What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mapleton
Mapleton was first settled around 1870, and its early residents participated in farming and logging. Back then, the city was known as “Union Bench,” though it received its current name in 1901. Today, the small city is home to an estimated 10,000 residents, and 12.5% of them are 65 or older. Despite the city’s small population, it has two assisted living facilities to help seniors with activities of daily living.
The Bureau of Health Facility Licensing, Certification and Resident Assessment, a division of the Utah Department of Health, is responsible for regulating the state’s assisted living facilities. Utah’s assisted living facilities provide personal care services to two or more unrelated seniors.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mapleton
- Mapleton has a comfortable climate. The city receives 228 sunny days per year, while the U.S. average is only 205. Its rainfall totals, at only 21 inches per year, are nearly half the U.S. average. For seniors who enjoy playing golf or going for walks, this climate is ideal.
- The Mapleton area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Utah Valley Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Mapleton has a low crime rate. It’s safer than 70% of communities in Utah and 64% of communities across the nation. In such a safe city, seniors can enjoy a relaxing, comfortable retirement.
- The Salt Lake City-Provo-Orem metropolitan area was recently ranked among the most polluted cities in the country by the American Lung Association. It ranks 14th for high ozone days and eighth for short-term particle pollution. Poor air quality may be concerning for seniors with asthma and other lung conditions.
- The Utah Transit Authority provides a bus service that connects communities around Mapleton. Seniors can travel north to Provo or south to Payson, and they pay reduced fares. The Paratransit Service ADA program provides curb-to-curb service for seniors with disabilities.
- Utah came in seventh place on Kiplinger’s recent list of the 10 least tax-friendly states for retirees. The state taxes public and private pensions, distributions from retirement plans (like IRAs) and Social Security benefits. However, some seniors may qualify for a retirement-income tax credit.
