What to Consider About Assisted Living in Farmington Hills

Assisted living providers in Farmington Hills are licensed and regulated by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The department inspects aged care facilities regularly and takes action to ensure they comply with state laws and quality of care requirements.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Farmington Hills

  • Health care is exceptionally cheap in Farmington Hills at 17.3% below the national average. The city has 454 physicians per 100,000 residents — much higher than the U.S. average of 210 — reflecting highly accessible primary care physicians and specialists.
  • Summer weather is typically very comfortable in the Detroit area, rated at 9.3 out of 10, while the U.S. average is 7. There are fewer sunny days each year at 179 vs. the national average of 205, but this may be ideal for seniors who prefer partly cloudy conditions or have sensitive skin, as the UV index also averages a low 3.2, compared to 4.3 across most of the United States.
  • Crime rates are low in Farmington Hills, potentially making it a very safe place to live. The city has a violent crime rating of 11.4 out of 100 — half that of the U.S. average of 22.7. Property crimes are also less common, ranking at 20.8 compared to the national average of 35.4.
  • The cost of living in Farmington Hills is 6.6% higher than the national average. However, grocery prices are comparable to the average and health care is much less expensive. Most of the high cost of living is associated with entertainment and transportation, which seniors may be able to avoid by taking advantage of the many services offered by assisted living communities.
  • Farmington Hills has inexpensive public transportation options such as SMART Bus to help those without a vehicle. Seniors with disabilities can also take advantage of the curb-to-curb reservation-based transportation service if the fixed bus line schedules aren’t convenient.
  • The sales tax rate in the city is 6.0% — 1.3% lower than the national average. Farmington Hills also has an income tax rate 0.3% below the United States average, which may help seniors conserve a little more of their hard-earned money.
