Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Burton

There aren't many financial assistance options available for seniors who need help paying their monthly assisted living costs. The Michigan Medicaid State Plan covers the cost of personal care services for eligible seniors residing in homes for the aged. Also, the state offers an optional state supplement to seniors with Social Security benefits.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Michigan page.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Burton

 

  • Burton doesn’t have its own hospital, but assisted living residents in this city can access diverse medical services from Ascension Genesys Hospital in Grand Blanc. This hospital sits 5 miles outside of Burton and has a 24-hour emergency room, along with specialties in radiology, cardiac rehabilitation and brain and spine care. Additionally, many assisted living facilities have on-call physicians or facilitate telemedicine services to promote access to prompt care.

 

  • Michigan doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, and it helps seniors further reduce their tax burden through deductions on other types of retirement income. This may help some seniors afford assisted living expenses in the Burton region.

 

  • Burton’s cost of living runs about 10% lower than the national norm, making this city a financially viable option for many prospective assisted living residents. In general, residents pay 35% less for housing, 30% less for food and 20% less for utilities here than in a typical U.S. city, driving down the cost of assisted living. Health care costs run about 20% below national benchmarks, which makes health care accessible to many seniors.

 

  • A total crime index assigns Burton a score of 8 out of 100 points, meaning crime occurs more often here than in 92% of U.S. cities. The violent crime rate comes in at 8.59 incidents annually per 1,000 people versus the state rate of 4.61 and the national norm of 4, and property crime trends compare similarly at 25.74 in Burton versus 15.37 statewide and 20 nationally. Fortunately, most crime occurs in just a few neighborhoods on the city’s west side. Those with safety concerns may consider assisted living facilities in neighborhoods such as Burton East and Belsay/Lapeer Heights.

 

  • On the AARP Livability Index, Burton’s score of 45 comes in a couple of points below that of the average U.S. city, indicating a narrower range of benefits for older residents. Even so, residents have access to age-friendly amenities, such as public transportation, about two cultural venues per 10,000 people and affordable housing, which benefits prospective assisted living residents.
