What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lake City

Lake City is a small city on the shores of Lake Missaukee. The city is home to an estimated 5,131 residents. More than 26% of its population is made up of seniors aged 65 and older, some of whom require long-term assisted living care. 

There are three assisted living facilities in Lake City that provide full-time care to seniors who need it. These facilities, known officially as homes for the aged, are licensed and monitored by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and must operate within strict regulations that are set forth by the state. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lake City

  • Seniors who have limited funds to pay for their healthcare and assisted living costs may find that Lake City is an affordable option. The overall cost of living in the city is nearly 20% below the national average.
  • Seniors looking for assisted living in Lake City should ensure the facility they choose offers plenty of indoor activities and amenities that they can access during the cold winter months. The city gets an average of 69 inches of snow each year.
  • Seniors in Lake City can breathe the air without concern for adverse health effects. The city's air quality is rated 87 on a scale of one to 100, which is 29 points higher than in the average U.S. city. 
  • While the property crime rate in Lake City is slightly above the national average, the violent crime rate is less than half that of the average U.S. city. Even so, it's important to find an assisted living facility that takes resident safety and security seriously.
  • The Lake City area has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Missaukee County Commission on Aging, which preserves and protects the dignity and quality of life of seniors in the area through its healthcare, information and personal support programs, as well as one senior center
  • The Lake City area has few facilities to choose from in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Cadillac.
