READ MOREBedford offers the environment and features many seniors are seeking for their retirement years, including unique cultural and recreational amenities, easy access to health care and frequent warm weather. The lack of state income taxes makes living here affordable for many with fixed incomes, and multiple senior-specific public transportation options provide convenience while supporting seniors’ independence. Of the city’s 50,000 residents, about 16% are aged 65 and over, creating the need for long-term care solutions.
Assisted living is a preferred option for many seniors who don’t qualify for nursing home care but need help with daily activities. This long-term care solution provides private suites or apartment-style housing and includes daily meals, recreational activities and individualized care plans. On average, seniors in Bedford pay $4,195 per month for care. This is high compared to the state norm of $3,998, but it’s lower than the national average of $4,500.
Through this guide, readers can get more information on how local assisted living costs compare with rates in other major cities nearby, and find options for paying for services. This guide also includes a list of the top resources for seniors in the region.
