What to Consider About Assisted Living in Apollo
Named in honor of the Greek god and spelled the same forward as backward, Apollo, PA, is a borough of Armstrong County where 16.7 percent of residents are age 65 or older. Seniors considering a move into assisted living in the Apollo area can choose from at least 24 different top-notch facilities, including three in Apollo and 21 in nearby communities such as Penn Hills, Monroeville and Cheswick. Licensed as assisted living residences (ALRs) or personal care homes (PCHs), these facilities provide room, board and assistance with daily activities to four or more adults. While services vary by facility and are tailored to the individual needs of each resident, ALRs provide nursing home or medical levels of care, while PCHs don't.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Apollo
- Apollo’s climate tends to be cloudy and rainy, averaging 41 inches of rainfall and only 159 sunny days each year.
- According to the American Lung Association, which measures air quality indicators, Armstrong county receives a failing grade for ozone. This poor air quality may put residents’ health at risk and seniors with respiratory ailments may be at a higher risk than the general population.
- Apollo’s cost of living, at 20.8 percent less than the national average, makes it an attractive choice for budget-conscious seniors.
- In the state of Pennsylvania, retirement income, such as Social Security or income from a 401(k) or an IRA, is tax exempt. Pensions are also exempt for seniors over the age of 60.
- Unfortunately, at the time of writing, Apollo doesn’t offer a public transportation system. While some shops, doctors’ offices, pharmacies and banks may be within walking distance of assisted living facilities, the lack of public transit may make getting around town difficult for some seniors.
- For a small community, the Apollo area offers a surprisingly diverse art and culture scene, including shops, museums, wineries, historic sites, parks and community events.
