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

Livonia is a western suburb of Detroit, offering access to outstanding medical facilities and cultural amenities. A modest cost of living and retirement-friendly income tax laws make the city a top consideration for older adults, and comparatively mild weather creates a comfortable backdrop for senior living. Of the city’s nearly 100,000 residents, seniors make up a fifth of the population, which is large compared to state and national norms and promotes access to age-informed services.

For seniors unable to live at home safely or comfortably, residential care provides convenience and high-quality service. Assisted living facilities provide housing and three healthy meals daily, along with services such as housekeeping, linen service, maintenance and personal care, supporting a worry-free lifestyle. The Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey estimates local care costs at $6,093 per month based on rates in nearby Ann Arbor. While this is very high compared to care costs in other cities, seniors may be eligible for programs such as the MI Choice Waiver Program, which can help reduce out-of-pocket care costs.

Through this guide, readers can get more information on paying for assisted living in Livonia, as well as up-to-date details on resources that help seniors find care.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Livonia

Assisted living facilities aren’t licensed in Livonia or in the rest of Michigan. However, facilities that provide skilled nursing services may be required to be licensed through the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Bureau of Community & Health Systems.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Livonia

  • Michigan’s income tax laws are relatively retirement-friendly, which may help seniors afford assisted living expenses in Livonia. The state doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, and while all other types of retirement income are taxed, seniors can claim deductions to reduce this burden. Property taxes tend to be high, which may make residential care a financially viable alternative to living alone.
  • Livonia’s poor air quality may be a concern for older adults with heart or breathing conditions. The American Lung Association gives Wayne County, where Livonia is located, a passing score for annual particle pollution but failing grades for short-term particle pollution and ozone pollution. Seniors sensitive to pollution may want to track high-ozone days and enjoy their assisted living facility’s indoor activities when conditions outside aren’t favorable.
  • Livonia Community Transit provides local transportation services for city residents aged 60 and over. Services are available within the city and at a few select destinations in neighboring communities, supplementing the transportation services seniors have access to through their assisted living facilities.
  • Trinity Health Livonia Hospital is located in Livonia proper and provides routine and acute-care medical services, as well as 24-hour emergency services, providing quick access to medical care for local assisted living residents. Overall, local health care costs are about 15% lower than the national average, which may provide financial benefits to those managing medical conditions.  
  • With year-round daytime temperatures ranging from 32 to 84 degrees, Livonia is among the warmer places to live in Michigan. The city gets 36 inches of snow annually, with 6 months seeing significant snowfall and about a third of the snow falling in January. Assisted living facilities provide transportation services and mobility assistance, helping those who rely on aids such as wheelchairs and walkers to attend appointments and errands during the winter months.
  • Livonia’s overall cost of living is a little higher than the state average but consistent with the national norm. Seniors with restrictive retirement budgets may have an easier time controlling monthly expenses by transitioning to residential care.
