The Senior Score evaluates the quality of life for seniors in a particular city by compiling variables from government and private databases and sorting them into four relevant categories. Rome received an overall SeniorScore of 67, which is lower than the shared state and national average of 72. The city received identical scores of 60 in the General Quality of Life, Health & Safety and Finances categories, while earning a 58 in Recreation & Leisure.

Rome earned its score of 60 in Health & Safety because of the very high number of Medicare-registered physicians and home health care providers serving the area. There are also 16 senior living facilities, three hospitals and 68 pharmacies in close proximity to the city.
Rome’s score of 60 in Finances can be attributed to having low assisted living and nursing home costs, and property and city sales tax rates, compared to national averages.
