What to Consider About Assisted Living in Herndon

The Virginia Department of Social Services has robust licensing standards for assisted living facilities in Herndon and the rest of Virginia. The department also maintains a database of licensed communities in the state and provides an easy-to-use online reporting system for anyone with issues concerning a facility.   

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Herndon

 

 

  • As part of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, Herndon has moderate to good air quality for much of the year, which may reassure older adults with respiratory conditions. Seniors can also easily check real-time updates and the local pollen count before planning outdoor activities.

 

  • Residents of Herndon have four distinct seasons, complete with changing scenery and temperatures. Temperature-wise, summers are usually hot, with highs of around 86 degrees Fahrenheit, while winters are typically mild, with lows of about 26 degrees Fahrenheit. The conditions are often ideal for active seniors to enjoy local parks and outdoor leisure, and the area also offers abundant indoor attractions and amenities.   

 

  • Herndon has lower violent and property crime rates than national and regional average figures and is statistically safer than 34% of neighborhoods in the United States. 

 

  • Living costs in Herndon are high, with an overall cost of living almost 50% higher than the national average and about 45.5% higher than the state norm. Because local prices are significantly higher for housing, the fixed monthly fees of assisted living may help seniors balance their outgoing expenses. Additionally, older adults who meet financial and functional criteria may qualify for financial assistance via Medicaid waiver programs.
