    What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lowell

    Lowell is home to the Grand River Riverfront Park, an 80-acre park that features two islands, a canoe launch, a fishing pier, scenic overlooks and paved walking paths. While this small township has a little less than 6,000 residents, it has a fairly large senior community that makes up a little over 16% of the total population.  

    There are three assisted living facilities in Lowell and one more in Grand Rapids. These facilities are licensed and monitored by the Michigan  Department of Health and Human Services and are officially known as homes for the aged.

    Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lowell

    • Lowell seniors do not pay state income tax on their Social Security income, but all other retirement income is taxable. However, the state provides a large deduction for pension income and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts, which may leave more money in the budget for assisted living expenses. 
    • Lowell's air quality is decent, which may benefit seniors who have conditions like COPD or heart disease. The American Lung Association gave Kent County, where Lowell is located, an F for ozone pollution but a B for 24-hour particle pollution.  
    • Seniors in Lowell may receive transportation services through Senior Neighbors, which provides a convenient and low-cost way for area seniors to run errands, attend medical appointments and get to the local senior center.
    • Lowell has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Grand Rapids.
    • The overall cost of living in Lowell is about 5% higher than the national average and 10% higher than the state average, which may be a consideration for seniors who have restrictive monthly budgets. Healthcare is quite affordable in this city, however, with the cost of routine medical appointments and hospital stays coming in about 17% below the national median. This may offset other expenses for seniors who are managing chronic medical conditions.  
    • Lowell experiences warm summers with July highs in the low-80s, which may appeal to seniors who are sensitive to very hot weather. Winters are chilly and snowy, with January lows around 16 degrees and an average annual snowfall of 64 inches.
