What to Consider About Assisted Living in Charlotte
Charlotte is a quaint yet vibrant city that's located in Eaton County, Michigan, just on the outskirts of Lansing. The city is home to about 9,000 residents, more than 15% of whom are seniors aged 65 and above.
Seniors who require assisted living care in Charlotte can choose from three assisted living facilities that serve the city and its surrounding areas. Assisted living facilities in Charlotte and throughout Michigan are known officially as homes for the aged and are regulated by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

- The Charlotte area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Seniors living in Charlotte can safely travel throughout Eaton County using Eatran, the area's public transit system. Eatran is available during daytime hours Monday through Friday and offers reduced fares for senior citizens.
- The overall cost of living in Charlotte is nearly 10% below the national average, which helps make the city an affordable option for seniors on a tight budget.
- It's a good idea for seniors in Charlotte to find an assisted living facility that offers plenty of indoor activities, as the city's climate doesn't allow for a lot of outdoor time during the winter. The average low temperature in January, typically the coldest month, is only 16 degrees and the city gets an average of 43 inches of snow each year, which is 15 inches more than in the average city in the U.S.
- Seniors may be concerned about the high rate of property crime in Charlotte. 38.76 property crimes occur per 1,000 residents in the city each year, which is considerably high when compared with the state average of 25.45 per 1,000 residents.
