Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Texas page.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sugar Land

Texas Health and Human Services sets rules for assisted living facilities in Sugar Land and the rest of the state to follow, ensuring a consistently high standard of care statewide. There are two types of communities, including Type A facilities for those who don’t require 24-hour monitoring and Type B facilities for those with more extensive needs. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Sugar Land

  • There is no state income tax in Texas, so Sugar Land seniors only pay federal income taxes on their retirement income. This may make it easier for some seniors to pay for long-term care bills and living expenses. 
  • Sugar Land is a desirable community with a cost of living that exceeds the national average by about 15% and the state median by over 20%. Miscellaneous expenses, such as restaurant meals and clothing, as well as groceries and transportation-related costs, are higher here than in most cities. Housing is particularly expensive, making assisted living a budget-friendly alternative to living alone.  
  • Crime is relatively uncommon in Sugar Land and may make local assisted living facilities a good option for those seeking a safe community for retirement. A 100-point crime index, which assigns higher ratings to communities with comparatively prevalent crime, gives Sugar Land a 7.6 for violent crime and 26.3 for property crime. This is notably lower than the respective national rates of 22.7 and 35.4.  
  • Sugar Land has warm weather year-round, with daytime temperatures ranging from 64-94 degrees. Early spring and late fall are the most comfortable times of the year, although summers are very warm with high humidity levels. Assisted living facilities organize indoor activities throughout the year to ensure comfort for active residents. 
  • There are four major medical facilities in Sugar Land, including Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital, St. Luke’s Health–Sugar Land Hospital, Memorial Hermann Surgery Center and Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital, as well as many more in nearby Houston. Health care costs come in about 7% below the national median, providing affordable care to those with fixed incomes. To further promote access to regular health care services, assisted living facilities typically have visiting physicians or licensed health care professionals on staff.
  • Seniors in Sugar Land get help with navigating the city and attending errands and medical appointments with Fort Bend County Public Transportation Services, a demand-response service that travels to points of destination, such as Texas Medical Center and Greenway Plaza. Assisted living facilities also provide complimentary or paid transportation services to residents.
