What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pennsauken
Pennsauken, New Jersey, is considered a suburb of Philadelphia. The town is considered one of the premier locations in the Delaware Valley due to its accessibility to area bridges and highways, ideal for seniors with family in one of the larger cities of Wilmington, Philadelphia, or New York City.
Although Pennsauken is part of a large metro area, the township itself has a population of just 36,000, 14 percent of whom are seniors aged 65 and older. These seniors, as they age, may need to transition to assisted living. While there are no assisted living facilities in Pennsauken proper, there are dozens more in the greater Philadelphia area.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pennsauken
The state of New Jersey does not tax income derived from Social Security, although withdrawals from IRAs and other retirement accounts are subject to taxation on a sliding scale. Seniors on a tight budget may want to take this into consideration.
Pennsauken residents enjoy all four seasons with cold, snowy winters and mild summers. January lows dip into the tens, while highs in July rarely reach over 90 degrees. While seniors with health conditions aggravated by colder temperatures may be uncomfortable here, those sensitive to high heat may find relief.
The cost of living in Pennsauken is 92, compared to the U.S. baseline of 100. Housing costs at 65 are significantly lower than the rest of the country, compared to the national average of 100. These lower housing costs may make assisted living fees less too, as the cost of operations may be cheaper for the facilities.
Pennsauken residents may use public transportation provided by either the New Jersey Transit Authority or Philadelphia's Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA). These include both bus and light rail lines. Paratransport is available for both, and seniors may be eligible for reduced rates for both transportation departments.
Pennsauken, as part of the greater Philadelphia area, is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
