    What to Consider About Assisted Living in Green River

    Green River, located in southwestern Wyoming, is most well known as the site of the annual Flaming Gorge Days festival. The small city has nearly 12,000 residents, and 11% of them are seniors. 

    For Green River seniors who need help with activities of daily living, there are three assisted living facilities located within city limits. Another four facilities are located in the nearby community of Rock Springs. The Office of Healthcare Licensing and Surveys, a division of the Wyoming Department of Health, regulates these facilities in Green River and throughout the state.

    Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Green River

    • Seniors in Green River may be pleased to learn that Wyoming was recently ranked one of the 10 most tax-friendly states for retirees by Kiplinger. The state has no income tax, so seniors who retire here can enjoy a low tax burden. At an average of 5.39%, state and local sales tax is also quite low.
    • STAR Transit provides a fixed-route bus service in Sweetwater County. It operates several senior-specific routes, so seniors can easily reach senior centers and shopping centers. A paratransit service is also available, and it provides door-to-door service by appointment only. 
    • In Green River, the overall cost of living is 7.3% higher than the national average. This is driven by higher-than-average housing and healthcare costs. The former costs 19.4% more than the national average, while the latter is 33.7% more expensive. With these high costs, seniors may have less room in their assisted living budgets.
    • Green River is much sunnier than average. The city gets 235 sunny days per year, on average, while the U.S. average is only 205 days. For seniors who live here, this translates to an extra month of sunshine. 
    • Green River has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Rock Springs.
    • Seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors may enjoy Green River’s attractions. For hiking, fishing and wildlife viewing, seniors can visit the Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge. At the 7.1-acre Expedition Island Park, they can walk, picnic or kayak. Another local attraction is the Sweetwater County Historical Museum, which has several thousand southwestern Wyoming artifacts in its collection.
