What to Consider About Assisted Living in Ortonville
Founded in 1948 by Amos Orton, Ortonville is located in southeast Michigan along the Detroit River and is home to 1,442 people, including a small senior population of 102 city residents aged 65 and older. To help these seniors transition into assisted living, Ortonville has four assisted living facilities located within the city and an additional 15 facilities located in the surrounding areas, such as Holly, Oxford and Metamora. The communities are called homes for the aged and adult foster care, and they are governed by the Department of Human Services in Ortonville and all of Michigan.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Ortonville
- Seniors looking to retire in a safe location may appreciate Ortonville’s low crime rates. Ortonville’s violent crime rate is 14.7, and its property crime rate is 31.8, both lower than the U.S. averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively.
- Seniors in Michigan are not taxed on Social Security income, although they are taxed on retirement savings account withdrawals and pensions, public and private. These tax laws may make it easier for Ortonville seniors to contribute toward their living expenses.
- Seniors with chronic breathing issues may prefer living in Ortonville than in other areas of the state or country. The village has an air quality rating of 75, almost 20 points higher than the U.S. average of 58.
- Ortonville’s cost of living is 118.9, considerably higher than the U.S. median of 100, driven primarily by the high housing and transportation costs in the area at 133 and 148.6, respectively. Although seniors can expect to pay less for groceries and healthcare here than they would anywhere in the country, the high housing costs might cause facility costs to increase. Seniors who no longer drive their own vehicles may also want to keep the higher cost of transportation in mind.
- Ortonville has no facilities in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Pontiac.
-
