What to Consider About Assisted Living in Riverview

A downriver suburb of Detroit, Riverview is a vibrant little town with a sizable senior community: 22.6 percent of the population is 65 or older. There are 19 assisted living communities in the Riverview area with 4 in the city itself and 15 more located in the surrounding area. These facilities offer seniors assistance with their basic daily needs such as eating, bathing and dressing while still allowing them to enjoy their independence. The official state terminology for assisted living facilities (ALFs) in Michigan is an Adult Foster Care Facility (AFCF), and they are governed by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), which divides them into six categories, depending on size and staffing, 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Riverview

  • Compared to the rest of the country the cost of living in Riverview is reasonable. At 10.5 percent below the national median, it is friendly to those seniors living on a limited budget.

  • Riverview is a much safer community than most of the state or country. Having a violent crime rate of 27.5 and a property crime rate of 24.9 it is a community where seniors can feel secure both in their homes and on the street.

  • The State of Michigan is not known for its balmy climate and Riverview is no different. Receiving on average 70 inches of precipitation each year and with temperatures that drop well below freezing, it is not a city for those seniors sensitive to the cold and damp.

  • The EPA's National Air Toxics Assessment gives Riverview an air quality rating of 67. This places it 9 points below the national average. Seniors with sensitive respiratory systems might want to take this into consideration.

  • Riverview has few facilities from which to choose in the event of medical emergencies or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Trenton.

  • The city of Riverview offers seniors several public transportation options.
    These include Trinity Transportation that provides discounted taxi service to seniors and those with qualifying disabilities sponsored by the city and Ride Smart that has fixed bus routes and provides limited curb to curb paratransit service.
