West Bloomfield’s low crime rate and high number of physicians are part of what makes it such an appealing retirement destination for its 14,565 seniors. The city’s residents have the choice of several hospitals for medical care, including Henry Ford West Bloomfield, which is ranked 12th in the state. Although West Bloomfield’s overall cost of living is around 15% more than the United States average and higher than the statewide figure, its average costs of health care services are below the national and state figures. For nursing home care, the city’s seniors spend an average of $8,821 per month, a bit below the state’s median cost.
In addition to assistance with personal care, West Bloomfield’s nursing homes usually offer medication management, wound care, injections and diabetes management. Physicians and nurses supervise residents 24/7, and most facilities also offer rehabilitative services. Seniors who don’t need such extensive medical care and attention may find that assisted living or home care is a better fit for their lifestyle and needs.
In this guide, we cover the cost of senior care in West Bloomfield and provide an overview of several resources that can help seniors choose and pay for nursing home care or delay it by receiving in-home services.
