What to Consider About Assisted Living in Rantoul

Rantoul, Illinois is north of Champaign, which was the home to thousands of airmen stationed at Chanute Air Force base and training grounds during the mid-1900s. The population is 12,769, 12.8 percent of whom are aged 65 or older. Rantoul has three assisted living facilities (ALFs) that are licensed and regulated by the Illinois Department of Public Health, with six other ALFs located in communities surrounding Rantoul.

Throughout Illinois, including Rantoul, ALFs must provide certain services to residents, including meals and assistance with basic household tasks.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Rantoul

  • The cost of living in Rantoul rates a 78, compared to the U.S. average of 100, which may enable seniors on a fixed income to spend more on healthcare. Groceries are 10 points below the national average. Housing is remarkably low at 39, so families may find it affordable to move to Rantoul to be near loved ones in an ALF.
  • Rantoul's weather is temperately pleasant, with average summer highs in the upper-80s. Winter temperatures can drop as low as 16 degrees. The area receives about 40 inches of rain and 17 inches of snow annually, which might prevent relatives from visiting during winter.
  • The violent crime rate of 76.4 in Rantoul — on a scale of 100 with 100 being highest — is more than twice as high as the national average of 31.1, and the property crime rate is 36.6, slightly lower than the U.S. average of 38.1. Families may want to check into the security safeguards that prospective ALFs have to protect residents.
  • Rantoul is in Champaign County, which usually has low ozone levels and receives a grade of "B" for its air quality. Seniors with respiratory health ailments like asthma and lung cancer should note that occasional heavy particle pollution may worsen those conditions.
  • Illinois has lenient tax policies for seniors, including exemption of all retirement income from state income taxes, including pensions, Social Security and retirement account withdrawals. 
  • Seniors may get a dose of local art and culture from various plays, exhibits and variety shows at the Rantoul Historical Society, the Museum of the Grand Prairie and the Rantoul Theater Group, which offers drama, comedy and musical live entertainment.
