What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lewisburg

All assisted living communities in Lewisburg and the rest of Pennsylvania comply with the Department of Human Services’ minimum standards for licensing and operation. This department enforces rules related to housing, the scope of services facilities must provide and minimum staffing and staff training requirements. It also investigates all complaints regarding personal care homes and assisted living facilities in Lewisburg.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lewisburg

  • Lewisburg has warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with average temperatures varying between winter lows of 21 degrees Fahrenheit and summer highs of 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The warm season lasts from late May through mid-September and has daytime highs between 75 and 84 degrees Fahrenheit, although some days reach highs of 92 degrees Fahrenheit, and conditions are humid 49% of the time. Daytime temperatures in the winter average between 35 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit, and seniors see about 23 inches of snowfall annually. 
  • Lewisburg is among the safest places to live in Pennsylvania, with a crime rate that’s lower than 64% of U.S. communities and 60% of Pennsylvania cities. Overall, residents have a 1 in 148 chance of being the victim of any type of crime compared to the national average of 1 in 43. Additionally, the local crime rate is well below what’s typical of cities with comparable population sizes, giving peace of mind to seniors researching local assisted living options.
  • Union County, where Lewisburg is located, ranks 3rd in the state for overall health, indicating high access to health care for seniors. The average life expectancy in this region is 82.1 years, which is notably higher than the state average of 78 years and the national norm of 78.5 years, and there are only 240 deaths per 100,000 people aged 75 and under compared to 360 nationally. These contribute to the county falling in the 75-100th percentile for health factors and outcomes compared to the rest of the state.
  • In Pennsylvania, seniors don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, pension income or withdrawals from retirement savings accounts, leaving more money in the bank for assisted living expenses. Additionally, the sales tax rate is among the lowest in the nation, and the state exempts food, clothing and prescription drugs.
  • Lewisburg’s overall cost of living runs 4.7% higher than the national norm, although seniors spend about 25% less on food and 15% less on housing. This may drive down the cost of local assisted living expenses and help seniors afford residential care.
