Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lititz

  • Health influences and outcomes in Lancaster County, where Lititz is located, exceed state norms, with the county ranking 9th out of 67 counties in Pennsylvania. The local rate of preventable hospital stays is notably below state and national averages at 2,043 per 100,000 patients, compared to the Pennsylvania score of 3,024 and the national average of 2,809. Additionally, the life expectancy in this county is about 2 years higher than the U.S. and state averages at 80.
  • UPMC Lititz sits in Lititz proper and has a range of specialties and services, including cancer care, orthopedics and heart and vascular care. It also has veterans care services and provides coordinated care for all referrals from VA Medical Centers.
  • The overall cost of living in Lititz exceeds the national average by 7.5%, which may be a consideration for seniors seeking budget-friendly residential care. Fortunately, qualified seniors pay for some of the services they receive in assisted living through the Community HealthChoices waiver.
  • AARP ranks Lititz in the top half of U.S. communities with a livability score of 57, indicating a range of features and amenities for seniors.

  • Lititz residents aged 60 and over don’t pay state income taxes on any form of retirement income, making the city a financially viable option for many seniors living on fixed incomes. Although property tax rates run high compared to national norms, seniors may avoid this expense by living in an assisted living community.
  • Lititz ranks as safer than 84% of Pennsylvania and U.S. communities, and its crime rates come in well below what’s typical of similarly sized cities nationwide.
