What to Consider About Assisted Living in Williams Bay
On the shoreline of Lake Geneva, in Walworth County, sits the village of Williams Bay, Wisconsin. Most famously known as the home of the world's largest refracting lens telescope, located at the University of Chicago's Yerkes Observatory, this quaint village of just 2,600 has a rich historical past.
In recent years, the village has seen a growth in its senior population, with 22.4 percent of residents aged 65 and older. To serve this segment of the population, there are two assisted facilities located within the metropolitan area and an additional 27 options located in surrounding communities, including Elkhorn, Delavan and Lake Geneva.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Williams Bay
- There is no dedicated public transportation system in Williams Bay, which could make it difficult for seniors to get around the village easily. The Walworth County Wal-to-Wal Dial-a-Ride service does provide a shared ride transportation service for seniors to general appointments and trips to dining venues, as well as some out-of-county non-emergency medical appointments.
- Compared to the crime of the overall Whitewater-Elkhorn metropolitan area, Williams Bay is considerably lower in terms of both violent and property crime, scoring a 28.2 and 32.1 out of 100, respectively. Still, seniors should take common-sense precautions when venturing about on their own.
- Since many activities in Williams Bay are associated with the outdoors, seniors may struggle in winter months, with lows reaching 12 degrees Fahrenheit and an average of 37 inches of snow expected each year. However, summers do get warmer with highs reaching the 80's, giving senior residents a chance to experience all the city has to offer.
- The air quality is Williams Bay is rated an 80 out of 100 (100 being best), which is beneficial in a city with such an abundance of outdoor attractions and activities. Seniors with respiratory conditions should do well in this area.
- The overall cost of living in Williams Bay is higher than both the statewide and national averages. Out of 100, it scores a 112, the largest contributing factor being housing, which could be a concern to seniors transitioning to an assisted living facility. Despite this, everyday expenses, including grocery, health and transportation costs, tend to be lower.
- Less than five minutes from the Williams Bay city center, Lake Geneva is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Mercyhealth Hospital and Medical Center–Walworth, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
