What to Consider About Assisted Living in Leawood

The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services regulates assisted living facilities in Leawood and the rest of the state and requires them to comply with rules for the types of services they provide, intake and discharge procedures and staffing.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Leawood

 

  • Leawood seniors whose annual adjusted gross income is $75,000 or less don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits. Similarly, seniors don’t pay taxes at the state level on their public pension income, but other forms of income are taxable at rates ranging from 3.1%-5.7%. Fortunately, programs such as VITA provide free tax filing assistance for seniors, helping them obtain the exemptions and deductions they qualify for.

 

  • Leawood’s overall cost of living is high, especially compared to Kansas’s norm. On a 100-point scale based on typical living costs nationwide, the city scores 106.2, notably higher than the Kansas score of 83.1. However, Kansas funds the Frail Elderly Waiver Program to promote access to affordable assisted living services for qualified seniors, which may help individuals pay for long-term care expenses in Leawood.

 

  • Leawood’s crime rate is high compared to about 70% of U.S. and Kansas communities, although it lines up with trends in similarly sized cities. Property-related incidents account for the majority of criminal activity that takes place here, with violent crime occurring at a relatively low rate. Assisted living facilities have security measures, such as monitored alarm systems and high-security locks, to promote residents’ safety and peace of mind.

 

  • Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute sits in Leawood proper, giving local assisted living residents access to high-quality treatment for back, neck and joint conditions. Additionally, there are several major medical facilities in nearby communities, including St. Luke’s South Hospital and Menorah Medical Center, both of which reside in Overland Park. These facilities provide emergency care, as well as diverse primary and specialty care services.

 

  • Leawood residents experience hot, muggy summers and chilly winters, with average temperatures throughout the year ranging from winter lows of 20 degrees Fahrenheit to summer highs of 88 degrees Fahrenheit. The city gets about 42 inches of rain annually compared to the U.S. norm of 38 inches, but the amount of snowfall is half the national average at 14 inches. Many assisted living facilities have amenities, such as unit-controlled thermostats, fireside lounges and indoor and outdoor activities, to keep residents comfortable.
