What to Consider About Assisted Living in Rochester Hills

It’s important for seniors to note that not all assisted living communities in Michigan are licensed. For those requiring a license, the Department of Licensing & Regulatory Affairs provides the laws and regulations that these facilities must follow. Seniors looking for assisted living communities should ask about each facility’s licensure while exploring options for long-term care. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Rochester Hills

  • Michigan offers several tax breaks for seniors, especially those who derive much of their income from retirement accounts and Social Security. SSI income isn’t taxed, and withdrawals from retirement investments are taxed at lower rates than regular wages. 
  • Violent crime rates in Rochester Hills are significantly lower than the state overall. Both property crimes and violent crimes are lower here than in many nearby cities, which may help seniors feel safer when out in the community. 
  • The overall cost of living in Rochester Hills is slightly higher than the U.S. median, 116.5 compared to 100. However, health care costs, important to many seniors, are considerably less at 81.4, also less than the state median of 86. 
  • Rochester Hills residents have plenty of choices for health care, with a higher number of physicians per capita than the national average. As part of the greater Detriot area, seniors also have easy access to world-class hospitals, including Henry Ford Hospital and DMC Harper Unversity Hospital. 
  • The annual BestPlaces Comfort Index rates Rochester Hills a 6.8 out of 10, which places it as one of the most comfortable places in the state. While winters here can be cold and snowy, with January lows dropping to just 16 degrees, summertime is pleasant, with July highs reaching 82 degrees.

Those who have light medical needs may choose to receive services in their own home from a home health aide ($4,957), such as a registered nurse or CNA.

Finally, individuals with ongoing to acute medical conditions may be best served by a nursing home, which has 24-7 medical and personal care. A semiprivate room in Rochester Hills is $8,821, while a private one is $10,646.
