What to Consider About Assisted Living in Connellsville

Connellsville is a small city that sits on the banks of the Youghiogheny River in Fayettville County, PA. This city, which has a history that stretches back to the early-1800s when it was most notable for its coal-mining and metallurgical coke production, is home to just 7,500 residents. Of these, about 21 percent are over the age of 60. To support its aging citizens, the Connellsville area offers 39 assisted living communities, two of which are in the city proper and another 37 that are located in the surrounding region. These facilities are categorized as assisted living residences or personal care homes, depending on the level of care they provide. Assisted living residences are licensed by the Department of Aging, Office of Long-Term Living, Division of Licensing, and personal care homes are licensed by the Department of Public Welfare, Adult Residential Licensing. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Connellsville

  • Connellsville is an affordable city for seniors, with a cost of living that is nearly 18 percent below the national average. While this is mainly due to the low cost of housing in this area, seniors can expect to save money on health care costs.

  • The weather in Connellsville can be somewhat extreme, with hot summers and cold, snowy winters. On the Sperling’s Comfort Index, the city rates 48 out of 100. This may be a consideration for seniors who enjoy being outdoors.

  • Connellsville has a high overall crime rate that is 110 percent higher than the state average and 52 percent higher than the national average. While most assisted living facilities are outfitted with high-security locks, security cameras and alarm systems, this may be a consideration for seniors who are considering a move to the area.

  • Public transportation in Connellsville is provided courtesy of Fayette Area Coordinated Transportation, or FACT.  Seniors can show their Medicare care to receive half off of their fare. 

  • Pennsylvania fully exempts income from Social Security, retirement accounts and pension income for those over the age of 60, meaning that Connellsville seniors may have more room in the budget to cover the cost of assisted living.

  • The Connellsville area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Highlands Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
