What to Consider About Assisted Living in Waterford
Waterford is a charter township in Southeast Michigan that covers over 30 square miles and is home to nearly 73,000 residents. Roughly 14 percent of the township's population is comprised of seniors. To support the aging population, Waterford offers five assisted living facilities. Seniors who are willing to look in the surrounding region for other options will find an additional 51 communities.
In Waterford, as in all of Michigan, assisted living facilities are categorized as homes for the aged or adult foster care, depending on the minimum age of the residents that they serve. Homes for the aged primarily serve older adults over the age of 60, while adult foster care is for adults of any age. Regardless of type, assisted living facilities are licensed and regulated by the Department of Human Services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Waterford
- Waterford is a relatively affordable place for seniors, as its grocery costs are roughly 9 percent below the national average and its healthcare costs are about 17 percent below the U.S. average.
- Social Security benefits are not taxed in Michigan, and while other retirement income is taxable, there is a large deduction to offset the expense. Seniors should consult a tax expert to understand how Michigan’s income tax laws will affect them.
- Waterford is a relatively safe community with an overall crime rate that is significantly below the U.S. average. On a scale of 1 to 100, with 1 being the safest, the property crime rate in Waterford is 21.6, compared to the national average of 38.1, and the violent crime rate is 15.9, compared to the U.S. average of 31.1. This may provide peace of mind for seniors who are transitioning to assisted living in this community.
- Waterford is home to numerous arts and recreational facilities for seniors to enjoy. The Waterford Senior Center often provides supervised day trips to venues like the Waterford Performing Arts Center, where seniors can catch a live performance.
- The Waterford area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Henry Ford Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Waterford has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Golden Age Club, an organization that provides recreational and sports activities for older adults, as well as one senior center.
