What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lake Zurich

The Illinois Department of Public Health licenses and regulates assisted living communities in Lake Zurich and throughout the state. It requires facilities to follow established administrative codes and compliance regulations to ensure clean, safe environments for residents to access high-quality care. Residents and their families can also find information on filing facility care complaints. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lake Zurich

  • The cost of living in Lake Zurich is about 8% higher than the national median. Although the village is more expensive than other areas of Illinois, it boasts lower prices for health care, utilities and transportation. Assisted living communities also offer fixed monthly rates, which can help seniors live within their budgets. 
  • Lake Zurich has a humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters averaging 38 inches of annual snowfall. However, the area experiences 185 sunny days per year, allowing for outdoor recreational activities. Assisted living communities also provide indoor social activities and events to help seniors stay engaged during unpleasant weather. 
  • Based on a 100-point index, Lake Zurich's health care prices are nearly 1% cheaper than national figures. The village also has a higher-than-average number of local physicians, making medical services accessible to residents. Despite not having a local hospital, Lake Zurich is a short drive from Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, where seniors can access specialty services such as cancer care and gastroenterology.
  • Older adults living in Illinois have access to many state tax benefits. For example, the state doesn't tax retirement income, IRAs, certain pensions or the federally taxed portion of Social Security benefits, freeing up additional funds to supplement assisted living costs. 
  • Based on a 100-point index, Lake Zurich has lower violent and property crime rates than national figures. The town ranks at 8.6 for violent crime and 23.9 for property crime compared to U.S. averages of 22.7 and 35.4.
