What to Consider About Assisted Living in Midland
Midland, TX, has been called "the Tall City" since the first exhausted cowpoke saw it towering over the horizon of West Texas' Permian Basin. The city is surrounded by tall mountains, too, which provide a scenic respite and creative inspiration. Seniors who enjoy this environment will find nine assisted living communities facilities in Midland.
These facilities are closely regulated for health and safety issues, as well as for staff training and quality of care, by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, which classes them as Type A residential care homes. Residential care facilities of this type offer room and board, plus as independent a lifestyle as residents' health permits. Assistance with activities of daily living, such as dressing and taking some medication, as well as emergency response from staff if it's ever needed is provided.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Midland
- Midland gets about 15 inches of rain a year and 2 inches of snow. Winter temperatures hit an average low of 31 degrees Fahrenheit, which calls for a good space heater in seniors' rooms during December and January. Summer highs average 94 degrees, when a fan is a useful supplement to the facility's air conditioning.
- Midland's cost of living is reasonable for most seniors. Groceries here average 92 percent the price paid elsewhere in America, while aging citizens' health care is close to 4 percent lower than average.
- Seniors with retirement income, as well as wage earners of any age in the state, pay no income tax on their earnings. There is a sales tax of between 6.25 and 8.25 percent, however, and seniors with their own cars pay a 20 cent gas tax on every gallon.
-
Midland crime stats run to about four-fifths the national rate in most non-violent categories. Violent crimes, including crimes against seniors, are even less common.
- Public transportation in Midland is the responsibility of the Midland Odessa Urban Transit District (hilariously called "EZ-Rider" by locals and transit staff alike). This network of buses and rail connections runs fixed-schedule routes and on-demand curb-to-curb trips that have to be scheduled in advance.
Seniors get discount fares on EZ-Rider, as do passengers with disabilities.
- The Midland area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Midland Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
