What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mendota

In spite of its relatively small size, the city of Mendota is home to over 325 acres of parkland, over a quarter of which are lakeside, where visitors can fish and enjoy walking trails and picnic areas. The city is home to over 7,000 residents, about 19% of whom are age 65 and over. There are two local assisted living facilities for seniors to choose from. 

In Mendota, as is the case in all of Illinois, assisted living facilities provide personal care services and assistance with daily living activities. These facilities are governed by the  Illinois Department of Public Health. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mendota

  • The crime rate in Mendota is 34 out of 100, meaning that the city is safer than 34% of cities of all sizes across the nation. Compared to the rest of Illinois, the city's crime rate is higher than 75% of cities. Seniors may want to seek out an assisted living community that has features like security cameras and high-security locks.  
  • Mendota has a relatively cool climate, with summer highs in the low-80s and winter lows around 16 degrees. Summers tend to be fairly humid, which may be a consideration for seniors with conditions like asthma or COPD.
  • Mendota is a very affordable place to live, with the overall cost of living coming in at 20% below both the state and national averages. The cost of utilities and groceries are on par with the national average, although healthcare expenses are about eight percent higher than in the nation as a whole. Real estate is very affordable here, however, which may reduce the cost of assisted living and leave more money in the budget for other living expenses.  
  • Seniors in Mendota do not pay state income tax on any type of retirement income, even that which is taxed at the federal level. This may let them put more money toward assisted living expenses.   
  • The Mendota area is home to world-class medical facilities, including OSF HealthCare Saint Paul Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Mendota has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Mendota Area Senior Services, an organization that provides local seniors with transportation services, congregate meals and social events.
