What to Consider About Assisted Living in Paris
Paris, Illinois, got its name from an anonymous engraving in an oak tree that was in the center of the village when it was founded. An estimated 21 percent of its nearly 8,322 residents are age 65 or older, and there are only two assisted living facilities in Paris and the surrounding communities to care for them.
In Paris, as in the rest of Illinois, these assisted living facilities (ALFs) must be licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. They also have to meet legal guidelines, such as maintaining 24-hour security measures and having an emergency alert system for residents' safety.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Paris

- The overall cost of living in Paris is very low at 75 with the U.S. median being 100 and the Illinois state average 102. Healthcare is close to the national average, so it might be beneficial for families to move to Paris to be near their loved ones if the low expenses would provide extra monthly income to spend on quality care.
- The violent crime rate in Paris is slightly higher at 35.6 than the U.S. rating of 31.1. The annual property crime rate is 23.3, which is nearly 15 points below the national rate.

All retirement income received from seniors aged 60 or older is exempt from state income taxes, including Social Security, pensions and withdrawals from retirement accounts. Sales tax still applies to purchases of everyday living necessities.
