What to Consider About Assisted Living in The Woodlands

Assisted living facilities in The Woodlands and throughout Texas are governed by the Department of Health and Human Services, which enforces the state’s senior care regulations. This may include regular inspections for licenses in communities where seniors require specialized health care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in The Woodlands

  • The Woodlands is a very safe city. Its violent crime rate is 16.2 compared to the U.S. average of 22.7. The city’s rate of property crime is 34.5 compared to the national median of 35.4.
  • The cost of living in The Woodlands is 12.9% higher than the national average. However, health care costs are 4.4 points lower than the U.S. benchmark of 100. Utility and transportation costs are also a little more affordable than average.
  • The Woodlands has warm weather year-round with no snow, which makes it easy for older adults to get around.
  • With 142 physicians per 100,000 people, The Woodlands has a lower number of physicians than the nationwide median of 210 per 100,000 people. However, the city’s proximity to Houston means it’s within close range of some of America’s highest-rated hospitals, including the Houston Methodist Hospital.
  • The air quality in The Woodlands is a little lower than average at 53, compared to the national index of 58, which may not be ideal for seniors with asthma or respiratory illnesses. The city’s water quality is a little better than average at 61, compared to 55, the U.S. water quality average.
