What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lebanon
Lebanon, Pennsylvania, has been recognized as the second-least stressful city in the United States, which may appeal to seniors looking for a relaxing city to retire in. The city is located equidistant from Harrisburg, Reading and Lancaster and is home to around 25,000 people.
Around 13 percent of Lebanon's residents are aged 65 and older and there are 24 assisted living facilities in the area catering to the needs of this population. In Lebanon as well as the rest of Pennsylvania, these facilities are licensed by Pennsylvania's Department of Human Services' Office of Long-Term Living and are more formally known as Assisted Living Residences (ALRs).
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lebanon

- The Lebanon area is home to world-class medical facilities, including WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Retirement income from Social Security, pensions and retirement funds are exempt from state income tax for Pennsylvania taxpayers aged 60 and over. In addition, sales taxes in the state are relatively low, which may benefit Lebanon seniors who are on a fixed income.
- The overall cost of living in Lebanon is 82.5 on the Sperling index, 17.5 points lower than the U.S. average. This is due to the low cost of housing and everyday expenses like groceries are closer to the national median. Healthcare costs are more than 15 points higher than the national average, which may impact the budget of seniors with regular health expenses.
- Air quality in Lebanon County, including Lebanon, is generally poor. The State of the Air 2018 report gave the county failing grades for two of the three categories measured. Seniors with respiratory conditions may find their health impacted by air pollution.
- Lebanon has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Area Agency on Aging, an organization that develops and coordinates services that support older adults as they age, as well as more than two senior centers.
