What to Consider About Assisted Living in Summit

All assisted living facilities in Summit are licensed through the New Jersey Department of Health.

It monitors compliance with these rules through an initial and annual licensing process and routine site inspections. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Summit

 

  • Summit is a welcoming city for seniors and is listed on the AARP Age-Friendly Network, meaning that its leaders have passed laws that foster a comfortable environment for older residents. The city has a livability score of 61, putting it in the top 40% of U.S. communities for amenities such as grocery stores and farmers’ markets, libraries and municipal parks.
  • New Jersey doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, and while other forms of income are taxable, those aged 62 and over can claim a deduction of up to $75,000 to reduce what they owe to the state. This may help some seniors afford retirement and long-term care expenses in Summit.
  • Summit has one hospital, Overlook Medical Center, promoting access to a broad range of primary and specialty care services for area seniors. This hospital is nationally recognized for its neuroscience program and offers some of the leading doctors and most sophisticated treatments in the state.
  • As is typical of the rest of New Jersey, Summit offers warm summers and cold, snowy winters. During the summer months, daytime highs fall between 76 degrees Fahrenheit and 86 degrees Fahrenheit, and there’s a 29% chance of rain on any given day. Daytime temperatures in the winter are generally around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and snow is typically seen from mid-November to early April.
  • The American Lung Association gives Union County, where Summit is located, a B for 24-hour particle pollution. This score indicates a relatively low number of days with a high concentration of pollutants in the air. This may benefit seniors living in or considering local assisted living facilities.
  • Seniors can obtain transportation services through Senior Connections, Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides bus services throughout the region. Riders should make reservations at least a day in advance by calling the main office at (908) 277-2932. This can supplement the transportation services available through assisted living facilities.
