This is a little higher than the cost of in-home care, which includes companionship and personal care services, and home health care, which includes personal care, along with skilled nursing services. Both of these options cost $5,482, but because they don’t include housing and meals, living costs may ultimately be higher for those who choose these options over assisted living.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Coos Bay

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Coos Bay

 

  • Coos Bay seniors pay state income taxes at rates between 4.75% and 9.9% on most retirement income. However, the state exempts Social Security benefits from taxation and provides a small credit to reduce what seniors owe on pension income, which may help some individuals afford local living and long-term care expenses.

 

  • Oregon ranks among the nation’s more expensive states to live in, but fortunately, overall living costs in Coos Bay come in well below the state and national averages. On an index set to a national norm of 100, Coos Bay scores 90, meaning living costs run 10% below the national average. By comparison, the state score comes in at 114.3, indicating that Coos Bay is one of the most cost-effective options for seniors.

 

  • Coos Bay ranks as safer than just 2% of neighborhoods nationwide, with a crime rate of 52 incidents per 1,000 people. The local crime rate exceeds the national norm, and both property and violent crime rates are relatively high. Fortunately, most of the crime is concentrated in just six neighborhoods, with the rest of the city offering relative safety.

 

  • Bay Area Hospital, which resides in Coos Bay, is a community hospital that provides a full scope of health and wellness services, including cancer care, diabetes treatment and emergency medicine. The hospital also provides geriatric services and offers telemedicine services, offering time-saving medical care solutions for seniors in long-term care.

 

  • Coos Bay has pleasant weather throughout the year with little variance in seasonal temperatures, appealing to many prospective assisted living residents who enjoy outdoor amenities. Daytime temperatures range from 52 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to 68 degrees Fahrenheit in the warmest part of the summer, and the area gets 64 inches of rain but virtually no snow.

 

  • Seniors in Coos Bay can obtain transportation services through Coos County Area Transit Department, which operates fixed routes throughout the region, as well as a Dial-A-Bus service. To promote access to services, the department offers half-priced fares to those aged 62 and over.
