What to Consider About Assisted Living in Oxon Hill

Oxon Hill, Maryland, is located along the Potomac River, just inland from the MGM National Harbor. Seniors living in the area can enjoy picturesque views and easy access to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Oxon Hill has over 17,700 residents, more than 17% of whom are aged 65 and older. 

Seniors living in Oxon Hill who require round-the-clock personal care can choose from two assisted living facilities within the city limits. In Oxon Hill and throughout Maryland, assisted living facilities are officially known as Assisted Living Programs (ALPs) and are licensed and regulated by the Maryland Department of Human Services. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Oxon Hill

  • Assisted living residents in Oxon Hill obtain medical care from nearby hospitals, such as United Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and Inova Alexandria Hospital in Alexandria, both of which sit within 6 miles of the city. Additionally, many assisted living facilities have on-site wellness centers and on-call physicians who administer routine exams and help residents manage health conditions.
  • Prince George’s County, where Oxon Hill sits, outperforms national norms for health factors and outcomes but falls short of state trends. The region has a limited number of primary care physicians, with a rate of one provider per 2,020 patients compared to a state norm of 1:1,180, and only 40% of seniors get the yearly flu shot. Fortunately, assisted living facilities provide access to health resources through on-call physicians and on-site wellness clinics, promoting seniors’ health.
  • Oxon Hill ranks as an expensive place to live, with its cost of living outpacing the national norm by almost 21% and the state average by about 8%. Housing costs run relatively high, and residents tend to pay more for food, transportation and utilities here than in a typical U.S. city. However, many assisted living facilities have all-inclusive pricing and accept the state-funded Senior Assisted Living Subsidy Program, promoting affordability for those with budgetary considerations.
  • Oxon Hill ranks as safer than 12% of all U.S. communities, and crime occurs at a higher rate here than in other cities with comparable population sizes. In a typical year, the city sees 28 crimes per 1,000 people, including five violent offenses and 23 property crimes. To keep residents safe, many assisted living facilities have security gates and monitored entrances.
  • Maryland exempts Social Security income from taxation, and it has an exclusion for other types of retirement income, including pension income and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts. This benefit helps many seniors hold on to more of their income and cover assisted living expenses in Oxon Hill. However, it serves as the only state in the nation with both an inheritance and an estate tax, which impacts retirement planning for some seniors.
