Branson is a popular tourist destination in Missouri's Ozark region, where one in four residents are older adults aged 65 and above. Around 12,600 people call this charming community home. The city has a relatively comfortable climate with yearly temperatures ranging between 22 and 89 degrees.
Nursing homes are also known as skilled nursing facilities as they provide the highest level of senior care available. Residents benefit from constant care and supervision along with medical monitoring. These facilities offer personal care services such as bathing and dressing and skilled nursing services such as administering injections and maintaining medical equipment. Seniors can receive occupational, physical and speech therapies. Due to the institutionalized nature of nursing homes, they're suitable for seniors who need post-hospital rehabilitation or who need care for the long term and can't safely remain at home or in an assisted living community.
Below you'll find pricing information compared to the rest of the state and country. We’ve also included a handful of local resources for seniors and their caregivers.
A city’s SeniorScore shows how accommodating it is to the needs of older residents in four sections: Finances, Recreation & Leisure, General Quality of Life and Health & Safety. Branson received a SeniorScore of 76, which is four points above the state and national corresponding averages. Branson earned its highest score of 75 in Finances, a joint score of 70 in Recreation & Leisure and General Quality of Life and a low score of 54 in the Health & Safety category.
Branson is a very affordable city, particularly for seniors as care costs are well below the national average. Seniors breathe clean air and weather conditions are mild throughout the year. The area sees 209 days of sunshine every year. Branson is home to a large community of seniors who represent around 30% of its residents, with 25% being seniors over the age of 64.
The city’s low score in Health & Safety is partly due to its above-average crime rates. However, Branson is within easy reach of two hospitals including the Cox Medical Center Branson, and has a good number of physicians registered to accept Medicare. Seniors can pick up their medication from dozens of pharmacies and the city is home to many fire stations.
A semiprivate room in a Branson nursing home is $5,171, on average, each month, per the Genworth Cost of Care 2020 Survey. Branson is only slightly more costly for nursing homes than the state average of $5,080, and costs are significantly lower than the national average of $7,756.
