What to Consider About Assisted Living in Park Hills
The Park Hills area was settled in the early 1700s by lead miners. The ore deposits were so vast that they weren’t depleted until 1972. While the area isn’t a hotspot for mining anymore, it’s still home to approximately 8,500 people, and 10.3% of them are seniors. If Park Hills seniors need help with activities of daily living as they age, they can turn to any of the 12 assisted living facilities in the area.
These assisted living facilities, like those in the rest of the state, are licensed by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. They provide 24-hour supervision and care to seniors who require help with bathing, eating, dressing and other daily tasks.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Park Hills
- Seniors who are interested in the town’s lead mining past can visit the Missouri Mines State Historic Site. Mining equipment, mineral specimens and other items are on display in the museum. For swimming, hiking and picnicking, seniors can take a trip to St. Joe State Park.
- The Park Hills area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Farmington.
- Seniors who choose to retire in Park Hills can enjoy many tax benefits. Some seniors may be eligible for a private pension exemption, while others can receive a partial exemption. Many seniors don’t need to pay tax on their Social Security benefits.
- Park Hills experiences mild winters, with lows in the 20s. In a typical year, the city receives 11 inches of snow, which is much less than the national average — 28 inches. This climate may be ideal for seniors who are relocating from a colder, snowier part of the country.
- Compared to the rest of the country, Park Hills is a very affordable place to live. Its cost of living is 26.1% lower than the national norm. Seniors who live here can expect to pay lower-than-average prices for housing, transportation and groceries.
- The St. Louis-St.Charles-Farmington metropolitan area has relatively poor air quality, the American Lung Association (ALA) warns. Out of 228 metropolitan areas across the country, it was ranked 29th for high ozone days.
