What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mount Laurel

Mount Laurel is located at the New Jersey-Pennsylvania border and is named for the large hill situated at its main crossroads. Since the opening of the New Jersey Turnpike in 1951, the community has grown rapidly and is now home to about 41,000 people, roughly 18% of whom are seniors. 

In Mount Laurel, as in all of New Jersey, assisted living facilities are categorized as assisted living residences, comprehensive personal care homes or assisted living programs, depending on the facility's features and accommodations. Mount Laurel has two assisted living facilities, and there are nearly two dozen more nearby. These facilities, like all of those in the state, are licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mount Laurel

  • Mount Laurel seniors do not pay state income tax on their Social Security benefits, and while all other retirement income is taxable, those who are age 62 and over can claim a sizable deduction to minimize the expense. This may help some seniors afford assisted living expenses in this city. 
  • Mount Laurel seniors can access the city's senior/disabled bus service. This service, provided courtesy of Sen-Han Transit, operates shopping routes throughout the city every Wednesday. There is a small cost-share fee, and tipping of the driver is not permitted. 
  • The Mount Laurel area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Mt. Holly.
  • While the overall cost of living in Mount Laurel is about 17% higher than the national average, it is about 16% below the state average, which may make it a good option for budget-conscious New Jerseyans. 
  • Summers in Mount Laurel are very warm with July highs near 90 degrees, and winters are very cold with lows near 20 degrees. In spite of its cold temperatures, the region only receives about 13 inches of annual snowfall, which is about half the national average. This may appeal to seniors who rely on mobility aids. 
  • Seniors seeking a low-crime community for their retirement years may want to consider Mount Laurel, which has an overall crime rate that is notably below the national average. On a 100-point scale, the city's violent crime rate is 9.4, versus the national average of 22.7; and the property crime rate is 24.1, versus the national average of 35.4.
