Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lancaster

  • Lancaster is rated as one of the most polluted cities in the United States by the American Lung Foundation. Lancaster was ranked eighth worst city in the "year-round particle pollution" category and 13th worst in the short-term particle pollution category. As such, seniors with respiratory conditions should be mindful about spending too much time outdoors. 

  • With an average annual high temperature of 63 and an average annual low of 43 degrees Fahrenheit, weather in Lancaster is generally mild all year round, and shouldn't cause many problems for seniors who are vulnerable to extreme temperatures. 

  • Lancaster has one of the highest violent crime rates across cities of all sizes. The violent crime rate is over double the national average at around eight per 1,000 residents compared to four per 1,000 nationwide. The rate of reported property crime is more than double the average of the state at around 36 per 1,000, compared to approximately 17 per 1,000. Seniors may feel at risk living in an assisted living facility in Lancaster as a result of these high crime rates. 

  • Pennsylvania doesn't tax pensions, Social Security benefits or any other types of retirement income. Therefore, it is a good choice for seniors looking to save money towards their assisted living accommodation. 

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

  • Lancaster has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Lancaster Neighborhood Senior Center, an organization that as well as two other senior centers.
