    What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mount Pleasant

    Cozy Mount Pleasant is located in northeast Texas, a small community with 14 percent of the population over 60. There are six assisted living facilities in Mount Pleasant to accommodate this population. It's conveniently located off Interstate 30, approximately 100 miles east of the busy Dallas-Fort Worth area. 

    The state of Texas designates two levels of assisted living. Licensing depends on the residents' ability to evacuate without staff assistance in case of an emergency and the need for overnight care and supervision. 

    Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mount Pleasant

    • North Texas weather is hot, with July temperatures averaging around 93 degrees. Summers are long, and winters are mild, with January lows averaging around 33. Those who find warm weather alleviates health conditions will be comfortable here, but seniors who are sensitive to heat may need to take precautions. 

    • Air quality in Mount Pleasant is rated a 39, significantly less than the U.S. average of 58. Seniors with respiratory concerns are advised to stay indoors to avoid irritation. 

    • Mount Pleasant's cost of living is about 15 percent lower than the national average at 85.5. Housing is around two-thirds the national average, while grocery expenses and health care are just slightly below. 

    • The city's violent crime rate is 25.7 out of 100, while the U.S. average is 31.1. The property crime rate is higher, 58.5 versus the 38.1 national average. While much of the property crime rate is car-break-ins and petty theft, seniors are still advised to use caution and secure their belongings. 

    • Texas has no state income tax, which includes retirement income and social security benefits. This means more money for seniors to provide for their assisted living expenses. However, Texas has some of the highest rates in the nation for sales tax and property taxes. 

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