What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sycamore

Located 60 miles west of Chicago, Sycamore is a small community that encompasses an idyllic Midwestern lifestyle. Its quaint, historic downtown area is filled with locally owned shops and frequently hosts annual events, giving seniors the opportunity to really enjoy the city's four distinct seasons.

Seniors age 55 and older comprise 24.1 percent of the town's population. They have three Sycamore area assisted living facility options available, two nestled within the city limits and one in a community nearby. The Illinois Department of Public Health regulates these facilities, which provide private apartments to residents in an effort to help seniors maintain a lifestyle that's as independent as possible.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Sycamore

 

  • The Dekalb Voluntary Action Center operates Sycamore's public transit route, which offers half-price fares for seniors. They also have a Dial-a-Ride service that transports seniors door-to-door, making it easy to run errands. This service operates on a donation-only basis for seniors age 60 and over.
     
  • The Sycamore area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Kindred Hospital Sycamore, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
     
  • Sycamore has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Kishwaukee Family YMCA, an organization that has exercise programs for active older adults including Zumba, yoga and pickleball, as well as one senior center.
     
  • The cost of living in Sycamore is slightly lower than state and national averages. This could make finding budget-friendly prices on groceries and health care services easier for seniors.
     
  • Illinois seniors can enjoy money from Social Security payments, pension income and retirement account withdrawals tax-free. This helps offset some of their assisted living costs.
     
  • Sycamore’s crime rate is 39 percent lower than the Illinois average and 47 percent lower than the national average. The rate of violent crime is 85 percent lower than the state median and 82 percent lower than the national average, and the property crime rate is 29 percent lower than the state average and 41 percent lower than the U.S. average.
