What to Consider About Memory Care in Farmington Hills

In Farmington Hills, the  Michigan Department of Human Services, Adult Foster Care and Homes for the Aged Licensing Division oversees the licensing and operation of all adult foster care homes, homes for the aged and care facilities offering specialized dementia programs. This agency conducts annual inspections to ensure these facilities are following the established state laws and regulations. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Farmington Hills

 

  • Farmington Hills consistently ranks among the safest cities in Michigan, which may provide peace of mind to seniors and their families. Ranked on a scale from 1 to 100, with 100 representing high crime, the city earns a rating of 11.4 for violent crime, which is nearly 50% lower than the U.S. average of 22.7. Property crime rates are also low, scoring a 20.8 compared to the national rating of 35.4.
  • The city is well-equipped to support seniors' health and wellness needs as they age. Not only are health care costs over 17% lower than the national average, but the city also has numerous health care professionals. There are 454 physicians for every 100,000 residents in Farmington Hills, which is more than double the national average of 210.
  • Despite the affordability of health care, overall living costs in Farmington Hills are high. Based on the U.S. average of 100, the city receives a cost of living index rating of 106.6, which is roughly 16% higher than the Michigan state median. Fortunately, some key factors that contribute to this high score, such as housing and transportation costs, are generally included in seniors' monthly memory care rates.
  • Michigan is also considered tax-friendly toward retirees. Social Security retirement benefits are not taxed at the state level, and all other types of retirement income, including pensions, IRAs and 401(k)s, are eligible for deductions.
  • Residents of Farmington Hills experience four distinct seasons, including very cold winters. Temperatures can drop as low as 16 degrees, and the area sees an average of 39 inches of snow during the season. However, summers are warm and humid, with temperatures typically ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s, allowing plenty of opportunities for seniors to enjoy supervised time outdoors.
  • The air quality in the area is a bit below average. The American Lung Association assigns the region a D-grade in terms of the number of high ozone days it sees annually. However, in terms of 24-hour particle pollution, the area is assigned an A rating and an overall passing grade.
