This program is designed to supplement a senior’s other income and can be received alongside Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Florida page.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Jensen Beach

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration oversees assisted living facilities in Jensen Beach, promoting a consistent standard of care across all facilities. It has a set of rules for care planning, move-in and move-out procedures, staffing and building requirements to support residents’ safety and comfort, and it investigates reports of substandard care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Jensen Beach

 

  • Florida doesn’t have a state income tax, making it among the most favorable places in the nation for seniors who rely on multiple forms of income for their retirement expenses. Because seniors don’t pay income taxes on any income, regardless of where they earned their retirement savings and benefits, they may be able to afford assisted living expenses in Jensen Beach more easily.
  • Jensen Beach has warm summers and mild winters, making the city a favorable option for seniors sensitive to cold temperatures. The hot season lasts from late May until late September and brings high humidity levels and average daytime temperatures close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool season spans early December to early March and has daytime highs around 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Jensen Beach’s cost of living is a little higher than state and national norms, which may be a consideration for some seniors. On a 100-point index based on national living costs, the city scores 106 compared to Florida’s score of 103.1. Fortunately, this is mainly because of high housing and grocery costs, which seniors may be able to reduce by opting for residential care.
  • Due to its size, Jensen Beach doesn’t have its own hospital. However, it’s conveniently located near several high-quality facilities, such as HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital in Port St. Lucie and Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital in Stuart, giving seniors access to a broad range of medical services. Additionally, many assisted living facilities have dedicated on-site office space and visiting physicians, making routine care and wellness checks accessible to residents.
  • Property crime occurs at a higher rate in Jensen Beach than in a typical U.S. city, but FBI trends show that this type of crime has been decreasing in frequency over the past two decades. Violent crime is also slightly more prevalent in Jensen Beach than in the nation as a whole, but like property crime, its rate has dropped fairly consistently over time. Many assisted living facilities have features such as escorted transportation services and security gates to keep residents safe.
