Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Plymouth
- The Plymouth area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Sheboygan.
- Some types of retirement income are fully taxable in Wisconsin, including money from retirement accounts and private pensions. However, seniors who receive income from Social Security or government pensions do not have to pay state income tax. Sales taxes in the state are very low, and there are no taxes on groceries and prescription drugs, which may help seniors budget more for assisted living.
- The Sperling index rates Plymouth's cost of living at 95, five points lower than the national average of 100. Seniors may be able to save money on some expenses, including groceries. However, healthcare costs are more than 11 points higher than the U.S. average, which may impact the budgets of seniors with regular medical expenses.
- Plymouth has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Generations Intergenerational Center, an organization that provides a vibrant and friendly community for older adults as well as two senior centers.
- Plymouth Arts Center is the arts destination in Plymouth. Senior art lovers can explore the gallery that showcases Wisconsin artists and join classes to create their own masterpieces. The city also hosts a number of cultural events including free Summer Park Concerts and the Cheese Capital Jazz and Blues Crawl for the Arts.
- Seniors interested in a sunny retirement may not appreciate Plymouth's cold winters. In January the low temperature averages 11 degrees and there are six months of significant snowfall each year. Summers in the city are mild, with an average high in July of 81 degrees, cooler than most places in Wisconsin.
