What to Consider About Assisted Living in Highland

Active seniors living in Highland, MI, might enjoy a short hike in the Holly Recreation Area or sipping on local wine at Hoffman Farms Winery. Officially known as Highland Charter Township, the town has about 20,000 citizens, 16.8% of whom are aged 65 or older.

To help those in this age range, there are two assisted living facilities in town and 12 more in nearby communities, such as White Lake and Commerce. In Highland and throughout Michigan, the Department of Human Services regulates these homes for the aged, which is what assisted living facilities are called in the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Highland

  • Michigan is relatively tax-friendly to seniors in Highland and the rest of the state. There's no tax on Social Security retirement benefits, and there's a large deduction on other types of retirement income.
  • Highland has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital 6 miles away in Commerce Township.
  • Seniors living in assisted living facilities may feel comfortable running errands in town due to Highland low crime statistics. Highland's violent crime rate is 12.8, nearly 10 points lower than the U.S. average, and its property crime rate is 27.4, 8 points lower than the national median.
  • At 106.7, the cost of living in Highland is 7% higher than the national average and 10% higher than the state average. Seniors and their families may pay 26% more for housing but 10% less on healthcare than in other cities of similar size throughout the country.
  • Highs in July average 80 degrees, but winter temperatures dip to 10 degrees in January, accompanied by 68 inches of snow, 40 inches more than the average U.S. city. The township receives 32 inches of annual rainfall, 6 inches less than the national average. Winters in Highland may be difficult for seniors with health conditions aggravated by colder temperatures.
  • Highland seniors with chronic conditions, such as COPD or asthma, may breathe easier knowing that the town's EPA-measured air quality is 89 on a scale of 100, 31 points higher than the U.S. average.
