What to Consider About Assisted Living in Kent
Originally dubbed Titusville, Kent began with just 793 residents and now supports more than 125,000. The Kent area has 54 assisted living communities scattered in and around the city near local parks, businesses and restaurants. Seniors who are mostly independent but need some help with personal care, such as dressing, bathing, and grooming, as well as medication administration may benefit from the support of an assisted living facility.
Seniors or caretakers who are hesitant about assisted living can reach out to the Aging and Long-Term Support Administration, which strives to prevent abuse, neglect and subpar care in Washington's assisted living facilities. This agency is part of the Washington Department of Social and Health Services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Kent
- Kent is in King County, which has poor scores from The American Lung Association. The organization warns that more than 273,000 King County seniors over the age of 65 run the risk of experiencing issues from the area's poor air quality.
- Crime affects many residents of Kent, Washington, because the city is only safer than 3 percent of cities in the nation. The risk of experiencing a violent crime is lower in Kent than in Washington as a whole, but residents have a one in 17 chance of experiencing a property crime. Property crimes include theft, arson and home or vehicular damage.
- The mild temperatures of Kent create a comfortable setting for seniors who enjoy outdoor activities. Temperatures typically range from 38 to 79, though greater fluctuations may occur during the summer and winter.
- The Kent area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Valley Medical Center and Kent Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Kent's cost of living exceeds the national average and the average for Washington state. Kent has a score of 132.2, with 100 equalling the U.S. average. This is still lower than nearby cities such as Seattle, Bellevue and Fairwood.
- Kent offers tax exemptions and deferrals for seniors who own personal property. An exemption requires an annual income of $40,000 or less, but seniors requesting a deferral can earn up to $45,000 per year.
