Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Greenville
- Greenville seniors reside in a tax-friendly state when it comes to retirement income. They don't pay state taxes on Social Security benefits, and Mississippi also exempts income from IRAs, 401(k)s and pension plans.
- The Greenville area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Delta Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Greenville’s overall cost of living is about 23% lower than the U.S. average, but this is primarily due to housing costs, which are about half that of the national average. Seniors find grocery and healthcare costs in Greenville equal to the national averages.
- History buffs delight in Greenville’s Delta Museum Mile. Seniors can spend days exploring this diverse collection of art, history, literature, Blues and children’s museums, all located near one another. These include the Highway 61 Blues Museum, Winterville Indian Mounds, and Museum and Birthplace of Kermit the Frog.
- A property crime rate in Greenville that’s nearly three times the U.S. average may alarm seniors and their families. On a scale of 1 to 100, Greenville’s 94.9 score is significantly higher than the national average of 35.4. Greenville’s violent crime score of 14.5 is lower than the U.S. average of 22.7. Ensuring personal care homes feature the latest in monitoring equipment and security systems is recommended.
- Despite its average annual rainfall of 53 inches, Greenville is one of the driest places in Mississippi. The city typically experiences 71 days annually on which the temperature exceeds 90 degrees. Seniors seeking a dry, moderate year-round climate may want to consider whether Greenville’s hot summers and wet springs would be hard to endure.
