What to Consider About Assisted Living in Tecumseh
The vibrant city of Tecumseh is situated just 25 miles southwest of Ann Arbor in Lenawee County, Michigan. This city has a rich history that dates back to the early 1800s and is the burial site of General Custer's horse. Today, seniors can visit this site and the city's many historic buildings, shops and outdoor art exhibits.
Tecumseh has a fairly large senior community, with adults over the age of 65 accounting for over 17 percent of the population. To accommodate local seniors, the city has at least two assisted living facilities, and there are 34 nearby. These facilities are licensed and regulated by the Department of Human Services and are designated as "homes for the aged" or "adult foster care," depending on the minimum age of the residents they're licensed to care for.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Tecumseh
- The air quality in Tecumseh is generally good, earning a C for ozone pollution and an A for short-term particle pollution from the American Lung Association. This may be beneficial for seniors who have respiratory or cardiovascular illnesses.
- Tecumseh seniors do not pay taxes on their Social Security benefits, which may allow them to put more money in their assisted living budget. While Michigan does tax other types of retirement income, there is a large deduction to let seniors hold onto the bulk of their income.
- Tecumseh's violent crime rate is lower than the Adrian Metro area, state and national averages, which may provide peace of mind for seniors. The city's rate of property crime is slightly higher than the state average but lower than the nationwide average.
- Tecumseh is a culturally rich city with many options for seniors. The Tecumseh Center for the Arts offers live performances throughout the year, and a self-guided tour on the Art Trail lets seniors enjoy outdoor sculptures at their own pace. The local senior center may offer day trips to venues like these.
- The Tecumseh area is home to world-class medical facilities, including ProMedica Herrick Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Tecumseh has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Lenawee Department on Aging, an organization that provides seniors with resources, nutrition and transportation services and volunteer opportunities, as well as one senior center.
