What to Consider About Assisted Living in Zeeland
Zeeland is located in southwest Michigan and is home to several parks, including the Huizenga Park, where visitors can enjoy walking trails, picnic shelters and a small fishing pond. This small city has just over 5,500 residents, with the senior community making up almost a quarter of the population.
In Zeeland, assisted living facilities are officially called homes for the aged, and they accommodate older adults aged 60 and over. These facilities are licensed by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Zeeland has two assisted living facilities, and there are over a dozen more in the surrounding region.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Zeeland
- Safety in Zeeland is rated 31 out of 100, meaning that the city has a lower crime rate than 31% of cities of all sizes across the country. However, when compared only to cities with similar population sizes, Zeeland's crime rate was near the midpoint. This may provide peace of mind for seniors researching local assisted living options.
- Summers in Zeeland are very comfortable with highs around 82 degrees and relatively low humidity levels, giving active seniors plenty of opportunities to enjoy the region's outdoor amenities. Winters are cold, however, with lows around 19, and the city gets an estimated 80 inches of annual snowfall.
- Zeeland provides its residents with mass transportation through MAX Transit service. This service operates 10 routes throughout the area and operates Monday through Saturday. Seniors age 65 and older ride all fixed routes for free.
- The Zeeland area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Zeeland Community Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- In Zeeland, as in all of Michigan, seniors do not pay state income tax on their Social Security benefits. While other forms of retirement income are taxed, senior taxpayers can claim a large benefit to minimize or eliminate this expense.
- Zeeland's overall cost of living is only slightly higher than the statewide average and on par with the national average. The cost of housing is about 15% higher than the national average and 30% higher than the state average, which may result in slightly higher assisted living expenses.
