social Security benefits and withdrawals from 401(k)s aren’t taxable at the state level. Public pensions are partially taxed, and private pensions are fully taxed. Maryland is the only state with an inheritance tax and an estate tax, which may be a consideration for some seniors.
