What to Consider About Assisted Living in South Park

The Pennsylvanian township of South Park is graced with the South Park County Park, which is situated within the city limits. Seniors who enjoy nature have plenty to love in this city. This semi-rural community is located in the Pittsburgh metro area, where 17.7 percent of the population is made up of seniors, and they have 59 assisted living facilities to choose from in the area.

Referred to in Pennsylvania as assisted living residences (ALRs), these communities in South Park are regulated by the Department of Aging, Office of Living, Division of Licensing. They are defined as residences that assist four or more adults with personal care and medication assistance.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in South Park

  • The weather in South Park is usually cloudy and rainy, so seniors who enjoy the heat, dry weather or sunny days most likely won't find the climate agreeable. In mid-summer, however, the highs average 83 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • South Park's cost of living, which is 1 percent higher than the national average, is a bright spot for seniors living in the area. The cost of health care is especially noteworthy, at 89 percent of the national average. Groceries and housing costs are also low, at 95 percent of the average. Transportation costs are high, ranking at 25 percent higher than the average.

  • Taxes in South Park are also a positive note. The state totally exempts both Social Security income and income from retirement accounts, giving seniors more of their earnings come tax time.

  • The crime rate in the city brings more good news. Violent crime and property crime are both lower than the average rate in the nation. Property crime is significantly lower, at about 72 percent of the national average, making South Park safer than many places for seniors to live.

  • The Pittsburgh area is home to world-class medical facilities, including St. Clair Hospital and Western Pennsylvania Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Air quality in the South Park area is quite poor, as the neighboring metropolitan area of Pittsburgh ranks among the cities with the worst scores in the nation for high ozone, 24-hour particle pollution and annual particle pollution. Seniors with respiratory ailments may wish to consider this if they are thinking of living in the city.
