What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lumberton

The Adult Care Licensure Section (ACLS) of the Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR) at the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) licenses and surveys Lumberton's assisted living facilities. The ACLS also administers the North Carolina Star Rated Certificate program for assisted living facilities, which provides seniors and their families with insights based on facility inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lumberton

 

  • Lumberton is home to Robeson County's only hospital, UNC Health Southeastern. This 452-bed, award-winning nonprofit facility provides urgent care and a wide range of specialized medical services to patients throughout southeastern North Carolina.

 

  • Based on FBI-reported crime data, Lumberton is one of the most dangerous cities in the United States. The risk of becoming a victim of a violent crime in the city is 1 in 41, compared to the North Carolina statewide risk of 1 in 247 and the nationwide risk of 1 in 250. The risk of becoming a victim of a property crime in the city is even greater at 1 in 9. However, assisted living facilities typically have background-checked staff on-site 24/7 and implement security measures, such as around-the-clock visitor monitoring systems and video surveillance, to help protect residents and their belongings from crime.

 

  • The AARP awards Lumberton an overall livability index score of 41 points, placing it in the bottom 50% of communities nationwide for age-friendliness. However, the city received an above-average category score of 61 for housing, indicating that its seniors have comparatively good access to affordable and accessible homes, including assisted living apartments.

 

 

  • Living costs in Lumberton are 28% below the U.S. norm. Housing, specifically, is 68.6% cheaper, contributing to the city's below-national-average assisted living facility rates. However, health care is 14.8% more expensive, which may concern seniors with complex medical conditions.

 

  • In Lumberton, daily temperatures throughout the year range from around 35 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and rarely fall below 22 degrees Fahrenheit or exceed 96 degrees Fahrenheit. While the long summers are hot and humid, the cold season only lasts a few months, and the city averages just 1 inch of snow annually.
