What to Consider About Assisted Living in Allendale

Allendale is 10 miles north of the Grand Rapids Metropolitan Area and has roughly 18,000 residents. Because it's home to Grand Valley State University, it is typically seen as a college town, but seniors make up about 5% of the population. 

In Allendale, seniors who need supportive services may receive them at one of 36 local assisted living facilities, two of which are within the city. These facilities are officially called homes for the aged, since they're for adults age 60 and older, and they are governed by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Allendale

  • The Allendale area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Metro Health Allendale, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.  
  • In Allendale, retirees pay state income tax on almost all forms of income, but they can claim a large deduction to minimize the expense. Social Security benefits are not taxed at the state level.  
  • Allendale is a relatively expensive city to live in, particularly by Michigan’s standards. The overall cost of living is about 4% higher than the national average and 8% higher than the statewide average, which may be a consideration for seniors with limited budgets.  
  • Allendale has a lower crime rate than slightly more than half of all U.S. cities and a little less than half of Michigan cities. When compared only to similarly sized cities, Allendale’s crime rate is considerably lower. This may provide peace of mind for seniors who are looking at assisted living facilities here. 
  • With average summer highs around 80 degrees and winter lows around 20 degrees, Allendale ranks among the cooler cities in Michigan. Seniors seeking local assisted living options may want to find a facility that provides individual climate control in apartments. 
  • Historically, ozone pollution levels in the Allendale region have been high according to the American Lung Association, though the area has seen a drastic improvement in recent years. Even so, seniors who have certain health conditions may want to stay inside on high ozone days.
