What to Consider About Assisted Living in Bolingbrook

Assisted living facilities in Bolingbrook are officially called residential care facilities, and they comply with regulations set by the Ohio Department of Health. The department has rules and regulations for how many residents a facility must have, the scope of care they must provide, public funding and how they report incidents of abuse.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bolingbrook

  • Seniors in Bolingbrook obtain public transportation services through Pace. This agency operates fixed bus routes throughout the region, as well as a Dial-a-Ride service for those who can’t use the public bus service. It also has a paratransit service for those who use mobility aids.  
  • Bolingbrook has relatively comfortable weather, which may appeal to those who enjoy relaxing outdoors. Year-round high temperatures range between 31 and 84 degrees, making it one of the cooler cities in Illinois, and residents see about 39 inches of rain and 30 inches of snow annually.  
  • Health care costs in Bolingbrook are consistent with the national average, but within the village, residents have limited health care provider options. There are only about 116 doctors per 100,000 residents compared to 210 nationally. Adventist Medical Center Bolingbrook is within the city limits, and there are nearly a dozen hospitals within a 15-mile radius.  
  • Bolingbrook is one of the safest places to live in Illinois. According to the most recent available data, violent crime occurs at a rate of about 163 occurrences per 100,000 people compared to respective state and national rates of 407 and 379. Property crime is more common with a rate of 862 but rates are still low compared to state and national averages of 1,847 and 2,110.  
  • The overall cost of living in Bolingbrook is about 3% lower than the national average, which may benefit those relocating to the city. Seniors living here may spend less money on groceries, utilities and miscellaneous expenses such as restaurant meals and clothing compared to residents in other communities. Housing costs are about 20% higher than in Illinois as a whole, but seniors may avoid high mortgage and rent payments by living in assisted living.  
  • Bolingbrook seniors don’t pay state income taxes on Social Security benefits, pension income or withdrawals from retirement savings accounts, which may help their retirement dollars stretch further. Property taxes are very high, which may make residential community care more financially feasible.
