What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sterling

Sterling started as a commercial center around the railroad but, over the years, has developed into a residential community of almost 28,000. Of these people, just under 10% are seniors aged 65 years or older, and the city has three assisted living facilities to help provide care. Another 20 can be found in nearby locations such as Reston and Fairfax.

In Virginia, assisted living facilities are referred to as either assisted living care or residential living care facilities. Assisted living care homes are equipped to provide a more involved level of care to residents. All assisted living facilities in the state fall under the responsibility of the Virginia Department of Social Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Sterling

  • Both sales tax and property tax in Virginia are lower than in many other areas across the country, which can help keep stretch retirement income. There's also a generous deduction for most forms of retirement income, and any funds from Social Security are exempt.
  • Sterling is serviced by the Loudoun County Transit system, which includes busses equipped with bike racks and those in wheelchairs. Seniors can get a SmarTrip card for discounts on fares. 
  • The low crime rates in Sterling could be a big draw for seniors looking for a safe place to retire. The property crime rate is almost 30% lower than the national average, and violent crime is 48% lower.
  • Sterling has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Loudoun County Senior Center at Cascades, an organization that provides opportunities for local seniors to get together to socialize and take advantage of the services and programs the center provides.
  • Sterling has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Leesburg.
  • Seniors in Sterling may need to be aware of some air quality concerns in the Loudoun County area. The American Lung Association gives the county an A rating for 24-hour particle pollution but only a C grade for ozone levels.
