Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Inkster

Seniors in Inkster who need assistance when it comes to paying for an assisted living facility may be able to use Michigan’s Medicaid waiver, known as the MI Choice Waiver Program.  To qualify for this program, seniors must be at least 65 years old, meet income and asset requirements, and be in need of facility services. This waiver program has a six- to 12-month waiting list, so seniors in need of assistance might want to keep that in mind.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Michigan page.

While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

  • Veterans Benefits
  • Life Insurance Policy
  • Long-Term Care Insurance
  • Reverse Mortgage

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Inkster

 

  • Seniors aged 60 and older can get curb-to-curb transportation to medical appointments and grocery stores from Myride2. There is no service available on Thursdays, so seniors might want to keep that in mind.
  • The state of Michigan does not levy taxes on Social Security benefits. However, both pensions and retirement savings account income are partially taxed. Inkster's seniors may find that these tax savings make living in the area more affordable.
  • Inkster’s cost of living is 87.7, considerably lower than the national average of 100. Low healthcare drives this figure and stands at 84.9, lower than the national average, so seniors should be able to find affordable care options within the city.
  • Inkster has high crime rates, which might be a deterrent to safety-conscious seniors. The city’s violent crime rate is 66.3 and the property crime rate is 47.6, both much higher than the U.S. averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively.
  • Seniors with breathing conditions may have an easier time living in Inkster than in other parts of Michigan. The air quality in Inkster ranks 65 on a scale where 100 represents the areas with the best air quality, higher than the national average of 58.
  • Inkster has warm summers with highs that climb to 85 degrees in the summer and cold winter temperatures as low as 18. The city also receives 31 inches of snow annually. Seniors might want to make sure their room has individual climate controls.
