The 5 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Romeo, MI for 2024

 

Romeo is a small village in the Detroit metropolitan area that offers a downtown shopping district, a park and cultural events throughout the year, all within minutes of major medical facilities, such as Beaumont Hospital, Troy and Henry Ford Macomb Hospital. It has about 3,700 residents and a large senior community that makes up nearly a quarter of the population, increasing the need for long-term care solutions.

There are several assisted living facilities in Romeo and the surrounding area, including locally owned options and national chains. While accommodations range from small, close-knit environments to resort-style settings, all facilities provide help with daily living activities, such as bathing and dressing, meal preparation and recreational activities. Monthly fees depend largely on a given facility’s amenities and, in some cases, on a resident’s care needs, but rates in this city average $4,215. This aligns with Michigan’s average of $4,250 and offers hundreds of dollars in potential savings over the nation’s typical rate of $4,500.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Romeo

Michigan’s Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Bureau officially recognizes assisted living facilities in Romeo as homes for the aged, and it enforces a set of rules that outline minimum standards for housing, staff screening and orientation, care planning and meal and medication services. These rules may vary depending on a facility’s size and the scope of services it provides.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Romeo

 

  • Due to its small size, Romeo doesn’t have its own hospital. However, its location within the Detroit metropolitan area gives local assisted living residents access to several major hospitals, including Beaumont Hospital, Troy in Troy and Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in Clinton Township. These hospitals provide emergency, primary and specialty care services, along with a variety of community outreach programs, such as classes and affordable clinics.

 

  • Seniors in Romeo can claim large state income tax deductions on income from their retirement accounts, as well as private pensions, and the state doesn’t tax government pensions or Social Security benefits. Because the state’s income tax laws are relatively friendly to retirees, assisted living in Romeo is a viable option for those with fixed incomes.

 

  • Particle pollution, which includes dust, smoke and pollen, is minimal in Romeo, with the American Lung Association giving the region an A for 24-hour pollution levels, as well as annual pollution levels. However, the city has high levels of ozone pollution, also called smog, which may negatively affect seniors with certain heart or lung conditions. In a typical year, the organization reports 16 days in which ozone pollution may be concentrated enough to impact the health of vulnerable individuals. Fortunately, many assisted living facilities have indoor activities throughout the year, including on high-ozone days.

 

  • Seniors in Romeo may obtain transportation services through SMART, the region’s only transportation provider. It provides curb-to-curb services in Romeo, which seniors must schedule in advance, and can connect residents to the fixed ride service, which runs routes throughout the county. The program has a reduced fare program for those aged 65 and over, further promoting access to transportation.    

 

  • While the cost of living in Romeo is high compared to Michigan’s norm, it comes in lower than the national average. On a 100-point index based on nationwide average living costs, the city scores 97.9, about six points above Michigan’s score of 91.5. Fortunately, Michigan funds programs such as the MI Choice Waiver Program, which covers some assisted living costs for qualified seniors.

This option exceeds the cost of adult day health care, which comes in at $1,430 and features daytime custodial services and recreational activities in a community environment. However, because assisted living includes housing, meals and utility services, it’s ultimately more economical for many seniors. Additionally, those who obtain care in private residences pay 36% more for nonmedical in-home care, an option that encompasses companionship and custodial services, and home health care, which also includes skilled nursing. Nursing homes, which accommodate seniors with advanced medical and personal care needs, charge even higher rates of $8,882 for services.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Romeo

Seniors residing in assisted living facilities in Romeo can apply for financial assistance under the Medicaid State Plan, which covers the cost of services provided in homes for the aged.
