    What to Consider About Assisted Living in Rutland

    In the early 1800s, the city of Rutland, VT, got a boost from the discovery of really high-quality marble in the hills outside of town. The mines closed in the 1990s, but today the city is still big enough to host 15 assisted living communities for local seniors. These facilities are regulated by the Vermont Division of Licensing and Protection, which publishes guidelines and conducts inspections to ensure a high quality of care for aging citizens who need help with activities of daily living (ADLs).

    Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Rutland

    • Rutland's weather is typical of New England, with single digit temperatures in winter to around 80 degrees Fahrenheit in summer. Rutland gets 45 inches of rain a year, mostly in summer, when high pollen counts can aggravate seniors' asthma. A regular 74 inches of snow can also create cold, dry conditions seniors with COPD might have issues with.

    • Rutland has a relatively low cost of living in most areas, but some key expenses that affect seniors most tend to be higher than the prices paid nationwide. Groceries in Rutland can run to 5 percent higher cost than the national average, while the cost of health care is sometimes up to 14 percent higher.

    • Vermont charges an effective tax rate on income that runs from 3.55 to 8.95 percent. SSI and most forms of retirement income are exempt, however, so seniors can mostly get by without the expense.

    • Crime in Rutland has fallen over the years. It is now just a bit less than the typical national rates in most categories. Violent crime has always been rare here, though rates of property crime are still slightly higher than average for the nation.

    • The Marble Valley Regional Transit District is just called "the Bus" by locals, and it carries passengers on a single regular route around the center of town. Seniors and riders with disabilities qualify for half off the regular fare, but they must present valid transit IDs at the time of payment.

    • The Rutland area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Rutland Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
