Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pasco

 

  • The cost of living in Pasco is approximately 3% lower than the U.S. average and 20.4% below the Washington median, offering financial relief to seniors on fixed incomes. Although housing is slightly more expensive than elsewhere in the country, Pasco seniors can save on utilities, transportation and health care, contributing to an overall more affordable lifestyle.
  • Pasco has an air quality index ranking of 37, which is 12% better than the national index of 42, making it an attractive option for those prioritizing environmental health. Seniors with respiratory conditions may find Pasco more relieving than other Washington cities, due to its pollution index being 84% better than the state average, which supports healthier breathing and overall well-being.
  • Although crime rates in Pasco are lower than U.S. norms, seniors still have a 1 in 394 chance of becoming a victim of violent crime, and they have a 1 in 50 chance of succumbing to property crime. However, older adults moving into assisted living can be assured that communities employ additional security measures, such as video surveillance and gated entries, to ensure residents' safety.
  • Pasco experiences a varied climate that offers seasonal experiences, catering to a range of lifestyle preferences. Summer temperatures average 83 degrees Fahrenheit, occasionally hitting highs of 93 degrees Fahrenheit in July. The cold spell lasts for just over 3 months, but seniors can still enjoy outdoor winter activities in average temperatures of 28 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • At 75 physicians to 100,000 people, the number of physicians per capita in Pasco is low compared to the U.S. median of 210. However, seniors have access to excellent medical facilities and hospitals near the city, including Kadlec Clinic - Pasco Primary Care and the Lourdes Health Network and Medical Center.
