What to Consider About Assisted Living in Denver
In North Carolina, assisted living facilities are called adult care homes and are licensed by the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Service Regulation. Around the state, Adult Home Specialists monitor these homes and work out of the local Department of Social Services. In Denver, these specialists would come from the Lincoln County DSS in Lincolnton.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Denver
- Denver is considered one of the most pleasant places in North Carolina when it comes to climate. It receives an average of 43 inches of rainfall each year, which is only slightly higher than the national average of 38. Plus, it only averages about 1 inch of snow annually, while the national average is 28 inches. The summertime high in July is around 89 degrees, and the wintertime low in January is about 29 degrees, which is about average compared to other places in the state.
- North Carolina is moderately tax-friendly toward retirees. Seniors benefit from an income tax exemption on all Social Security retirement benefits. However, most other types of retirement income are taxed, usually at a flat rate of 5.25%. Some tax breaks exist, including the “Bailey exemption” for military and many government retirees who completed at least five years of service by August 12, 1989.
- North Carolina ranks below 25 other states for having a lower sales tax rate. The state tax rate is 4.75%, and the state has an average combined state and local sales tax rate of 6.98%. Lincoln County’s combined total is lower at 6.75%, but the county’s taxes are still higher than 67% of other cities and counties in the state.
- Although Denver doesn’t have a local hospital, seniors won’t have far to travel, with three options within 11 miles or less of the city. Lake Norman Regional Medical Center is 9 miles away in Mooresville, and Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center is 11 miles away in Huntersville. Atrium Health-Lincoln is also 11 miles away in Lincolnton, and it was rated high-performing for treating COPD.
- Denver’s overall cost of living is higher than the national average by more than 14%, which can be a drawback for seniors living on a fixed income. However, health costs, which can be a major expense, are equal to the national average.
