What to Consider About Assisted Living in Eaton Rapids

The department also sets rules for resident intake and retention requirements, food services and public financing policies.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Eaton Rapids

 

  • Eaton Rapids has its own hospital, Eaton Rapids Medical Center, to promote prompt access to diverse medical services for local seniors. At this hospital, assisted living residents access a range of services such as oncology, radiology, joint replacement and emergency services. The hospital also has a financial assistance policy to promote access to medical care.

 

  • Seniors in Eaton Rapids don’t pay income taxes to the state on their Social Security benefits, leaving more money in the bank for local assisted living expenses. Additionally, the state has a relatively large deduction for other forms of retirement income, further promoting seniors’ financial stability throughout retirement.

 

  • Living costs in Eaton Rapids come in roughly 6% below the national average, with residents spending about 26% less on health care, 36% less on groceries and 7% less on housing here than in a typical U.S. community. This, combined with access to state-funded programs such as the MI Choice Waiver Program, helps many seniors afford local assisted living expenses.

 

  • On a 100-point total crime index, with 100 being the optimal score, Eaton Rapids scores 17 points. The city reports 23 crimes per thousand people annually, which is high compared to 87% of cities in Michigan, as well as cities nationwide with similar population sizes. The local violent crime rate comes in among the highest in the nation at 5.59, but the property crime rate runs lower than state and national marks at 17.55. This may make assisted living facilities, which often have security gates and surveillance systems, a preferred option over living alone for seniors with safety concerns.

 

  • Eaton Rapids scores 55 out of 100 points on the AARP Livability Index compared to the nation’s average city score of 48, indicating amenities and policies that benefit seniors. Compared to a U.S. norm of 0.0, residents have 0.2 grocery stores, 2.6 parks and 0.3 libraries within a half-mile radius of anywhere in the city, supporting assisted living residents’ comfort and independence, and the local walkability score runs a little higher than the national norm at 6.73, reducing reliance on transportation services.
