What to Consider About Assisted Living in Paoli
Paoli is a town located in Chester County, Pennsylvania, not far from Philadelphia. The town is famous for its role in the American Revolutionary War when it was the site of the Battle of Paoli. The town is home to an estimated 5,575 people, and seniors make up nearly one-quarter of the population. Within Paoli town limits, there are two assisted living facilities, and another 52 are located in the surrounding area.
Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services licenses these facilities as assisted living residences or personal care homes in Paoli and throughout the state.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Paoli
- In 2018, Kiplinger ranked Pennsylvania as one of the 10 most tax-friendly states for retirees. Most retirement income, including withdrawals from 401(k) plans, is exempt from state tax, allowing seniors to keep more of their money.
- Paoli’s cost of living is 29.5% higher than the nationwide average. The biggest factor influencing Paoli’s high cost of living is housing, which is a whopping 75.4% more expensive than the U.S. norm. Seniors in this town also pay more for other necessities, such as healthcare and transportation.
- Every year, Paoli receives an average of 203 sunny days and 120 days of precipitation. The town receives less snow than the national average, which may appeal to seniors who dislike winter weather. However, the tradeoff is that the town receives an above average amount of rain per year.
- Seniors can use the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority’s (SERTA) Regional Rail Service to travel to Philadelphia and other nearby communities. All SERTA routes within the state are free for seniors, though they need to apply for a senior ID card first.
- The Paoli area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Paoli Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Seniors who are interested in Paoli’s revolutionary history can visit the Museum of the American Revolution in nearby Philadelphia. Other nearby attractions include the Wharton Esherick Museum and the Waynesborough Historic House.
