What to Consider About Assisted Living in Wyncote

The historic district of Wyncote, which is located in Cheltenham Township, was established as an upscale residential area in the late 1880s. Since then, this community has grown to over 3,000 residents, with well over a quarter of the population being 65 and over. 

Area seniors have three assisted living facilities in Wyncote proper to choose from, and those looking for more options can find over 100 more facilities nearby. These facilities are categorized as either assisted living residences, which are licensed by the Department of Aging, or personal care homes, which are licensed by the Department of Public Welfare. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Wyncote

  • Ozone pollution levels in Wyncote are very high, which may be a concern for seniors with conditions like COPD or asthma. The American Lung Association gives Montgomery County, where Wyncote is located, an F for ozone pollution.
  • Wyncote seniors do not pay state income tax on Social Security income or money drawn from retirement accounts, and those who are at least 60 years old do not pay state income tax on income from public or private pensions. 
  • The Wyncote area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Philadelphia.
  • Wyncote is a relatively expensive place to live, with a cost of living that is about 30% higher than state and national averages. Healthcare costs are about 15% higher than in the nation as a whole, which may be a consideration for seniors who are managing chronic health conditions. 
  • Safety in Wyncote is rated 42 out of 100, indicating that the community has a lower crime rate than 42% of cities across the nation with similar population sizes. However, when compared only to communities with similar population sizes, Wyncote's crime rate is considerably higher than average. Seniors who are researching local assisted living facilities may want to find one with security features like alarm systems.
  • Summers in Wyncote last from late May to the middle of September, and the July high is around 86 degrees. The cold season lasts from early December to early March, and lows are in the mid-20s. This may appeal to seniors who enjoy experiencing four distinct seasons.
