What to Consider About Assisted Living in Collinsville

The Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Assisted Living, regulates all assisted living facilities in Collinsville and the rest of the state. This division publishes details on the laws and rules facilities must follow to acquire and maintain licensure, along with specifics on residents’ rights. It also conducts background checks on prospective caregivers and routine site inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Collinsville

  • Seniors in Collinsville typically don’t pay state income taxes on their retirement income, thanks to Illinois’ retiree-friendly tax laws. While property and sales tax rates tend to be high, choosing assisted living over living alone may let seniors avoid these added living expenses.
  • The City of Collinsville provides free door-to-door transportation for those aged 55 and over through the Senior Citizen and Disabled Shuttle Bus. Through this service, seniors can get a ride to any location within the city limits, as well as the Collinsville-Maryville-Troy YMCA in Maryville. This can supplement paid services available through local assisted living facilities.
  • Collinsville is a relatively affordable place to live, making it a financially viable option for seniors seeking assisted living in southern Illinois. On a 100-point index based on typical living costs nationwide, the city scores 82.8, about 11 points lower than the Illinois norm. This is mainly due to low housing prices, which may correlate with competitive assisted living costs.
  • Property crime is a little more common in Collinsville than in a typical U.S. city, but violent crime is rare. On a 100-point crime scale, the city scores 42.3 for property-related offenses, about seven points higher than the national score. However, the local violent crime score is 10 points lower than the nationwide median at 12.4, which may provide peace of mind for prospective assisted living residents.
  • Temperatures in Collinsville range from 22 to 89 degrees Fahrenheit, providing distinct seasons for those who enjoy changing scenery throughout the year. The city gets about 43 inches of rain but only 13 inches of snow, and it scores 7.3 on a 10-point comfort index compared to the national score of 7.8. Seniors living in assisted living facilities typically have access to indoor and outdoor activities and amenities throughout the year, helping them remain active.
  • There are no hospitals in Collinsville, although major medical facilities, such as Anderson Hospital and HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, are located within 6 miles of the city center. Additionally, many assisted living facilities support telemedicine services and have dedicated office space for visiting physicians.
