What to Consider About Assisted Living in Waterford

The small, industrial village of Waterford is located along the shores of Lake Michigan in Racine County, Wisconsin, and covers about two square miles. This community is noted for its recreational activities, including motorized boating, bird-watching and fishing. Waterford has about 5,600 residents, nearly one in five of whom are seniors. 

Waterford has two assisted living facilities, and there are 15 more nearby. These facilities are categorized as community-based residential facilities, residential care apartment complexes or adult family homes, according to the setting they provide, and are licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Waterford

  • Waterford seniors who receive Social Security benefits or public pensions do not pay state income tax on this type of income, which may allow them to put more money toward living expenses, including assisted living services. All other types of retirement income are fully taxed at the state level.  
  • Transportation for seniors in Waterford is provided by Racine County Human Services. Residents may contact them directly to learn about eligibility and transportation services provided. 
  • The Waterford area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Lakeview Specialty Hospital and Rehab, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Ozone pollution levels in Waterford are very high, with the American Lung Association giving Racine County an "F" for this type of pollution. This may be a consideration for seniors who spend a lot of time outdoors or who have certain medical conditions.
