The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Lexington, SC

Image 1

Lexington, South Carolina, is a suburb of the state capital of Columbia. As a result, it offers a small-town feel while still giving seniors access to city amenities. The area boasts an array of outdoor attractions, including Lake Murray, the 55,000-acre lake with over 600 miles of shoreline to explore year-round. The town is in close proximity to Columbia, the state capitol, home to several museums, including the South Carolina State Museum, where seniors can soak up local history and culture, and the spectacular Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens, set on 170 acres. 

Lexington is an appealing retirement destination for seniors because of its cost of living, which is about 9% lower than the national average. Plus, South Carolina is a tax-friendly state for seniors. The state doesn’t tax Social Security income, and it offers a $15,000 deduction on other types of retirement income. An agreeable climate is another positive for seniors living in Lexington. The city averages 222 sunny days a year, which is more than the national average, and gets just one inch of snow annually. 

According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2019, assisted living expenses in the Lexington area average $3,248 a month. This rate is significantly lower than neighboring South Carolina cities such as Hilton Head Island, with an average of $4,184 a month, and Myrtle Beach, with an average of $4,050 a month.
