The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Livonia, MI for 2024

In Livonia, a community of about 96,000 residents, about a fifth of the population is aged 65 and over. Despite this large senior community, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports a drop in the percentage of deaths related to Alzheimer's. Between 2016 and 2020, this percentage dropped by half a point. While the number of Alzheimer's-related deaths went up by 17%, the total number of deaths outpaced it at 30%.

Livonia has several dementia care facilities that provide housing, meals and individualized care for those living with Alzheimer's. Residents in these facilities participate in therapeutic activities including arts and crafts, fitness classes and cognitive exercises to help them remain engaged, and many facilities have visiting health care practitioners who provide specialized care and monitoring. Secured indoor and outdoor areas keep residents safe day and night, and highly trained caregivers provide companionship and help manage common dementia symptoms.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Livonia

Nearly a fifth of Livonia's residents are age 65 or older, and a growing number of them are among the estimated 180,000 Michiganders living with Alzheimer's disease. Because Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia are progressive, affected seniors require more assistance over time. Memory care facilities can help by providing specialized care for seniors with dementia in safe, secure environments. For seniors and their loved ones who are seeking memory care in the Livonia area, there are many options. More than 80 memory care facilities are available in Livonia and surrounding communities such as Northville and Redford. 

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs licenses memory care facilities in Livonia and throughout the state as Adult Foster Care (AFC) or Homes for the Aged (HFA). The provisions for memory care facilities are the same as for other AFCs and HFAs.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Livonia

 

  • Overall living costs for seniors in Livonia are about 8 percent higher than the national average but slightly below the Michigan state average.
  • The crime rate in Livonia is 17 per 1,000 residents, which is about the same as the national average. However, Livonia's crime rate is significantly lower than other American towns with a similar number of residents, so seniors and their loved ones shouldn't need to be overly concerned about personal safety.
  • Michigan offers some tax breaks for its senior citizens. Notably, the state does not tax Social Security retirement benefits. Although other types of retirement income, such as 401(k) plan and pension payments are partially taxed, they may also be deductible.
  • Compared to the rest of the country, Livonia averages fewer sunny days and around 10 more inches of snow each year. During the winter months, seniors may find their time outdoors limited by the severe cold, with January low temperatures averaging just 18 degrees Fahrenheit.
