What to Consider About Assisted Living in Knightdale

In Knightdale and throughout North Carolina, the Adult Care Licensure Section within the Division of Health Service Regulation licenses assisted living facilities. The department officially recognizes these residences as adult care homes or family care homes. It requires them to follow standard rules for operation and care and submit to regular inspections. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Knightdale

  • In Knightdale, seniors pay state income taxes on most forms of retirement income, including pensions and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts, at a flat rate of 4.75%. To promote livability for older residents and help many seniors afford assisted living, the state exempts Social Security benefits from income taxes, and it doesn’t impose sales taxes on prescription medications.
  • Crime occurs in Knightdale at a rate of about 28 incidents per 1,000 people annually. While the city reports a relatively high number of property-related offenses, with a rate of 25.58 compared to 20.00 nationally and 20.64 statewide, violent activity reports come in much less frequently at a rate of 2.08. To support senior safety, many assisted living facilities provide transportation escorts and have monitored surveillance systems.
  • The AARP Livability Index assigns Knightdale a comfort score of 56 out of 100, which exceeds the average U.S. city score of 48 and indicates a range of benefits for seniors. The city offers high access to cultural amenities, with about 2.6 institutions per 10,000 people compared to 1.9 nationally. It also provides a health-centered environment with a low preventable hospitalization rate of 31.8 and a high patient satisfaction rating of 76%.
  • The cost of living in Knightdale tracks about 16% over North Carolina’s average and 6% above the national norm, which may be a consideration for those with limited access to financial resources. Fortunately, the state funds waivers to help qualified individuals afford residential care.
  • Knightdale has hot, humid summers, with an average daytime high of 81 degrees Fahrenheit, and cool, comfortable winters, with daily highs around 52 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Many assisted living facilities have indoor and outdoor activities and amenities to support residents’ comfort and encourage an active lifestyle year-round.
