Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mitchellville

  • Health care costs in Mitchellville are consistent with the nation as a whole, but there are only 132 doctors per capita compared to the national average of 210, which may impact how long it takes to make appointments with primary and specialty care providers. The nearest hospital is Doctors Community Hospital, which is 5 miles away in Lanham. 
  • The overall cost of living in Mitchellville exceeds the national average by about 30% and the state median by about 18%. Housing costs are particularly high, coming in at about 60% higher than the national median, which may make assisted living a cost-effective alternative to obtaining care in a private home.
  • Property crime is a little more common in Mitchellville compared to the typical U.S. city, but violent crime occurs at about the same rate here as in other cities. On a 100-point index, the city scores 40.2 for property crime and 21.9 for violent crime, compared to national scores of 35.4 and 22.7, respectively. This may provide peace of mind for those seeking long-term care in the Washington, D.C., metro. 
  • On a 10-point comfort index, Mitchellville scores 7.4, indicating that its weather is relatively pleasant throughout the year. Daytime temperatures range from low-40s to high-80s throughout the year, and annually, residents see about 44 inches of rain, 28 inches of snow and 203 sunny days. To help residents attend errands and medical appointments regardless of weather conditions, assisted living facilities provide or arrange transportation services.
  • In Mitchellville, Social Security benefits and withdrawals from 401(k)s are exempt from state income taxes, public pension income is partially taxed and all other types of retirement income are fully taxed. This may impact how much seniors can put toward assisted living expenses.
  • The American Lung Association assigns Prince George’s County an F for ozone pollution but an A for 24-hour particle pollution and a passing grade for annual particle pollution. Mitchellville seniors with conditions such as asthma and heart disease may want to track high-ozone days and plan their time outdoors accordingly.
