What to Consider About Assisted Living in Macomb

Macomb, Illinois, was originally called Washington, but in 1830 its name was changed to honor War of 1812 General Alexander Macomb. Over the years, this small city has welcomed several U.S. presidents, including Abraham Lincoln who spoke at the courthouse in 1858. Of the city’s 19,288 residents, more than 11% are seniors 65 or older, and some of those seniors may be thinking about assisted living facilities. Those seniors who desire or require extra care have two assisted living facilities to choose from within the city.

The Illinois Department of Public Health oversees assisted living facilities in Macomb and throughout the entire state. These facilities are known as assisted living establishments, shared housing establishments, sheltered care facilities and supportive living facilities depending upon the occupancy and level of care provided.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Macomb

  • Bridgeway provides door-to-door transportation to senior citizens in McDonough County where Macomb is located. All of its vehicles are handicapped-accessible. Reservations must be made in advance.
  • The Macomb area is home to world-class medical facilities, including McDonough District Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Seniors with restrictive budgets might find living in Macomb affordable due to Illinois’ retirement-friendly tax policies. Pensions, private and public, are not taxed, and neither are retirement savings income or Social Security benefits.
  • Crime rates in Macomb are low, which may be of interest to seniors who are looking to retire in a safe community. The city’s violent crime rate is 15.8 and the property crime rate is 25.8, both considerably lower than the U.S. averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively.
  • Macomb’s cost of living is 75.6, considerably lower than both the Illinois average of 101.5 and the national average of 100. Seniors can also expect to pay less for groceries and transportation. Healthcare, however, is higher than the average at 105.1, which might be a consideration to seniors with ongoing health issues as well as restrictive budgets.
  • Residents of Macomb enjoy year-round temperatures ranging from 15 to 87 degrees. The city gets 39 inches of rain annually and 15 inches of snow, which might interest seniors who enjoy listening to the pitter-patter of rain on their windows or watching the snow fall during the festive season.
