What to Consider About Assisted Living in Clemmons

In Clemmons, as in the rest of North Carolina, the NC Division of Health Service Regulation monitors assisted living facilities to ensure a consistently high standard of care. This division handles initial and annual licensing procedures and enforces regulations through scheduled and unannounced inspections. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Clemmons

  • Compared to the country as a whole, Clemmons’ cost of living is low, coming in about 7% below the national average. Transportation costs are especially low, with expenses such as gasoline and public transportation costing about 20% less than in the typical U.S. city. However, compared to the typical North Carolina city, Clemmons is expensive. Seniors may avoid relatively high housing costs by moving to assisted living.  
  • On a 100-point crime index on which a higher score indicates more crime, property crime in Clemmons is rated about 14 points higher than the national average at 49.1. However, the city’s violent crime rate is lower, which may provide peace of mind for seniors. This type of crime is rated at 20.9 versus the national rate of 22.7.  
  • Clemmons’ weather is cooler than the typical North Carolina city, which may appeal to those who enjoy being outdoors. Summers are hot with high temperatures in the upper 80s, and winters are chilly with lows in the mid-20s. The city sees about 44 inches of rain and just six inches of snow annually, and while July tends to be muggy, humidity levels are generally low for the rest of the year. 
  • Health care options are plentiful in Clemmons and may benefit those managing chronic conditions. There are approximately 344 doctors per 100,000 people compared to the national rate of 210. The region is home to Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center and Novant Health Medical Park Hospital, both of which are about 10 miles away in Winston-Salem, and Davie Medical Center in nearby Bermuda Run.  
  • Seniors in Clemmons don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, so those who rely primarily on that form of income may find North Carolina to be an affordable retirement option. Other types of retirement income are subject to the standard income tax rate, and property and sales taxes are moderate.

Seniors in Clemmons pay approximately $4,500 per month for assisted living services, making it a relatively expensive option for this type of care. By comparison, the North Carolina median is $3,800 per month, and nationally, the average rate is $4,300.
