What to Consider About Assisted Living in Wyomissing

Wyomissing, which was founded in 1906, is a borough in Berks County, Pennsylvania. The community has a variety of points of interest for seniors to enjoy, including the Reading Public Museum, where seniors are admitted for a discounted rate. This museum features numerous exhibits, a planetarium and a 25-acre arboretum.  

To support the senior population, Wyomissing has two assisted living facilities, and there are an additional 42 facilities nearby. Here, assisted living facilities are officially called "assisted living residences" or "personal care homes," depending on the level of care they provide. Assisted living residences are licensed and monitored by the Department of Aging, Office of Long-Term Living, Division of Licensing, while personal care homes are licensed through the Department of Public Welfare, Adult Residential Licensing

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Wyomissing

  • The cost of living in Wyomissing is about 7 percent higher than both the state and national averages. While seniors can expect transportation costs to be roughly the same as they'd be in other cities, they can expect to pay about 18 percent more on groceries and health care. 
  • Wyomissing's climate brings hot summers with temperatures in the mid-80s and cold winters with lows around 22 degrees. The region gets a little less snowfall than the nationwide average, which may be appealing to seniors who enjoy local travel. 
  • Berks County has poor air quality, receiving an F for ozone pollution and a D for 24-hour particle pollution from the American Lung Association. This may impact the health and quality of life of seniors who have respiratory or cardiovascular illnesses.  
  • Wyomissing seniors do not pay income tax on their Social Security benefits or income from retirement accounts. Additionally, pension income is tax-exempt for recipients over the age of 60.
  • Local transit in Wyomissing is provided by BARTA, which provides fixed routes and shared bus ride service throughout the region. Seniors ride all routes for free when they show proper ID. 
  • The Wyomissing area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in West Reading.
