What to Consider About Assisted Living in Flat Rock
Flat Rock, situated along the Detroit River in southwest Michigan, was founded by Michael Vreeland when his family built the first grain and lumber mill in the area. The village was incorporated in 1923 before being registered as a city in 1965. Today, Flat Rock prides itself on its rich history and small-town feel and is home to 9,878 people, with seniors making up 10.4% of the population. Some of the city’s seniors may enjoy a visit to the Flat Rock Speedway or the Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest church of its type in the entire state. Area seniors who would like assistance with personal care have two assisted living facilities to choose from in the city, and another 12 facilities located in nearby communities.
In Flat Rock and throughout Michigan, assisted living facilities are called homes for the aged and adult foster care, dependent on the level of care provided. Both types of facilities are licensed and governed by the Department of Human Services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Flat Rock
-
Social Security benefits are not taxed in Michigan, which could leave Flat Rock seniors with more money in their monthly budgets to put toward assisted living care.
- Seniors with respiratory issues such as COPD or asthma may find that their condition doesn’t worsen when exposed to the Flat Rock air. The city has an air quality rating of 58 on a 100-point scale where lower numbers indicate poorer air quality, completely on par with the national average.
- The Flat Rock area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Beaumont Cardiology Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
-
Crime rates are low in Flat Rock, which might put the minds of seniors and their families at ease. The city has a violent crime rate of 11.6 and a property crime rate of 24.2, both notably lower than the national averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively.
- Flat Rock’s overall cost of living is 101.5, higher than the Michigan average of 96.7 and the national average of 100; these figures are driven primarily by higher transportation costs in the city. Seniors can expect to pay less for groceries and healthcare than they would in other parts of the state or country, but they may want to allocate more money toward transportation each month, which comes in at 153.8.
- Flat Rock has summer highs of 83 degrees Fahrenheit and winter lows of 18, which might make the area ideal for seniors who dislike muggy, humid summer weather.
