What to Consider About Assisted Living in Batavia

In Batavia, as well as the rest of the state, assisted living facilities are monitored by the Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Assisted Living. This division enforces a comprehensive set of rules and regulations to ensure a high standard of care through an initial licensing process and scheduled and unannounced inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Batavia

  • Health care costs in Batavia are about 3% lower than in the typical U.S. city, but there are just 124 doctors per 100,000 people versus the national rate of 210, which may extend wait times for obtaining primary and specialty services. There are no hospitals within Batavia, but there are two hospitals within 5 miles of the city, including Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva and AMITA Health Mercy Medical Center Aurora in Aurora.   
  • Most types of retirement income are exempt from state taxes, which may help older adults afford local assisted living expenses. Batavia seniors aren’t taxed on their Social Security benefits, pension income or withdrawals from retirement accounts. The state has its own estate tax and some of the highest property and sales taxes in the nation, but seniors may save money on these expenses by moving to assisted living.  
  • Property and crime rates in Batavia are well below state and national averages, which may promote peace of mind for older adults. Most recent data from the FBI shows that violent crime occurs at a rate of about 125 incidents per 100,000 people and property crime at a rate of 280, which is fairly consistent with similarly sized cities in Illinois but well below the respective national rates of 379 and 2,110.  
  • While winter in Batavia tends to be very cold with low temperatures in the teens, spring, summer and autumn are pleasant with mild temperatures, offering plenty of opportunities to enjoy the region’s amenities. The city sees about 28 inches of annual snowfall and 37 inches of rain, and about 115 days out of the year have some type of precipitation.  
  • The overall cost of living in Batavia exceeds state and national medians. The high average is mainly due to expensive housing costs, which may provide more money for care expenses for those who sell their homes to move to assisted living.
