What to Consider About Assisted Living in Festus

Festus is a small farm community that grew up along the banks of the Mississippi River during Mark Twain's time, and much of the town still keeps its clean, whitewashed demeanor. Only 1,200 people live in Festus, and 16% percent of the residents are seniors aged 65 and over.

Local seniors have their pick from among 12 assisted living facilities inside the city limits, with several more scattered throughout the southern St. Louis region. These residential care facilities are regulated through the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Regulation and Licensure, which inspects facilities across the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Festus

  • The weather in Festus is balmy and humid in summer, when the average daytime highs reach 88 degrees. Overnight winter lows average 21 degrees in December, when Festus gets roughly 11 inches of snow. Spring and fall in Festus bring 42.5 inches of rain a year, which frequently raises pollen and other allergens seniors sometimes struggle with from the banks of the adjacent Mississippi River.
  • The cost of living in Festus is not far from the national average for most items. Seniors in Festus pay 97% of the national median cost for many common household necessities. Healthcare is slightly more expensive here. Seniors pay an average of 1% above the typical national rate for healthcare and related services.
  • Crime rates in Festus are close to, but generally less severe than, the equivalent national average rates. Seniors in Festus face a 5% lower chance of witnessing or experiencing a crime of any kind than is the average nationwide. Local crimes are further slanted toward non-violent property offenses, rather than acts of violence.
  • Festus seniors can get around Jefferson County aboard one of the ADA-compliant vehicles of JeffCo Express, which provides scheduled bus service throughout the area. Riders with limited mobility and seniors aged 60 and over can ride JeffCo Express lines for a discount with a valid JeffCo Express Discount ID Card.
  • The Festus area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Mercy Hospital Jefferson, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Festus has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Mid-East Area Agency on Aging (MEAAA), an organization that offers food bank services, telephone reassurance and volunteer services for local seniors, as well as one senior center.
