What to Consider About Assisted Living in Westland
Having been ranked number 11 on lists for both Best Cities for Seniors and Best Cities for a Healthy Retirement, Westland is definitely worth considering when looking for assisted living facilities.
The term assisted living facility is not officially recognized by the State of Michigan. The term they use is Adult Foster Care Facility (AFCF). Regardless of the name, these facilities provide assistance with the basic needs of seniors like eating, bathing, dressing and grooming while still allowing them their independence.
In Westland, these communities fall under the venue of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) which divides them into six categories depending on the number of people they care for and whether the facility has staff living on site. There are seven ALFs in Westland itself with another 49 residing in the surrounding area.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Westland
-
Westland's cost of living is 14 percent below the U.S. average. The largest part of this difference is due to housing costs well below the national mean and wouldn't benefit ALF residents but it should be noted that groceries costs are also 5 percent below the norm. Making it ideal for seniors on tight budgets.
- According to the National Air Toxics Assessment, the air quality in Westland is 6 points below the national average. For seniors with respiratory problems, this could be a major consideration.
- The weather in Westland is not for those sensitive to cold or damp conditions. The city averages a full 6 foot of rain and snow each year and winter temperatures can remain below freezing for long periods of time. For active seniors who enjoy the outdoors, this could be a great hindrance.
- Overall crime in Westland is very close to the national norm. With a violent crime rate of 33 and property crimes running 41.5, the cities ratings are within 3 percent of the median for the country. Making it one of the safer areas for seniors in the greater Detroit area.
- The Westland area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Beaumont Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Westland has an array of community resources for seniors, including a Senior Resources Department that coordinates meals on wheels, senior only trips and tours, massage sessions, health screenings and many more unique activities as well as a senior center.
