What to Consider About Assisted Living in Gambrills

Assisted living facilities in Gambrills are regulated by the Maryland Department of Health. The state’s assisted living regulations cover issues such as staffing, medication management, care types, and health and safety. Facilities are expected to pass regular inspections to ensure they meet the Department of Health’s standards and to maintain their licenses.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Gambrills

  • Gambrills is relatively tax-friendly for seniors. IRAs are taxed in Maryland, but Social Security and income from 401(k)s are not. This means that, depending on a person’s retirement plans, their income could go a long way in the city.
  • While the overall cost of living in Gambrills is above average, the cost of transportation and health care is below average for the United States. Seniors who reside in an assisted living facility typically have food and utilities covered as part of their monthly bills, which means they’re less affected by the cost of those items.
  • Crime rates in Gambrills are relatively low. The city is ranked in the 91st percentile for crime, meaning it’s much safer than the average city in the United States. Seniors should feel confident when they’re out shopping or running errands.
  • The weather in Gambrills is usually mild. The city sees lows of 24.7 degrees in January and highs of 87.9 degrees in July. The area gets about 44 inches of rainfall and 15 inches of snowfall each year. This makes Gambrills an attractive option for people who prefer mild summers and cool winters over the extremes seen in some other states.
  • Getting around Anne Arundel County is easy for seniors, thanks to the transportation services provided by the county’s Office of Transportation. Eligible seniors can take advantage of complimentary transportation services, and general paratransit programs are available for older adults who can’t use regular public transit.
  • There are lots of things for seniors to do in and close to Gambrills. Anne Arundel County has several senior activity centers that offer socials, classes, exercise groups and other activities for older adults.
