Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Creve Coeur

  • St. Louis County, where Creve Coeur sits, ranks better than the average county in the state and nation for health factors and outcomes. The region has a high rate of flu vaccinations among Medicare beneficiaries, helping to reduce the spread of seasonal illnesses in local assisted living facilities. Its ratio of primary care providers to residents is 1:820, comparing favorably to the state norm of 1:1,420.
  • Creve Coeur scores 55 points on the AARP Livability Index, making it a more favorable option for seniors than a typical U.S. city. It has a solid score in the index’s Health category, earning a mark of 67 for factors such as high access to indoor and outdoor exercise opportunities. Additionally, unlike most communities, this region doesn’t report a lack of health care workers, which may enable assisted living residents to get the medical support they need.
  • Missouri taxes withdrawals from retirement savings accounts as regular income, although seniors whose adjusted income falls below $25,000 qualify for an exemption. The state offers deductions for pension income, and it doesn’t impose income taxes on Social Security benefits for those aged 62 and over. This benefit may help some seniors afford local assisted living expenses.
  • Creve Coeur ranks among the more expensive places to live in Missouri, but its cost of living compares favorably to the U.S. average. On a cost of living index based on national norms, the city scores 93.1 points. Although housing is expensive here, which may impact assisted living costs, health care expenses run about 4% below the national average and may benefit seniors with chronic health conditions.
  • The safest neighborhoods in Creve Coeur include City Center, Fernwood and Creve Coeur West, which provide options for seniors and families who prioritize peace of mind. Overall, the city sees about 21 crimes per 1,000 people annually. To reduce residents’ risk of becoming victims of crime, many assisted living communities have surveillance cameras.
