What to Consider About Assisted Living in Willow Street

Willow Street is located in southeastern Pennsylvania about 80 miles west of Philadelphia. The city got its name in the early 1900s because of all of the willow trees lining both sides of the main road through the city, some of which seniors here will still see standing today. The city has a senior population that makes up more than 42 percent of its total residents. To help support this population, there are two assisted living facilities located within Willow Street and another 32 located in nearby communities such as Lancaster, Lititz and Millersville.

In Willow Street and throughout Pennsylvania, assisted living residences and personal care homes, as assisted living facilities are known, are licensed by the Department of Aging

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Willow Street

  • Pennsylvania does not tax seniors on Social Security benefits, retirement savings account income or pensions, which could make Willow Street an ideal location for seniors with tight budgets.
  • The low crime rates in Willow Street may give seniors and their families some piece of mind. The city has a violent crime rate of 12.3 and a property crime rate of 22, both considerably lower than the national averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively.
  • The Willow Street area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Lancaster.
  • Seniors with COPD or asthma may have an easier time breathing in Willow Street than in other areas of the country. The city's air quality rating is 63 on a 100-point scale, five points higher than the national average of 58.
  • The cost of living in Willow Street is 108.8, higher than both the state average of 100.3 and the national average of 100. Seniors can also expect to pay more for groceries, healthcare and transportation than they would in other areas of the country.
  • Willow Street’s summers are warm with highs of 85 and the winters are comfortable with lows of 21. The city gets 43 inches of rain and 20 inches of annual snowfall annually, both of which could pose problems for seniors who rely on mobility aids. The sun shines over the city 198 days each year, seven less than the national average of 205, which still leaves plenty of opportunity for outdoor activities.
