What to Consider About Assisted Living in Richmond

Richmond is a suburb of Houston, Texas, located along the Gulf of Mexico at the southeastern part of the state. Seniors who enjoy the outdoors can enjoy the scenic views from the walking trails along the Brazos River, while those who like a slower pace of life will feel welcomed by the small-town ambiance. The population of Richmond is just 12,000, with nearly 15 percent being seniors over 65. There are 62 assisted living facilities in Richmond. 

Assisted living facilities in Richmond, as in the rest of Texas, are licensed and regulated by the Department of Health and Human Services. There are two levels of assisted living: Type A facilities house residents able to evacuate on their own in an emergency, while Type B facilities serve residents who need overnight care and need staff direction in case of an evacuation. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Richmond

  • Gulf Coast weather is hot and humid, with risks of hurricanes in the fall. Summers are long and hot and winters are mild with no snow. Seniors sensitive to high heat may be uncomfortable, but those with respiratory conditions alleviated by warmer temperatures should find relief. 

  • The cost of living in Richmond is 119 compared to a U.S. average of 100. Grocery costs and healthcare are slightly lower than the average. Housing costs in Richmond are nearly one and a half times the U.S. average, which may affect the cost of assisted living for some seniors. 

  • Violent crime rates in Richmond are slightly higher than the national average, while property crimes such as car break-ins and petty theft are about two-thirds less than the average across the U.S. Seniors may enjoy the small town feel of Richmond but are advised to take precautions, especially if traveling into Houston. 

  • Texas has no state income tax, meaning that retirement income and Social Security benefits are not subject to taxation. Seniors on a budget may have more disposable income for assisted living needs. However, other tax rates, specifically property taxes and sales tax, are among the highest in the nation. 

  • Richmond is home to world-class medical facilities, including OakBend Medical Center and Memorial Hermann, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Richmond, as a suburb of 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.
