What to Consider About Assisted Living in Olney

Olney, Maryland, has grown from a quiet farming and cultural community to a busier suburb for city commuters. The town maintains a relatively small population of about 35,000 people, and around 13 percent of the residents are 65 or older. Olney itself has only four assisted living facilities for seniors, but the greater local region, including Silver Spring and Rockville, contains 59 more facilities, providing plenty of options for local senior housing. Facilities in Olney and throughout Maryland are licensed by the state's Department of Health to provide up to three levels of care, with level three being the highest level.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Olney

 

  • Montgomery County 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. 
     
  • The cost of living in Olney is 60 percent higher than the national average and 35 percent higher than average for Maryland, making it a less affordable city for seniors. The high price difference is primarily for housing and transportation. 
     
  • Seniors can save money on local transportation by using the public Metro or Ride On buses from Montgomery County Transit, which provide free rides or half-price fare to seniors depending on the time of day.
     
  • Olney has fewer days of precipitation than the national average, but the seasonal temperature ranges may be unpleasant for seniors who are active outdoors. The average winter low is 24 degrees Fahrenheit, and the average July high is about 87 degrees. 
     
  • Olney ranks in the top 14 percent of cities in Maryland and the top 28 percent of all U.S. cities for its low crime rate, which may help seniors feel more secure about living in the area. The chance of a violent crime in Olney is 1 in 1,190 compared with the state average of 1 in 212.
     
  • Olney has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Olney Swim Center, which offers reduced rates for seniors, and the North Potomac Senior Center in nearby Rockville, which provides a variety of recreational and educational activities.
