Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Waterford
- Waterford seniors who receive Social Security benefits or public pensions do not pay state income tax on this type of income, which may allow them to put more money toward living expenses, including assisted living services. All other types of retirement income are fully taxed at the state level.
- Transportation for seniors in Waterford is provided by Racine County Human Services. Residents may contact them directly to learn about eligibility and transportation services provided.
- The Waterford area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Lakeview Specialty Hospital and Rehab, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Ozone pollution levels in Waterford are very high, with the American Lung Association giving Racine County an "F" for this type of pollution. This may be a consideration for seniors who spend a lot of time outdoors or who have certain medical conditions.
- Waterford has relatively expensive housing, which drives up the city's overall cost of living and may result in higher assisted living costs. Seniors can also expect to spend about 7% more on healthcare than they would in the average U.S. city. Those who have limited retirement income may want to consider how Waterford's cost of living will affect their assisted living budgets.
- As is typical of Wisconsin as a whole, Waterford has fairly mild summers and cold, snowy winters. Over the course of the year, temperatures here range between 11 degrees and 82 degrees Fahrenheit, and the region receives about 39 inches of annual snowfall. Seniors may want to find an assisted living facility that features individual climate control in private living areas.
