What to Consider About Assisted Living in Flat Rock
Flat Rock was originally settled by the Wyandot people and was a designated Wyandot reservation until 1830. After the Erie Canal opened in 1825, the community had four stores, several different types of mills and 250 residents. Today, it has over 10,000 residents, about 11% of whom are seniors.
There are 14 assisted living facilities in the Flat Rock region, including two in Flat Rock proper and a dozen more in nearby cities like Trenton and Riverview. In Michigan, assisted living facilities accommodate adults age 60 and over and are officially called homes for the aged. They are governed by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Flat Rock
- Flat Rock's cost of living is about 2% higher than the national average and about 5% higher than the statewide average. However, this is mainly due to the high cost of transportation expenses, which may be offset by the city's relatively affordable healthcare costs and groceries. That might make the city a viable option for seniors with tight budgets.
- Flat Rock's crime rate is lower than the U.S. average, and most of the crime that takes place here is property-related, which may appeal to seniors looking for a safe community.
- Flat Rock has pleasant summers with highs around 83 degrees and chilly winters with lows in the teens. The city receives an average of 35 inches of snow per year compared to the nationwide average of 28 inches, which may pose a challenge for seniors who rely on mobility aids.
- The Flat Rock area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Trenton.
- Seniors in Flat Rock do not pay state income tax on Social Security benefits, and they are eligible to claim a large deduction on other types of retirement income.
- The high level of ozone pollution and moderate level of short-term particle pollution reported by the American Lung Association in Wayne County, where Flat Rock is located, may be a concern for seniors who have certain health conditions like COPD.
