Year-round warmth and sunshine, low taxes and an impressive array of senior services draw older adults to Sarasota, where more than a quarter of the city’s 55,000 residents are 65 or older. The Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida receives federal grants to help seniors live independently, eat nutritious meals and prevent sickness. Sarasota’s robust park system includes beaches, wildlife preserves and walking and biking trails, giving active seniors plenty of opportunity for outdoor recreation. The city gets over 250 sunny days per year and no snow, and despite its beachside location, its cost of living is only 8% higher than the national average.
To help seniors discover the most senior-friendly locations around the country, Caring.com conducted a new study, “The Best and Worst Places for Senior Living.” The Caring Senior Living Report analyzes and ranks 300 cities and 50 states on the quality of senior living in that area. The cities were graded using 46 metrics across five categories: Health Care, Senior Living & Housing, Affordability, Quality of life, and Transportation.
