What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pontiac
Pontiac, Michigan, is a part of Oakland County and is located just outside the Detroit city limits. It was settled by Europeans in 1818 and named for a famous local chief of the Ottawa people. Currently, the city has a population of 59,515, just over 10 percent of whom are aged 65 years and older.
Pontiac seniors are served by the area's 38 assisted living facilities. Michigan licenses assisted living facilities, which are typically referred to in Pontiac and throughout the state as Homes for the Aged or Adult Foster Care (AFC). They are regulated by the Michigan Department of Human Services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pontiac
- The Pontiac area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Pontiac seniors will find that Michigan taxes are relatively friendly to retirees, which can make a difference when planning a budget for assisted living. The state does not have an estate or an inheritance tax, nor does it tax Social Security. Public and private pensions and retirement account withdrawals are only partially-taxed.
- Pontiac is one of the more affordable places to live in Michigan, which can help seniors afford assisted living services. The town’s cost of living is nearly six percent lower than the state average and 9.2 percent lower than the national average. Housing is particularly inexpensive, at 63 percent less than the average cost in the rest of the country.
- Seniors may be concerned with Pontiac’s crime rate. Violent crime rates a 58.5 out of 100, while the national average is nearly 36 percent lower. Property crime fares slightly better with a score of 37.1, which is just 1.5 percent above the U.S. average.
- The Pontiac area does not receive a lot of sun year round, with an average of just 175 sunny days. This is 30 fewer days than the national average. Winters can get very cold with an average mid-January low of 15 degrees. Seniors can discuss ways to combat extreme weather with their assisted living providers.
- The arts and culture scene in Pontiac has vibrant events for seniors to enjoy. The Pontiac Creative Arts Center is a popular space for art exhibits and The Art Experience Inc. is a community center that hosts pop-up galleries and other artistic gatherings.
