What to Consider About Assisted Living in Spring Arbor
Spring Arbor Township, the township of springs, appealed to pioneers traveling through south central Michigan in 1833. Today, 121,890 people call the township home, 11.3% of whom are seniors aged 65 or over. Those over 60 can congregate at the local senior center for lunch, wood carving, knitting or crocheting classes, fitness classes and information on area resources for the elderly. Other seniors, who may find they need assistance with the tasks of daily living, can turn to three local assisted living facilities or 14 more in nearby communities.
The Department of Human Services licenses and regulates homes for the aged, as assisted living facilities are called Spring Arbor and the rest of the state.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Spring Arbor

This is due to lower housing, healthcare and grocery expenses, which may benefit seniors and their family members moving to Spring Arbor from other areas of the country.
- Seniors in Spring Arbor may breathe a little easier than in many areas of the state. The air quality of 81 in Spring Arbor is much higher than the national average of 58. However, this is offset by lower water quality, 50, in the city compared to the national average, 55.
- Michigan is a tax-friendly state for retirees in Spring Arbor and the rest of the state thanks to tax-exempt Social Security income. However, withdrawals from IRAs, 401(k)s and pension income are partially taxed.
- Spring Arbor's violent crime rate is 10.6, approximately half the national average; its property crime rate is 23.0, about 12 points below the national average. Despite lower crime rates, seniors touring assisted living facilities may wish to ask about security measures in place to keep residents and their belongings safe and secure.
- Seniors sensitive to the cold may have to make adjustments to the city's weather. Spring Arbor has an annual temperature range of 16-82 degrees and receives 41 inches of snowfall each year, compared to a national average of 28 inches.
- The Spring Arbor area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Henry Ford Allegiance Family Medicine, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
