What to Consider About Assisted Living in Forest Hill

Forest Hill is a rural community that grows some of the crops Harford County is known for, including grapes and peaches. Seniors who enjoy a glass of wine may enjoy visiting vineyards along the Piedmont Wine Trail, including Harford Vineyard and Winery.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Forest Hill

  • The Forest Hill area is home to world-class medical facilities, including UM Upper Chesapeake Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Air quality in Harford County, including Forest Hill, is mixed. The county received a B grade for 24-hour particle pollution in the State of the Air 2019 report. However, the county's high ozone pollution led to a failing grade in this category. Seniors may wish to investigate how this could impact their respiratory health.
  • Income received from Social Security is exempt from state income tax in Maryland. Although income from retirement accounts and public pensions are taxed, taxpayers aged 65 and older can claim a deduction. Private pensions in the state are fully-taxed. There are no city or county sales taxes in Maryland, so seniors in Forest Hill only have to pay the state rate, which is lower than the national average.
  • Forest Hill's overall crime rate is nine crimes per 1,000 residents, which is lower than 85% of Maryland's other towns and communities. Both violent crime and property crime are significantly lower than the state median, which may help seniors retiring to the area feel more secure.
  • Forest Hill has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Harford County Office on Aging, an organization that provides information and support to older adults, as well as one senior center.
  • The weather in Forest Hill tends to be comfortable throughout the year, with an average high temperature in July of 89 degrees and an average low in January of 25. The area has an average of six snowy days each year, allowing seniors plenty of opportunities to spend time outdoors, even during the winter months.
