What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mason

In 1865, Mason was incorporated as a village and during the 19th century, Mason enjoyed being the center of Ingham County activity. While Lansing eventually became the state capital, Mason remained the Ingham County Seat.

Of Mason's 29,000 residents, 23 percent are 65 and over. These seniors may eventually need to look into assisted living facilities (ALFs). There are 32 in the Mason area, and they are regulated by the Michigan Bureau of Child and Adult Licensing, a division of the Department of Human Services. The State of Michigan defines ALFs as those that have 25 or more residents, aged 55 or older, needing assistance with daily tasks like bathing and grooming.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mason

  • Located in south-central Michigan south of Lansing, Mason has four distinct seasons, including warm, often humid summers and cold, snowy winters, both of which can be uncomfortable for some older people. The average high temperature in Mason is 30 degrees Fahrenheit in January and 82 degrees in July.
  • Mason, Michigan has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Tri-County Office on Aging, an organization that provides meals on wheels, exercise programs and senior bus transportation, as well as a senior center.
  • Crime is not nearly the problem in Mason that it is in many other parts of Michigan. The crime rate is 35 percent lower in Mason than the national average. However, this statistic bears watching as the city's crime rate has increased by 35 percent in recent years, so seniors should be cautious while running errands.
  • The Mason, Michigan area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Mason Family Health Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Getting around Mason is relatively easy. For seniors who drive, SR 127 cuts right through town. The Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA) offers regular bus service within Mason and between Mason and Lansing. The system offers senior discounts to those riders age 62 and older, with a valid CATA card.  In addition, the Michigan Smart Bus system offers curb-to-curb service to points within 10 miles with advanced reservations.
  • Mason and the surrounding area are home to a number of events, cultural sites and museums. Chief among these are the Mason Area Historical Museum, the Robin performing arts theater and the Mason Antiques District. Of course, there are many more things to do in nearby Lansing. Most attractions and cultural events in Mason and Lansing offer senior discounts, although the qualifying age may vary.
