Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pittsboro

 

  • Based on a 100-point index, Pittsboro's health care prices are about 4% higher than the national average. The city also has a lower-than-average number of local physicians, with 65 per 100,000 population compared to the national average of 210. However, residents have access to primary and specialty care services at UNC Chatham Park Medical Office, or they can visit nearby Chatham Hospital for further care. Many assisted living communities also provide limited on-site medical services such as rehabilitative therapies and wound care. 
  • North Carolina is moderately tax-friendly and offers some benefits for seniors. Although most forms of retirement income are taxed at a flat rate of 4.99%, all Social Security benefits are exempt from state income taxes. Residents aged 65 and older may also qualify for property tax relief benefits, receiving the greater of $25,000 or 50% of their property's value, which can help pay for long-term care. 
  • Pittsboro's cost of living is about 8% higher than the national average, making it more expensive than other areas of North Carolina. That said, assisted living communities offer fixed monthly rates covering most basic necessities, including housing, meals and utilities, which can be helpful for budget-conscious seniors. 
  • Based on a 100-point index, Pittsboro has lower violent crime rates but higher property crime rates than the national average, ranking at 21.9 and 36.4 compared to 22.7 and 35.4. Moving to an assisted living community can help seniors feel safer because most provide security features such as cameras and keypad entries. 
  • Pittsboro is in a humid subtropical climate zone, meaning it experiences short, mild winters and long, hot summers. Temperatures often reach 80 or 90 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer and rarely reach below freezing in the winter, but assisted living communities provide indoor activities for residents to enjoy during unpleasant weather.
