This department licenses two types of facilities, including Type A for ambulatory residents who don’t require nighttime attendance and Type B for residents who need mobility assistance and nighttime attendance. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Longview

  • Longview offers high access to health care services, making it a good option for those managing chronic conditions. It has about 243 doctors per capita, about 15% higher than the national rate. Over a dozen hospitals are located in or near the city, including Longview Regional Medical Center, CHRISTUS Good Shepherd Medical Center and UT Health Henderson.
  • Longview offers a warm climate with virtually no snow, which may appeal to seniors who rely on mobility aids. It has about 88 days annually, during which temperatures are at least 90 degrees, and 40 days with nighttime temperatures below freezing. Assisted living facilities often have individual climate control in residents’ apartments and suites, helping them stay comfortable throughout the year.
  • According to the most recent FBI data, violent crime is slightly more prevalent in Longview than in most Texas and U.S. cities, and property crime instances are considerably more common here than in other communities. This may make assisted living a better option than living alone for vulnerable individuals. 
  • Longview is a very affordable place to live, which may make it possible for older residents to maintain their standard of living throughout retirement. On a 100-point cost of living index, the city rates 18 points lower than the national average and 12 points below the Texas norm, indicating considerably lower living expenses. 
  • Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, so older adults in Longview only pay federal income taxes on retirement income. This fact may make it possible for seniors to put more money toward long-term care. 
  • The American Lung Association gives Gregg County a B for ozone pollution and reports that the number of high-ozone days has been consistently low for several years. While seniors sensitive to smog may want to track high-ozone days, the city’s air is generally clean. 
  • Longview Transit provides fixed route and paratransit services throughout the region, letting seniors attend errands and appointments without relying on private vehicles. Medicare card holders and seniors are eligible to ride for discounted fares.
