To help seniors access care, many local assisted living communities provide regular nonemergency medical transportation.
  • Canonsburg ranks among the top half of U.S. cities for seniors due to its age-friendly amenities, scoring 61 points on the AARP Livability Index versus the average U.S. city rating of 48 points. It offers more age diversity than a typical U.S. community and has a strong economic outlook, and unlike most U.S. cities, it doesn’t report a shortage of healthcare workers.

Overall, the city’s cost of living comes in 3% below the nationwide average, which may bring down assisted living costs.
  • Canonsburg ranks among the safest communities in the nation, scoring 80 points on a 100-point total livability index. The city reports about four crimes per 1,000 residents during a given year. Both violent crime and property crime occur at much lower rates than in the state and nation as a whole.
