What to Consider About Assisted Living in Macomb

Macomb Township is located in the Detroit metro area of Michigan and was first settled in the 1830s by German farmers. As of the most recent census, there are now nearly 91,000 people living in Macomb, almost 12% of whom are seniors.  

In Macomb, assisted living facilities are also called homes for the aged, as they exclusively serve adults age 60 and over. These facilities are licensed and monitored by the Michigan  Department of Health and Human Services. Macomb has two facilities, and there are 16 more in nearby cities like Shelby and Chesterfield. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Macomb

  • In Macomb, all retirement income except for Social Security benefits are subject to state income tax. However, senior taxpayers can claim a large deduction to offset this expense, leaving more money in the budget for assisted living.  
  • While particle pollution levels in the Macomb region are relatively low, the American Lung Association reports high ozone pollution levels. This may be a consideration for seniors who have a chronic condition that is affected by air quality.  
  • Macomb Community Action's transportation program provides transportation to medical appointments and other locations for eligible seniors in Macomb. Transportation is available by request Monday through Friday during normal business hours, and all vehicles are wheelchair-accessible.   
  • The Macomb area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Ascension St. John Hospital Health Center at 23 Mile and St. John Providence in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Macomb has a crime rate that is lower than 84% of cities of all sizes across the country and is one of the safest communities of its size within the United States. Residents have a one in 1,286 chance of being the victim of a violent crime and a one in 178 chance of being the victim of a property crime, which may make the city a good option for active seniors.
