What to Consider About Assisted Living in Plano
With walking trails, parks, a boardwalk, a thriving arts district, live music and museums, it's no wonder why 23,055 seniors call Plano, Texas home. Some of those seniors may be in need of specialized care and Plano has 26 assisted living facilities available to support them.
In Plano, as in all of Texas, the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services is responsible for the licensing and oversight of assisted living facilities.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Plano
- Plano has a low crime rate which may help seniors feel safer at night. The city has a violent crime rate of 13, much lower than the national average of 22.7, and a property crime rate of 29.6, slightly lower than the national average of 35.4.
- In all of Texas, including Plano, seniors are not taxed on Social Security benefits, retirement savings account income, public pensions or private pensions, which could result in seniors having more money available for activities and care.
- Plano has poor air quality. The city has a rank of 55 on a scale where 100 represents the areas with the best air quality, three points lower than the national average of 58. Seniors with breathing difficulties might have a hard time living in Plano.
- Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) doesn't automatically offer free service to people over 65. Seniors must go to the DART Store to have a unique photo ID made for a 50 percent discount on fares. However, the North Central Texas Area Agency on Aging (AAA) provides many other free and low-cost services to seniors, including transportation when using public transit is not an option.
- The summer heat may be an issue for some who aren't accustomed to it, with an average high temperature in July of 94 degrees. However, winters are relatively mild, and snow is rare.
- The Plano area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital and Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
