What to Consider About Assisted Living in Spring Lake
Home to nearly 3,000 residents age 65 and over, Spring Lake is a tranquil township in western Michigan that's surrounded by the waters of Lake Spring and the Grand River. To accommodate many of the seniors in the community, four assisted living facilities are located across the river in Grand Haven and an additional 14 facilities are in the nearby area. Michigan officially recognizes these facilities as Homes for the Aged. They are licensed and regulated by the state's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Spring Lake
- The violent crime rate in Spring Lake is 14.3 points below the national average of 22.7. Seniors in the community feel relatively safe going outside and participating in activities around town. The property crime rate is 12.2 points below the national average of 35.4.
- The overall cost of living in Spring Lake township is 7.6% above the national average of 100. It's also 10.9% higher than the Michigan state average of 96.7. While the area shouldn't be too expensive for seniors looking for assisted living, there are more affordable locations in the state and country.
- Spring Lake is considered a tax friendly location for seniors because the state of Michigan does not tax Social Security income and provides large deductions for other types of retirement income. Most normal distributions from retirement accounts qualify for subtraction. These policies may make assisted living more affordable.
- The American Lung Association gives Ottawa County, where Spring Lake is located, a D for ozone pollution. This means there are about three days per year where ozone levels in the community reach dangerously high levels. Seniors should say indoors on those days so that they don't expose themselves to various health risks.
- Due to Spring Lake's high latitude and location along Lake Michigan, winters can be quite harsh. Average low temperatures in January reach 20 degrees, and the area gets about 79 inches of snow per winter. Seniors in the area may want to check how local assisted living communities prepare for heavy snowfall.
- Spring Lake has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness with the nearest major hospital located in Grand Haven.
