What State Has the Best Healthcare for Retirees?
Healthcare is a top concern for many retirees, and choosing the best possible state for senior healthcare can impact not only your finances but also your access to timely, quality care. Among states where Acts Retirement-Life Communities are located, Florida, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina stand out for healthcare quality and access.
Florida ranks high in senior-specific care infrastructure, largely due to its high retiree population. The state is home to renowned healthcare systems like Cleveland Clinic Florida and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, offering advanced treatment options and senior specialties (U.S. News & World Report, 2024).
Pennsylvania is home to institutions such as Penn Medicine and UPMC, consistently ranked among the best for geriatric and complex care. The state also offers a wide network of home healthcare and rehabilitation services.
North Carolina has consistently ranked in the top 20 for healthcare access and quality, with Duke University Hospital and UNC Health leading in specialties relevant to aging adults (AARP Scorecard, 2023).
Of course, one of the benefits of Acts Retirement-Life Communities is that all 28 campuses provide onsite healthcare services on property, including assisted living, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation. If you and a spouse have different health needs, you can still be together. No matter which of these high-performing senior healthcare states you choose, you’ll have access to expert care every step of the way.
