What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hatboro

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services licenses all assisted living facilities in Hatboro through its Office of Long-Term Living. This department publishes all the licensing rules facilities must follow related to move-in and move-out procedures, care planning and staffing. It also fields and investigates complaints regarding substandard care or housing conditions.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hatboro

 

  • Seniors in Hatboro pay very little in state income taxes, which may help them afford local long-term care expenses. The state fully exempts Social Security benefits, as well as withdrawals from retirement savings accounts. Additionally, residents aged 60 and over don’t have to pay income taxes at the state level on their public or private pension income.
  • Hatboro offers comfortable weather throughout the year, which may appeal to older adults seeking to maintain active lifestyles. Daytime highs range from 39 degrees Fahrenheit in January to 85 degrees Fahrenheit in July, and residents see about 18 inches of snow and 48 inches of rain.
  • While there isn’t a hospital in Hatboro proper, the city is less than 5 miles away from Jefferson Abington Hospital in Abington and Holy Redeemer Hospital in Meadowbrook. Together, these hospitals have over 900 beds and provide high-quality surgical services, cancer care, cardiology and geriatric services. Additionally, many assisted living facilities in Hatboro have on-call physicians who oversee residents’ care.
  • The air quality in the Hatboro region is decent, with the American Lung Association reporting an average of just 7 days annually in which pollution levels are high enough to affect vulnerable individuals, such as seniors. The organization gives the region a passing score for its low particle pollution levels over an annual period, as well as a B for 24-hour particle pollution and a C for ozone pollution. This may support the health of those in local assisted living facilities.
  • On a 100-point crime index, Hatboro rates 19.7 for property-related offenses compared to 35.4 nationally and 8.8 for violent crime compared to 22.7 nationally. This indicates that both types of crime occur considerably less frequently here than in a typical U.S. city, which may make it a favorable option for seniors seeking long-term care in southeastern Pennsylvania.
