A population of 7,454 gives DuBois a small-town feel, but the 18 percent of residents who are over the age of 65 have plenty of housing options, including three assisted living communities right in town and another 14 in nearby communities. In DuBois, as in all of Pennsylvania, assisted living facilities are regulated by the Department of Human Services’ Bureau of Human Services Licensing
