What to Consider About Assisted Living in Nazareth
Nazareth, Pennsylvania, hosts the Jacobsburg Historical Society, where seniors who are history buffs can enjoy historical exhibitions, or if they prefer a rock 'n' roll themed attraction, the Martin Guitar factory offers tours that make great day trips with family members.

In Pennsylvania, Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) are called personal care homes or assisted living residences (ALRs), which have different levels of care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Nazareth
- Seniors will be happy to learn that Pennsylvania doesn't tax income from Social Security or from retirement accounts such as a 401(k) or an IRA, and the state exempts pension income for those aged 60 or older. Property tax rates are somewhat higher than the U.S. average, but sales tax is relatively low.
- The cost of living in Nazareth is 109, compared to national and state average of 100, so seniors may spend a little more here than in other cities in the state.
- Nazareth's violent crime rate is 24.8 (100 is best), compared to the U.S. average of 31.1. Its property crime rate is 33.1, compared to the national average of 38.1, so seniors may feel a little more secure running errands and going to appointments in town.
- Nazareth air quality is 48 out of 100 (100 is best) and is 10 percent better than the U.S. average. This ranking is based on the EPA's National Air Toxics Assessment, which measures hazardous air pollutants down to the zip code level. Seniors living here may be at a lower risk of respiratory illnesses than in 52 percent of other U.S. cities.
- On average, Nazareth has 202 sunny days per year, just three days less than the U.S. average. Summer highs in July are 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and winter lows in January are a bone-chilling 10 degrees. Seniors sensitive to the cold weather may want to take that into consideration before moving here.
- Nazareth has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Area Agency on Aging, an organization that provides social services, recreation and meals for local seniors, and there are seven senior centers in the county, including the Nazareth Senior Center.
