What to Consider About Assisted Living in Martinsburg

 

Martinsburg's assisted living communities are administered by the West Virginia Department of Health & Human Resources' Office of Health Facility Licensure & Certification. Assisted living facilities must keep their licenses current to ensure a high quality of care for their residents. The office conducts regular inspections and provides an online database with information about individual communities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Martinsburg

 

  • Residents of Martinsburg have many health care options. The Berkeley Medical Center offers primary, urgent and emergency care along with a variety of specialty services, including cardiology, a cancer institute, geriatrics, stroke care and surgery. For veterans and their families, the Martinsburg VA Medical Center provides surgery, cardiology, dentistry, chiropractic care and vision care.
  • Martinsburg's cost of living is low compared to the national average. The city scores 89.7 out of 100 for overall cost of living and also comes in below average for housing, utilities and transportation. This cost savings passes on to seniors through lower assisted living costs.
  • The climate in Martinsburg varies significantly with the seasons. Summers are quite comfortable, with a rating of 8.6 out of 10 on the comfort index. Winters rate 5.5 due to the cold and snow. However, assisted living communities provide excellent climate control features to keep seniors comfortable no matter what the weather is like. Since communities provide for most seniors' needs, residents can often remain indoors in inclement conditions.
  • Crime is one of the drawbacks of Martinsburg. Both the violent crime and property crime rates are above average. Violent crime stands at 23.1 compared to the national average at 22.7, while property crime rates climb to 67.6, far above the national average of 35.4. Assisted living communities are well aware of this issue and work to keep seniors safe through security features like video monitoring and emergency response systems.
  • Martinsburg's economy is generally steady, with a lower-than-average unemployment rate and a growing job market. Many of Martinsburg's residents work in health care and social assistance, so seniors will have less trouble finding the help they need.
