What to Consider About Assisted Living in Houston
Home to NASA’s Space Center Houston and the Johnson Space Center, Houston is a large, vibrant city in Texas that welcomes millions of international visitors each year. Seniors wishing to seek residency amidst the area’s diverse natural, cultural and historical attractions have plenty of options with the city’s 94 assisted living facilities and six more in surrounding neighborhoods. These ALFs provide assistance with activities of daily living and are regulated by the Texas Health and Human Services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Houston
- The Houston area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center and the Houston Methodist Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Houston is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
- Texas does not deduct state taxes on all forms of income, including Social Security income, retirement account withdrawals and pension earnings. With this retirement-friendly income tax policy, Houston seniors are able to set aside a large portion of their earnings for daily expenses.
- Seniors with chronic respiratory illnesses may experience health issues with Houston’s air quality. The American Lung Association ranks the Houston-The Woodlands metro area as the 15th most polluted metropolitan area in terms of year-round particle pollution and 11th in terms of high ozone days.
- METRO operates bus and railway services within Houston and nearby communities. Senior patrons 65 to 69 years are entitled to half-fare discounts, while 70-year-olds and above enjoy free rides. METRO’s accessibility features ensure safe, convenient rides for seniors and persons with disabilities.
- Houston’s high transportation cost (141) brings up its overall cost of living index to 105, higher than the national index of 100 and the state’s 102. In spite of this, seniors enjoy some form of financial relief with slightly lower grocery (93) and healthcare (94) costs.
