What to Consider About Assisted Living in Homer Glen

The Illinois Department of Public Health regulates assisted living facilities in Homer Glen and throughout the state. The Division of Assisted Living oversees all state licensure and survey procedures for these establishments.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Homer Glen

  • Homer Glen’s seniors may appreciate the low humidity and comfortable summers with highs around 84 degrees. They need to prepare for slightly more rain and snow than in many other areas around the country, though. The most comfortable months here are June, August and September.
  • Illinois does not tax distributions from most retirement income, including IRAs, 401(k) plans, railroad retirement or retirement payments to retired partners. Combined with a lower sales tax than in neighboring communities, this benefit can help Homer Glen’s seniors keep more money in their pockets.
  • Seniors in Homer Glen reside in one of the safest places to live in Illinois. The property crime rate here is 13.0, compared to the national average of 35.4. This town’s violent crime rate is 7.7, while the U.S. average is 22.7.
  • The cost of living in Homer Glen exceeds national norms by up to 42%, primarily due to housing expenses. Fortunately, health care is only 1% higher than the national average. The state may be able to help cover long-term care costs for some seniors through the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS).
  • Water quality in Homer Glen’s Long Run watershed meets EPA standards. However, the EPA lists Tampier Lake’s overall waterbody condition as impaired. Seniors here can enjoy good air quality, though.
  • World-class medical care is within easy access to this town’s seniors at facilities including Loyola Medicine Homer Glen. Silver Cross Hospital, less than 9 miles away in New Lenox, offers a wide range of emergency and primary care, outpatient testing, surgery and support group services.
