What to Consider About Assisted Living in Saint Louis
Gooey butter cake, Imo's pizza and toasted ravioli are just a few of the tasty foods St. Louisians crave. Seniors who can't part with these foods can remain close to their hometown favorites by moving into one of the 112 assisted living facilities scattered throughout the St. Louis area. The Department of Health and Senior Services protects the safety of Missouri seniors by carefully regulating the state's assisted living communities, including facilities in Saint Louis.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Saint Louis
- The Saint Louis area is home to world-class medical facilities, including St. Mary's Hospital and Barnes-Jewish Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Seniors who prefer a mix of weather find that Saint Louis meets their needs. Average temperatures range from 25 to 89, with the coldest temperatures occurring during winter and the warmest during summer. Heat advisories may take place during hot, humid summer days, so air conditioning and fans are essential for seniors sensitive to high temperatures.
- Saint Louis is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
- The MetroLink and MetroBus make it simple to explore Saint Louis, whether seniors visit medical professionals or explore local attractions. Both of these transportation options offer discounted rates for seniors. Another option is the Downtown Trolley that has stops near Busch Stadium, Enterprise Center and the City Museum.
- Frugal seniors may appreciate that Saint Louis has a score of 88.7 on the cost of living scale, which is more than 11 points lower than the national average. Residents of Saint Louis have significantly lower housing costs than other parts of the nation, and they also pay less for groceries and health care on average.
- Saint Louis is one of the most dangerous cities in America. The city is only safer than 1 percent of other U.S. cities, so seniors should keep their doors and windows locked and avoid navigating the city alone when possible.
