What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fairfield

Fairfield is a small historic town in south-central Pennsylvania, just a few miles southwest of the Gettysburg National Park and surrounded by bucolic family farms. Just over 20% of Adams County's 103,000 people are seniors aged 65 or over, and to serve them the town hosts seven assisted living facilities. The assisted living facilities in Fairfield, like those in the rest of the state, are inspected and licensed through the Pennsylvania Department of Human Resources Assisted Living Residence Licensing division.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fairfield

  • The weather in Fairfield is generally warm in summer when high temperatures average 86 degrees, and frosty in winter when lows dip to an average of 23. This part of Pennsylvania gets 54 inches of rain a year, which tends to raise pollen from the surrounding farmland and can trouble seniors with asthma or COPD.
  • The cost of living in Fairfield is somewhat higher than the cost seniors pay nationwide. On average, costs in Fairfield are 4% higher than the national average of 100, though local seniors typically pay up to 29% more than average for healthcare.
  • Crime rates in Fairfield are vanishingly low, making the town exceptionally safe for seniors. In all categories of crime combined, local rates are just 5% the national average. Even this low rate is skewed toward relatively minor property offenses, with violent crime being entirely absent in the town from one year to the next, and just two thefts being reported in the entire 2017 reporting period.
  • Public transportation in Fairfield is provided by Rabbittransit, which offers seniors and riders with limited mobility on-demand, regularly scheduled and paratransit services throughout the Adams and York areas. Seniors can share paratransit fares to local destinations, and all vehicles are ADA-compliant. 
  • The Fairfield area is home to world-class medical facilities, including WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Fairfield has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Adams County Office for Aging, Inc. (ACOFA), an organization that connects seniors in Fairfield with health education, nutritional services and caregiver resources, as well as three senior centers.
