What to Consider About Assisted Living in Great Falls

Great Falls, Virginia, is a great location for retired anglers looking for the perfect fishing spot, or seniors who just want to get back to nature. In fact, the city is home to over 1,900 seniors aged 65 and older. Seniors who might benefit from assisted living have two facilities to choose from within Great Falls city limits, along with another 48 located in nearby areas. In Virginia, including Great Falls, assisted living facilities are licensed by the Virginia Department of Social Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Great Falls

  • Social Security benefits are not taxed in Virginia, although pensions and retirement savings account withdrawals are partially taxed. This may help Great Falls seniors contribute more toward their facility expenses.  
  • The Great Falls area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Falls Church.
  • Seniors with severe breathing conditions like asthma or COPD may find that their conditions worsen in Great Falls. The city has an air quality rating of 55 on a scale where higher numbers equal better air quality, three points below the national average of 58.
  • Crime rates in Great Falls are low, which may make the area appealing to seniors hoping to find a safe city for retirement. The city has a violent crime rating of 7.7, over three times lower than the national average of 22.7, and a property crime rate of 18.1, almost half of the national average of 35.4.
  • The cost of living in Great Falls is 252.6, higher than the respective state and national averages of 113.8 and 100, which is something seniors with tight budgets may wish to keep in mind. Although seniors will pay less for healthcare in this city, they will pay more for groceries and transportation. Housing costs are much higher than the U.S. and state averages at 555.8, which is something family members thinking of relocating to the area might want to keep in mind.
  • Great Falls residents experience summer temperatures where the July highs reach 86 degrees and January lows hit 24. This might make the city more appealing to seniors who mind extreme heat and humidity in the summers.
