What to Consider About Assisted Living in Charleroi
Seniors in Charleroi can enjoy perusing exhibits at the photography museum or visit the Riverside Place senior center to enjoy fitness classes and other activities with their peers. This age group makes up 18.8% of the town's 4,120 people, and some of them may need help with the tasks of daily living. To meet the needs of this population, there are two assisted living facilities in Charleroi and 16 more in nearby communities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Charleroi
- The cost of living index in Charleroi is 79.5 out of 100, which is 20 percent lower than the state and national averages. This is driven mainly by the cost of homes at 28, which is much lower than the state average of 89. This may indirectly lower the cost of assisted living since operating costs could be lower as well.
- Charleroi's violent crime rate of 38.2 is 16 points below the U.S. average; the town's property crime rate is 53.8, 18 points above the U.S. average. Seniors touring assisted living facilities may want to ask what measures are taken to assure residents' safety at the facility and during outings in town.
- In Charleroi, the average rainfall is 38 inches per year, which matches the U.S. average. However, the town receives just 17 inches of snow compared to the national average of 28 inches. This could be good news for seniors who don't mind a little rain but don't like snowy weather.
- According to the EPA's National Air Toxics Assessment, Charleroi's air quality is 34, compared to the U.S. average of 58. This may be an issue for seniors with COPD and other respiratory conditions.
- Pennsylvania seniors, such as those in Charleroi, don't pay tax on retirement income from IRAs, Social Security or 401(k)s. Pension income for residents aged 60 or older is also tax-free. This is good news for seniors on a fixed income and may leave more room in the budget for assisted living fees.
- Charleroi has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Monongahela.
