With the news that the average retiree can expect to spend $250,000 in uninsured medical care, and that the reward for living into your nineties can mean a health care bill of more than $400,000, it’s no wonder that people are looking for affordable health care when they retire. Many people are finding exactly what they’re looking for in Mexico, where the cost of health care is 50% to 75% lower in some cases than comparable health care services in the United States.
Because of its status as a tourist destination, Puerto Vallarta is a great place to find high-quality, affordable health and dental care. Finding good dental care in retirement is important because having access to good dental care is critical for maintaining overall health. Additionally, 50 percent of people over the age of 55 wear partial or complete dentures.
In addition to health care services, seniors can find affordable health care support, such as low-cost prescription drugs, eyeglasses, hearing aids and more. For seniors who are healthy and mobile, finding household assistance with laundry, meals, landscaping and housekeeping is easy. Puerto Vallarta has a willing and able work force. Such personal assistance is both common and affordable among the retirees who live here part-time or year-round. Seniors can also find trained assistants who can monitor the status of an older person or provide more skilled in-home care when needed.
Affordable health care is just one of the many benefits that retirees will enjoy in Puerto Vallarta. Having access to high quality, affordable health care means that seniors can spend more of their retirement savings on the things that make retirement enjoyable.
