What to Consider About Assisted Living in Gwynn Oak

From the 1890s Gwynn Oak was home to Gwynn Oak Amusement Park.  The amusement park closed in the 1970s and the space is now a public park where seniors, approximately 16.7 percent of the population, may wish to stroll along the walking trails or enjoy a picnic by the pond.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Gwynn Oak

  • The Gwynn Oak area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Sinai Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Social Security Income is not subject to income tax in Maryland, while non-public pensions are fully taxed. Income from retirement accounts or public pensions is taxable but taxpayers aged 65 and over can claim a deduction. Sales taxes in the state are also lower than the national average, which can help seniors put more money towards their assisted living budget.
  • Baltimore County, including Gwynn Oak, is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
  • Public transport in Gwynn Oak is provided by the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA). Passengers aged 65 and over with valid identification are eligible for discounted fares on MTA services. Some seniors may also be able to access the MTA's MobilityLink Program, which offers a shared-ride, door-to-door service to people unable to use the fixed-route service.
  • Baltimore County, including Gwynn Oak, has mixed air quality. The county received an A grade for 24-hour particle pollution in the State of the Air 2018 report, but a failing grade for ozone pollution. Seniors with respiratory conditions may want to investigate how this may affect their health.
  • Seniors in Gwynn Oak who are interested in the arts have access to Baltimore's thriving art and culture scene. Some seniors may wish to visit the Maryland Film Festival or see a show by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Galleries such as The Baltimore Museum of Art and The Walters Art Museum offer art-lovers the chance to see both contemporary and historic works of art.
