What to Consider About Assisted Living in Brookings

Brookings, located at the mouth of the Chetco River on Oregon’s southern coast, earned its name in 1913 when it was a red-wood logging community. The name came from one of the California and Oregon Lumber Company’s owners, John Brookings. Since then, the city has become known as a popular community for retirees due to its warm coastal climate. This popularity is evident by the 24.2% of the city’s 6,336 residents who are seniors in the 65 and older age group.

Those seniors needing assistance with daily living activities may benefit from the four assisted living facilities located within the city limits. In Bookings and throughout Oregon, assisted living facilities and residential care facilities are licensed by the Oregon Department of Human Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Brookings

  • Oregon does not tax seniors on Social Security benefits, although it does partially tax pensions and fully tax retirement savings account income. Tax rates are something Brookings' seniors should keep in mind when preparing their monthly budgets.
  • Seniors can feel safe in Brookings. The city has a violent crime rate of 9.5, less than half the U.S. average of 22.7, and a property crime rate of 20.5, 15 points lower than the national average of 35.4.
  • The Brookings area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Curry Health Network and Sutter Coast Health Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Brookings has an air quality rating of 75 on a 100-point scale where higher numbers indicate better air quality. This rating is almost 20 points higher than the national average of 58. Seniors with respiratory issues may find that their symptoms are less severe in Brookings.
  • The cost of living in Brookings is 112.9, lower than the state average of 124.4 but higher than the national average of 100. Although seniors can expect to pay less for healthcare and transportation, which are both lower than the average, housing and grocery costs in the area are higher than the average. With pricier groceries and housing, seniors may find that assisted living facilities are more expensive as well.
  • Living in Brookings means summer temperatures of approximately 68 degrees and winter temperatures of about 41. Although the city gets 84 inches of rain each year, 46 more than the national average of 38 inches, the area only gets 1 inch of annual snowfall, 27 inches less than the national average of 28 inches, which might be of interest to seniors who don’t enjoy stormy winter weather.
