What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pine Grove

In the Pine Grove area, assisted living facilities may be classified as personal care homes or assisted living residences. These facilities in Pine Grove, and throughout Pennsylvania, are governed by the Department of Public Welfare and the Department of Aging, respectively, and they provide supportive services for seniors who need help with daily living activities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pine Grove

  • The overall cost of living in Pine Grove is about 15% lower than that of the average city, both in the state and the nation as a whole. Seniors who have limited means may find that this borough is a financially viable option for their retirement years.  
  • In Pine Grove, property crime and violent crime are both rated 13.3 on a 100-point crime index, compared to the respective national averages of 35.4 and 22.7. The city's low crime rate may appeal to seniors who enjoy being active in their community. 
  • Over the course of a year, high temperatures in Pine Grove range between 37 and 84 degrees, making it one of the warmer places in the state. The month of July tends to be humid, but humidity levels are low for the rest of the year, which may appeal to seniors who prefer dry conditions.  
  • The air quality in Pine Grove is on par with the national average at 61, meaning that its level of environmental pollutants is similar to that of the nation as a whole. Seniors who have conditions that may be worsened by smog or pollen may want to track daily air pollution forecasts.
  • In Pennsylvania, seniors don't pay income tax at the state level on retirement income, including that which is taxed at the federal level. This may let Pine Grove seniors budget more money toward assisted living services.
  • The Pine Grove area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Lebanon.
