What to Consider About Assisted Living in Romeo

Romeo is a quaint village that's located in Macomb County, Michigan. It's well-known for its historic buildings, tree-lined streets and charming main street, which hosts unique local shops and services. Macomb County is home to a little over 870,000 residents, 16.6 percent of whom are over the age of 65. Officially, facilities that provide assisted living to the elderly throughout Michigan are known as Homes for the Aged. There are a total of two of these homes located in Romeo and an additional 40 in surrounding areas such as Armada, Leonard, and Oxford.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Romeo

  • Macomb County's air quality has been assigned a passing grade by the American Lung Association, meaning that seniors don't have to worry about breathing polluted air. 

  • There are no facilities to choose from in the event of medical emergencies or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Mt. Clemens. 

  • Social Security income isn't taxed in Michigan and seniors living in the state pay reduced rates on all other types of retirement income. Seniors in Romeo and its surrounding areas can use these savings towards the cost of assisted living.

  • Public transportation options are limited in Romeo. Seniors will need to rely on friends and family to travel safely throughout the area. Some homes for the aged may offer shuttle services to residents needing to travel to important appointments.

  • The cost of healthcare in Romeo is 17 percent below the national average, which may save seniors quite a bit of money. However, it's worth noting that the overall cost of living in Romeo is actually 25 percent above the U.S. average, mostly as a result of high housing costs. 

  • Seniors living in Romeo can feel safe knowing that both violent and property crime rates are well below the state average. Only 0.28 violent crimes and 11.62 property crimes occur per 1,000 residents in Romeo each year. By comparison, Michigan has average crime rates of 4.59 violent crimes and 19.1 property crimes per 1,000 residents annually.
