What to Consider About Assisted Living in Bloomfield

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bloomfield

  • Bloomfield’s air quality is average, which may impact the comfort and health of those with certain medical conditions. The American Lung Association gives the region a passing score for annual particle pollution, a B for 24-hour particle pollution and a C for ozone pollution. Seniors who are sensitive to environmental pollutants may want to participate in indoor activities during high ozone days.
  • There are about 300 doctors per capita in Bloomfield compared to the national average of 210, which may make it easier for seniors to schedule appointments with medical care providers. There are no hospitals within Bloomfield proper, but there are several within easy driving distance, including Clara Maass Medical Center in Belleville and Hackensack Meridian Mountainside Medical Center in Montclair.
  • The Bloomfield Senior Citizen Bus is a free transportation service for those aged 60 and over. The bus follows a fixed route with predetermined pickup and drop-off times and locations, including banks, government offices and shopping plazas. This can help older adults supplement the paid services they obtain through assisted living facilities.
  • Bloomfield’s cost of living is a little higher than New Jersey’s average and about 30% over the national median, which may be a concern for those with limited retirement incomes. Housing costs, transportation services and miscellaneous costs, such as home repairs and entertainment, are expensive compared to the national average, but seniors may be able to minimize these expenses by transitioning to assisted living.
  • Crime rates are fairly low in Bloomfield, making it a great retirement option for active seniors. On a 100-point crime index, the city consistently scores lower than the United States as a whole, with a 10.8 for violent crime and 29.5 for property crime, indicating that crime is less prevalent here than in a typical U.S. city.
  • Seniors in Bloomfield don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, and single filers aged 62 and over with annual incomes of $75,000 or less and joint filers with incomes of up to $100,000 qualify for large deductions. This may help seniors with limited budgets afford long-term care.
