What to Consider About Assisted Living in Kingston

Kingston is a borough in Luzerne County, in northeast Pennsylvania.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Kingston

  • The overall cost of living in Kingston is low, at 85 percent of the national average. Housing is particularly low at 58 percent of the national average, and utilities are the highest expense at seven percent above the national average. Management of heating and cooling costs will be essential for seniors living on a budget in Kingston.

Seniors who are already living in Pennsylvania may not have particular concerns about crime.
