What to Consider About Assisted Living in Swartz Creek

Swartz Creek is named for the creek that runs through the city and is famous for being the hometown of the country’s first female military general. It’s now home to approximately 5,500 people, with over  22 percent of those residents being 65 or older.

The city’s seniors are served by two assisted living facilities. In nearby communities, such as Burton and Flint, there are an additional 35 facilities. Like assisted living facilities throughout the state, they’re regulated by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Licensed facilities provide personal care and supervision to their senior residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Swartz Creek

  • Swartz Creek has a fairly low rate of both property and violent crimes. It is safer than 56 percent of communities in the country. When only cities of a similar size are considered, Swartz Creek is considerably safer. This may appeal to safety-conscious seniors who enjoy small town living.
  • Swartz Creek has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Flint.
  • As a small city, Swartz Creek offers limited public transit options. Seniors can schedule trips into Flint with the MTA’s Your Ride service. They can also travel throughout Flint on the MTA’s fixed-route buses. Reduced fares are available for seniors.
  • Artistically inclined seniors can join the Swartz Creek Area Art Guild. The city also has weekend horse races at the Sports Creek Raceway. For many more attractions, including museums, live theaters and historic sites, seniors can travel to Flint.
  • An average of 47 inches of snow falls on Swartz Creek each year, nearly twice the national average. January lows are in the low teens, while summer highs only reach into the low 80s.
  • Like the rest of the state, Swartz Creek boasts a cost of living that is lower than the national average. The cost of housing in this city is 27.6 percent lower than the U.S. average, and healthcare and groceries also have below-average costs. Seniors may choose to retire in Swartz Creek to stretch their assisted living budgets.

Paying for Assisted Living in Swartz Creek
