What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mascoutah

Mascoutah is a medium-sized residential community in the neatly kept farmland of western Illinois, not far from the left bank of the Mississippi River. Home to 8,000 people, around 12% of Mascoutah's residents are seniors aged 65 and over. The area in and around town hosts six assisted living facilities for seniors looking for safe and comfortable residential living. These facilities, like all residential care communities in the state, are regulated by the Illinois Department of Public Health Division of Assisted Living.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mascoutah

  • The climate in Mascoutah is typical of the greater Midwest. Warm summers here see average daily highs of 88 degrees, while the frigid winter nights dip to an average low of 20. Spring and fall bring about 44 inches of rain to Mascoutah each year, which tends to raise pollen and other allergens that can trouble seniors with asthma.
  • The cost of living in Mascoutah is roughly 5% below the national average across all categories. One exception to the slightly cheaper prices here is in healthcare. Seniors in Mascoutah pay roughly 4% more, on average, than the national median cost for health services.
  • Crime is hard to come by in Mascoutah. Across all crime categories combined, the local crime rates are roughly 10% of the national average. Even this is mostly petty property offenses. Mascoutah routinely goes several years between violent crimes, making it an exceptionally safe place for seniors to live.
  • Seniors can get around Mascoutah aboard the ADA-equipped buses of the St. Clair County Transit District. Seniors aged 65 and over get 50% discounts on regular fares, as do riders with limited mobility who present a valid transit ID card when boarding.
  • The Mascoutah area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Memorial Hospital East, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Mascoutah has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Land of Lincoln Legal Assistance Foundation, an organization that provides free legal advice and help for seniors in Mascoutah and St. Clair County, as well as one senior center.
