What to Consider About Assisted Living in Brownwood

Active seniors qualify for discount rates at the Hideout Golf Club, the 18-hole, 7,000-yard golf course that is the main attraction in Brownwood, TX. Residents of the town's two assisted living communities can also spend their days visiting museums and lush public parks downtown before heading home to facilities regulated by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services for health and safety, quality of care and staff training. Seniors here can expect room and board for their monthly fees, as well as emergency response if necessary and help with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing and meal prep from staff who are on call 24 hours a day.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Brownwood

  • Weather in Brownwood can cause issues for seniors with respiratory problems when the winter lows dip to 30 degrees Fahrenheit and the air gets dry. Summer highs average 96 degrees with regular high humidity, however, and the wet season here can bring 30 inches of rain.

  • The cost of living in Brownwood is a little lower than in similar cities nationwide. Seniors who buy groceries for themselves can expect to pay just 91 percent of the national average, while health care costs are 3 percent cheaper in Brownwood.

  • There's no income tax in Texas, so seniors' pensions and retirement income goes a little farther than it would in most other states. Texas does impose a sales tax of between 6.25 and 8.25 percent, however, and aging citizens with cars of their own can expect to pay an extra 20 cents per gallon at the pump.

  • Crime is down somewhat in Brownwood, from highs just above the national average in 2012, to slightly lower than average in 2017. Most of Brownwood's crimes are property related, with violent crime rates significantly lower than average for the United States in general.

  • The Central Texas Rural Transit District operates City and Rural Rides (CARR) in Brownwood. All rides are scheduled in advance, anyone can call for service and pickup/drop-off locations are up to the rider. CARR requires booking at least two days in advance, and riders with disabilities should ask about ADA-compliant vehicles.

  • The Brownwood area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Brownwood Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
