What to Consider About Assisted Living in Freeland

Freeland gets its name from a pioneer-era bar in the area, which was known as Mammy Freeland's. A sparsely populated town in the heart of Tittabawassee Township, not far from Saginaw, just 7,000 people live in Freeland, nearly 10% of whom are seniors aged 65 and over. While Freeland doesn't have any assisted living facilities of its own, the surrounding area of Saginaw County does host 65 facilities where seniors can find safe, comfortable independent living.

Michigan avoids the term assisted living to describe these facilities, preferring to call them adult foster care facilities. These properties are inspected and licensed through the Michigan Department of Human Services Bureau of Children and Adult Licensing.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Freeland

  • The weather in Freeland is hot and humid in summer but cold and dry in the winter. Temperature-sensitive seniors in Freeland face summer highs of 83 degrees and winter lows that can drop to around 15 degrees. Freeland gets 33 inches of rain in warmer months and 42 inches of snow when it's cold.
  • The cost of living in Freeland is somewhat lower than the national average. Across all costs combined, seniors pay an average of 4% less than the typical cost of living in the rest of the country. Healthcare is especially affordable. Seniors in Freeland pay around 13% less for medical care than the typical national rate.
  • Crime rates in Freeland are high. Across all categories combined, seniors in Freeland must live with nearly double the crime rate a similar-sized city elsewhere in the country deals with. Some of this is a quirk of the data, however, as Freeland's small population size creates wild annual swings in the overall crime rates when even a few extra incidents are reported. This results in some years having 400% more crime than the national rate, while in other years the figures are closer to the median nationwide.
  • Saginaw Transit Authority and Regional Services (STARS) provides public transportation in Freeland with regular bus routes throughout the area. Seniors aged 62 and up can ride STARS routes at a discount, and disabled ride services are available for riders with limited mobility.
  • The Freeland area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Ascension St. Mary's Hospital Health Center at Birch Run, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Freeland has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Saginaw County Commission on Aging, an organization that conducts senior living classes and connects local seniors with caregiver assistance, as well as more than five senior centers.

Note: Data on this page was updated in 2019 and based on the latest 2018 figures.
