Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mitchellville

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.

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.
