Review of Bayfield Assisted Living & Memory Care
Rooms are very nice and spacious, staff is friendly, food is a bit repetitious but good.
Bay City’s median fee for assisted living is at the costlier end of the spectrum for the area, although not as expensive as Midland’s $4,460. However, fees are typically more affordable in the nearest cities included in the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. These include Saginaw ($4,225), Flint ($4,375) and Detroit ($4,215).

Although Bay City’s median monthly fee for assisted living of $4,423 is a little above the state midpoint of $4,250, it’s below the country’s average cost of $4,500. Consequently, the typical Bay City resident saves about $924 annually when compared to the typical American.
Eligible Bay City seniors will find several federal and state programs to help them pay for assisted living. These include Healthy Michigan, MI Choice and Supplemental Security Income Category G.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Michigan page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

Assisted living is possibly the best value senior care option in Bay City because its median fee of $4,423 pays for personal care services, meals, accommodations and organized social events within the facility. In comparison, home care costs around $4,957, but seniors must still pay for their homes. Home health care’s median fee is also $4,957, although this covers basic medical assistance. Adult day care has the most affordable median fee at $1,647 per month, while nursing home care is the costliest at $9,125 for a standard semiprivate room.

Bay City seniors don’t need to handle problems on their own, as there are numerous government agencies and nonprofit organizations operating locally that can help. The following list includes those that specialize in legal issues, durable medical equipment loans, dispute resolutions with care providers and veterans’ benefits.

|---|---|---|

| Medical Loan Closet | (989) 895-5444 | The Disability Services Resource Center operates a medical loan closet that provides durable equipment to needy Bay City residents for free.
