What to Consider About Assisted Living in Coatesville

Coatesville, Pennsylvania, has been home to fur trappers, steel manufacturers and various factories during its nearly 250-year history beside the Brandywine River, nearly 40 miles west of Philadelphia. Originally, it had a population of one person who lived in a log cabin in what became the center of the city. Now, more than 13,000 people live in the city, nearly 1,200 of them aged 65 and over, who may benefit from assistance with activities of daily living.

Eight assisted living residences (ALRs), as they're called in Coatesville and throughout Pennsylvania, are in the area to provide support. They're licensed and governed by the Pennsylvania Department of Aging and the Department of Public Welfare.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Coatesville

  • The cost of living rating in Coatesville is low at 91.2 compared to the U.S. average of 100. Housing is especially inexpensive at only 49.6 compared to state and national medians of 88.7 and 100. Daily living expenses are comparable to state and U.S. figures. Healthcare is a bit higher at 114.6, but families may be able to compensate for higher healthcare expenses with the extremely low housing cost, which may be reflected in assisted living costs. 
  • Coatesville violent crime rate is 43.9, which is almost double the U.S. average of 22.7. The property crime rate is only one point greater than the national figure. Before committing to a prospective ALR, ask what type of security safeguards are in place to protect residents.
  • Pennsylvania seniors aged 60 and above pay no taxes on their income, including retirement accounts, pensions and Social Security benefits. This welcome exemption combined with an low sales tax rate may help families allot more money to assisted living costs.
  • Coatesville receives an average of 47 inches of rain and 32 inches of snowfall annually, compared to the U.S. average of 39 and 26, respectively. High temperatures climb to 85 in the summer and drop to 21 in the winter. 
  • Particle pollution is low in Coatesville, as evidenced by the "A" grade it was awarded by the American Lung Association. However, the city earned an "F" for high ozone levels. Seniors with respiratory diseases like asthma or lung cancer may prefer a location with lower ozone levels.
  • Chester County is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Chester County Hospital and Paoli Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
