What to Consider About Assisted Living in Gloucester

Gloucester, Virginia, is a small town near the banks of the York River, not far from Yorktown, which is known for its role in the conclusion of the Civil War. Gloucester has a population of 9,402 residents, 19.7% of whom are seniors. These seniors are served by the area's five assisted living facilities. In Gloucester, as in the rest of the state, these facilities are regulated by the Virginia Department of Social Services. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Gloucester

  • The Gloucester area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Riverside Walter Reed Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Gloucester seniors can take advantage of Virginia's retirement-friendly tax initiatives. The state only partially-taxes private and public pensions as well as withdrawals from retirement accounts. Virginia doesn't tax Social Security at all. As an additional incentive, Virginia does not levy estate or inheritance tax. 
  • The crime rate in Gloucester is low. Violent crime is more than 10% lower than the national average with a rating of 12.3 out of 100, while property crime falls nearly 2% below with a rating of 33.7 out of 100. Seniors can talk to their care providers about additional ways to stay safe. 
  • Gloucester gets very little snow throughout the year, with just 4 inches on average. The town also has an average of 10 more sunny days per year than the rest of the country. This combination makes the town a good choice for seniors who want to avoid harsh winter weather. 
  • Seniors on a budget should expect to pay more on average to live in Gloucester than elsewhere in the country. The cost of living is 10% higher than the rest of the United States, with health care, housing and transportation costing seniors the most. 
  • Gloucester has historic attractions for seniors to tour, such as the Rosewell Ruins, as well as antique shops and a museum of history.
