What to Consider About Assisted Living in Joppa

The former colonial town of Joppa served as a major fishing port in the early 18th century. Today, this city is home to nearly 13,000 residents, about 15% of whom are aged 65 and older. To support the local senior population, Joppa is home to two assisted living facilities, and there are over 50 more in the surrounding cities.

In Joppa, and throughout the state, assisted living facilities may also be referred to as assisted living programs. The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene licenses three types of assisted living programs, which are categorized based on the level of care they provide. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Joppa

  • Joppa seniors do not pay state income tax on Social Security benefits, and income from government pensions and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts are only partially taxed. Private pensions are fully taxable. This may affect how much money can be put toward local assisted living services. 
  • Overall, Joppa's air quality is subpar, which may be a concern for seniors with respiratory illnesses or cardiovascular disease. The American Lung Association gives Harford County, where Joppa is located, an F for ozone pollution but a B for short-term particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution. 
  • The Joppa area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Bel Air.
  • While the cost of living in Joppa is about 15% higher than the national average, it is a fairly affordable place to live compared to Maryland as a whole. Overall living costs come in about 10% below the state average, which may make it a good option for seniors with tight retirement budgets.
  • Over the course of a year, temperatures in Joppa range between 26 degrees and 85 degrees. To ensure year-round comfort, seniors may want to seek out an assisted living facility that provides individual climate control in private rooms. 
  • Safety in Joppa is rated 43 out of 100, meaning that the city's crime rate is lower than 43% of U.S. cities of all sizes, and its crime rate is lower than 48% of Maryland communities of all sizes. However, its crime rate is relatively low compared to similarly sized communities across the country, which may provide peace of mind for seniors relocating to the area.
