What to Consider About Assisted Living in Flora

Flora is a small community in Illinois with a thriving senior population — more than 18% of the city's residents are seniors at least 65 years old. The city has plenty to offer its seniors including golfing and visiting any of the nearby parks or eateries. Seniors interested in history and nostalgia can visit the Veteran's Memorial, the George Roger Clark Memorial statue or the Train Museum. To help accommodate its large senior population, Flora has two assisted living facilities within its city limits for those who some help with activities of daily living. 

In Flora, as in all of Illinois, the Illinois Department of Public Health licenses assisted living facilities. These facilities are known as assisted living facilities, shared housing establishments, sheltered care facilities and supportive living facilities, depending on the level of care provided.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Flora

  • The Flora area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Clay County Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • The air quality in Flora is good, which might be a consideration for seniors who have asthma or COPD. The city has a rank of 74 on a scale in which 100 represents the best air quality. Flora ranks almost 20 points higher than the national average of 58.
  • Rides Mass Transit provides free transportation for Flora seniors. To ride for free, seniors must present their senior card and be at least 60 years old. Seniors who need a card can stop by the transit office to fill out an application. Seniors must book their rides 24 hours in advance. Rides are occasionally permitted without notice when room allows, but it’s best to book ahead to secure a seat.
  • Flora’s low violent crime rate of 9.1, less than half of the national average of 22.7, might make it the ideal location for seniors looking for a safe city in which to retire. The city’s property crime rate is 36.1, almost on par with the national average of 35.4.
  • Seniors in Illinois don't pay taxes on social security benefits, retirement savings account income or pensions, which might give Flora seniors more money to put toward their assisted living budgets.
  • The overall cost of living in Flora is 74.3, more than 25 points lower than the U.S. average of 100. Groceries, healthcare and transportation expenses, however, are all higher than the average, which might be a consideration for seniors with restrictive budgets.
