Part of Florida’s Gulf Coast and the Tampa Bay metro area, Wesley Chapel has approximately 65,000 residents, 7,000 of whom are seniors ages 65 and older. The warmer year-round temps give seniors more chances to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, in places like Hillsborough River State Park or at the beach. Residents also have access to high-quality health care, from Tampa’s General Hospital to the local AdventHealth Wesley Chapel.
Some Wesley Chapel seniors, who require more medical care than what an assisted living community can provide, may need the more clinical, specialized care delivered in a nursing home. Nursing homes are meant for those who cannot live in a residential care facility or in their own homes. At the same time, they do not have an acute, life-threatening condition requiring hospitalization. Rather, they require the continual oversight of a skilled clinician such as an RN to see to their medication, rehabilitation or respiratory care.
This guide provides an overview of Wesley Chapel as well as the costs associated with nursing homes in the area. A listing of resources meant to address the needs or concerns of those living in or transitioning to a nursing home are also included.
Wesley Chapel has a SeniorScore of 76, which is equal to the Florida average of 76. Wesley Chapel scored highest for General Quality of Life, with a 77, followed by Finances, with a 76. Its lowest score was in the Recreation and Leisure category, with a 56.
As a Florida city, Wesley Chapel is known for its comfortable winters and beautiful blue skies, punctuated with intermittent heavy rainfall. This partly explains the city’s high General Quality of Life Score, as does the good air quality. The area is not densely populated, but residents do have a long commute time. Public schools do very well in terms of graduation rates and safety ratings.
Seniors living in Wesley Chapel can save money in a number of ways, the primary reason the city scored highly in Finances. Property taxes are low and while sales taxes are on par with those in most cities, the lack of any state income means seniors keep all retirement income tax-free. What’s more, Florida has no estate or inheritance tax. And while nursing home care costs are high, the overall cost of living is low, making the city a highly desirable retirement spot.
Wesley Chapel is within 40 minutes of some of the most highly regarded health care in the state, including Tampa General Hospital, rated high-performing in a number of specialties including cancer and geriatrics. The quality of life translates into longer life, with seniors in Wesley Chapel living longer than the national average of 78.6. And while Wesley Chapel has a smaller percentage of adults over 65, its proximity to Tampa means seniors can readily connect and interact with the larger community that is close by.
According to the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey, with an average monthly cost of $9,946, nursing care in Wesley Chapel is nearly 15% higher than Florida’s average of $8,669 and 23% above the $7,756 national median.
