What to Consider About Assisted Living in Newberg

In Newberg and throughout Oregon, assisted living facilities are required to obtain licensing through the Oregon Department of Human Services. This department provides in-depth information on the services these facilities must provide, along with details on residents’ rights. It also operates an online portal where individuals can file complaints regarding abuse or neglect.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Newberg

 

  • Newberg is listed on the AARP Age-Friendly Network and is recognized as a senior-friendly city for its focus on livability, safety and comfort for older adults. It has a livability rating of 59, putting it in the top half of U.S. communities, for access to social and cultural amenities, public transportation and the high number of parks and grocery stores. This may make the city a favorable option for those researching assisted living options in the Portland region.
  • Newberg’s cost of living is about 23% higher than the national norm and 7% higher than what’s typical for Oregon, which may be a consideration for seniors with limited fixed incomes. Housing is expensive in this city, and residents tend to pay comparatively high prices for transportation, groceries and miscellaneous expenses, such as restaurant meals and clothing. Fortunately, many assisted living facilities have all-inclusive pricing, making it easy to anticipate monthly expenses.
  • Oregon fully taxes withdrawals from retirement accounts and doesn’t provide any exemptions or deductions. While the state taxes pension income, qualified individuals can claim a 9% credit to reduce what they owe. Additionally, Oregon exempts Social Security retirement benefits from state income taxes, which may benefit those who rely mainly on this form of income and are seeking assisted living in Newberg.
  • Crime, especially violent crime, is uncommon in Newberg, which may provide peace of mind to prospective assisted living residents. On a 100-point scale, the city scores 11 for violent crime, which is about half the national score, indicating that this type of crime occurs much less frequently in Newberg than in a typical U.S. city. Similarly, it has a property crime score of 25.5 versus the national norm of 35.4.
  • On a 10-point comfort index, Newberg scores 9.3, which is notably higher than the national average of 7.8, indicating that Newberg has pleasant weather throughout the year. Winters are mild with daytime temperatures in the high 40s, and summers are comfortable with highs in the low 80s. To make it easy to enjoy the weather, many assisted living facilities offer outdoor amenities and activities.
