Leesburg is a historic town on the Potomac River that’s home to an estimated 53,727 people. Approximately 8.5% are aged 65 and over, drawn in by the town’s laid-back ambiance, beautifully preserved historic architecture and access to excellent medical facilities. Leesburg and the surrounding area are also home to a plethora of wonderful farmers markets, breweries specializing in craft beers and shopping centers offering premium and everyday brands.

Seniors in Leesburg’s assisted living facilities typically pay $6,000 per month, which is 21.2% more than the state average and 33% above the national average.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Leesburg

The Virginia Department of Social Services regulates and oversees assisted living facilities in the state. Direct responsibility belongs to the Division of Licensing Programs, whose work includes inspecting licensed facilities to ensure they are complying with the conditions of their licenses. The division has the authority to revoke licenses from facilities that don’t comply with the Code of Virginia.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Leesburg

  • Sperling’s Best Places gives Leesburg a cost of living index of 149.7, significantly above the state average of 103.7 and the national average of 100. A major factor in this result is the area’s housing costs, reflecting the city’s desirability to homeowners. Of particular interest to seniors considering assisted living are the health costs, which at 99.3, are below the state and national averages.
  • Seniors are safer in Leesburg than in most other cities in the country. According to data published by Neighborhood Scout, property and violent crime in the city is less than half the national average. Seniors can also find comfort from knowing that assisted living communities typically have 24/7 surveillance and security systems for the protection of their residents.
  • Leesburg’s seniors have excellent health care facilities on their doorsteps and easy access to world-class facilities only 50 minutes away in Washington D.C. The city’s primary facility is Inova Loudoun Hospital, ranked #13 in the state and nationally ranked for the high quality of its neurological treatments and surgeries. Leesburg also boasts 123 physicians registered to treat Medicare beneficiaries. These include family doctors, orthopedic surgeons and cardiologists.
  • NV Rides is a network of organizations staffed mainly by volunteers who provide free rides for seniors in Loudoun County. Several local organizations provide drivers, such as Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers. All drivers are submitted to criminal and DMV checks and given one-on-one training prior to taking on their role.
  • According to Sperling’s Best Places, Leesburg has one of the most favorable climates in the area. Although its typical 200 sunny days is five less than average and its 42 inches of rain is above the U.S. average of 38, the city gets less snow, and its climate doesn’t fluctuate wildly like some areas of the country. Winter lows average at 23 degrees Fahrenheit and highs in summer regularly reach 87 degrees.
