The township itself is home to two such facilities, and there are an additional 33 nearby for families who want more choices.

Both types of facilities are licensed by the Department of Human Services. 

• The American Lung Association gave Macomb County, which is the county that Clinton Township is situated in, an F for ozone pollution and a B for 24-hour particle pollution. Since poor air quality can exacerbate the symptoms of respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses, families who are considering placing their loved one in memory care in this area should speak with their medical provider to discuss any concerns.  
• The cost of living in this community is a little higher than both state and national averages. However, healthcare expenses are slightly lower here than in the rest of the state and about 17 percent below the national average, which may help seniors on a budget handle the financial burden of managing a chronic condition like Alzheimer's disease.
