What to Consider About Assisted Living in Ypsilanti

Michigan's Department of Human Services Bureau of Community and Health Systems licenses and regulates assisted living communities locally and statewide. The agency also provides a searchable database of all licensed facilities and additional resources, such as a list of resident rights and responsibilities, to help seniors and their families navigate the system.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Ypsilanti

 

  • Ypsilanti has a moderate climate typical of most Midwestern cities, with hot summers and cold winters. The city gets about 45 inches of annual snowfall and 178 sunny days per year, which is lower than the U.S. average of 205 days. However, assisted living communities provide indoor amenities and activities to help seniors stay active during bad weather.
  • According to a 100-point index, the cost of living in Ypsilanti is roughly 5% less than the national average. Although the city is more expensive than other areas of Michigan, assisted living communities offer fixed monthly rates for necessities such as housing, meals and transportation to help with affordability.
  • Based on a 100-point index, crime rates in Ypsilanti are higher than national figures. The city ranks at 42.9 for violent crime and 45 for property crime, compared to the respective U.S. averages of 22.7 and 35.4. However, assisted living communities have 24-hour security to ensure residents stay safe.
  • Michigan doesn't tax military pensions or Social Security benefits, which can be helpful for seniors using these funds to pay for assisted living. Additionally, adults aged 65 and older may qualify for the Homestead Property Tax Credit, a tax reimbursement based on annual income.
  • Based on a 100-point index, residents of Ypsilanti pay nearly 11% less for health care than the U.S. average. There are also 607 physicians available per 100,000 population, which is significantly higher than the national median of 210 physicians, making medical care more accessible for seniors.
  • Since Ypsilanti is part of the Ann Arbor metro area, there are several high-quality medical care options available locally. Ranked as a Top 100 Hospital by Fortune/IBM Watson, Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital provides various specialty services and a 24-hour emergency department. Seniors can also visit Forest Health Medical Center to access crucial care not provided at assisted living communities.
