The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Taylor, MI for 2024

Taylor is a small city known for its natural areas, including public fishing ponds and wooded walking trails. About 62,260 people live in the area, and seniors represent 15.2% of the population. Seniors may appreciate the city's relatively low cost of living and its proximity to health facilities such as Henry Ford Medical Center.

As people age, many require assistance with tasks such as dressing and remembering to take medications. Chores such as cooking and laundry can also become difficult, and many seniors may prefer a maintenance-free lifestyle. Assisted living communities offer a long-term solution to these issues. With 24/7 caregiver support and general housekeeping services, these residential facilities help seniors manage day-to-day tasks while still encouraging independence. In Taylor, this type of senior care costs $5,050 monthly on average. This is more than Michigan's norm of $4,250 and the national average of $4,500.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Taylor

In Taylor and the rest of Michigan, the Department of Health and Human Services regulates and licenses assisted living communities. This government agency establishes staffing requirements, safety codes and other rules to ensure seniors receive quality care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Taylor

  • Health care in Taylor is much cheaper than the national norm. Local medical prices are about 15.1% lower than average, and seniors can access Beaumont Hospital for a variety of health services.
  • The overall cost of living in Taylor is 13.1% lower than the U.S. average and 4.6% lower than Michigan's statewide norm, which may make budgeting on a fixed income easier.
  • Michigan doesn't impose taxes on Social Security benefits, making it relatively tax-friendly for retirees. The state does tax other forms of retirement income at 4.25%, but it offers several tax deductions, including $108,808 in pension income deductions for qualifying couples.
  • Summer weather in Taylor is generally pleasant, earning the city a comfort index score of 9.1 out of 10. July sees high temperatures around 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity levels usually stay below 62% from June through August. On the other hand, winter in the city is cold and snowy, with lows around 18 degrees Fahrenheit and an average of 34.8 inches of total snowfall. Fortunately, assisted living communities often have numerous indoor activities to keep seniors comfortable and active during colder weather.
  • Crime is more common in Taylor than the national average. The city's violent crime rate is 19.3% higher than the U.S. norm, while its property crime rate is 15.8% higher. Seniors concerned about safety may benefit from moving into an assisted living community, however, as most facilities feature security cameras, monitored entrances and 24/7 emergency staff support.
  • Taylor's city government operates a senior center that offers low-cost transportation to medical appointments for older adults. Seniors must schedule services 48 hours in advance and rides cost $2.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Similarly, nursing home care is 56.2% more expensive than assisted living, as it provides 24/7 medical monitoring for frail seniors. Older adults can also consider home health care, which includes skilled nursing services during the day in the senior's home for $5,339. On the other hand, adult day health care is cheaper than assisted living, offering daytime-only services in a community environment for $1,733, on average.
