What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lititz
Lititz was founded by Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf, a German aristocrat, in 1742. Another German connection is the Julius Sturgis Pretzel bakery. Founded in 1861, it is the oldest commercial pretzel bakery, and hungry seniors can still enjoy a pretzel there today. The town is home to around 9,000 people, and more than 22% of the population is aged 65 and over.
There are 45 assisted living facilities in Lititz and the nearby communities that offer accommodation to seniors who are mostly independent but may want extra help with some activities of daily living. In Lititz, assisted living facilities are known as Assisted Living Residences. They're licensed and monitored by Pennsylvania's Department of Human Services Office of Long-Term Living.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lititz
- All forms of retirement income in Pennsylvania are exempt from income tax for taxpayers aged 60 and over. This includes Social Security, pensions and retirement accounts. Seniors can save additional money on sales tax as everyday items including groceries, clothing and prescription medicines are exempt.
- Lancaster County, including Lititz, has poor air quality. Although the county received a pass grade for annual particle pollution from the State of the Air 2018 report, it received failing grades for both ozone and 24-hour particle pollution. Seniors with respiratory conditions may wish to investigate how this will impact their health.
- The Lititz area is home to world-class medical facilities, including UPMC Pinnacle Lititz, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Lititz has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Lancaster County Office of Aging, an organization that provides assistance to older adults and helps them maintain dignity and independence as well as one senior center.
- Red Rose Transit Authority provides public transportation in Lititz and passengers aged 65 and over can ride for free. RRTA also has a number of programs available for people unable to use the fixed-route service, which some seniors may be able to utilize.
- Lititz has an overall crime rate of just 5 crimes per 1,000 residents. This is lower than 90% of communities in America. The violent crime rate is 0.42, more than 2.5 points lower than the Pennsylvania rate. Property crime is also low, with a rate of 4.57, almost 12 points lower than the state rate of 16.49. Seniors who are concerned with safety may find this reassuring.
