Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lexington
- Lexington is located on the eastern side of Michigan’s Lower Penninsula, on the shore of Lake Huron, which contributes to its cold climate, which may be tough for seniors in the winter. The average low temperature in January is 15 degrees and the average high is 30 degrees. Lexington’s average temperatures range from 62 to 82 degrees in July.
- Lexington has a moderate cost of living, at 92 percent of the national average. Housing is especially low at 66 percent of the national average, but healthcare is 14 percent above the national average, which can be tough for seniors on a fixed income. Transportation is also more expensive, at six percent above the national average.
- Lexington has a low overall crime rate and is safer than about 80 percent of all cities in the United States, so seniors can breathe easier while running errands. The annual rate of violent crime is particularly low in Lexington, at 0.9 per thousand people. The annual rate of violent crime in Michigan is 4.59 per thousand people and 4.0 in the United States in comparison.
- The Sanilac Transportation Authority provides public transportation within Sanilac County, including Lexington. All of these buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts to provide access for the mobility impaired. Certified service animals are also allowed on STA buses.
- The Sanilac County Building Ties Committee meets the needs of older adults in the county by establishing interagency linkages and developing joint programs. Some of the most popular programs include the Senior County Fair, Senior Prom and Senior Writing Project. This committee also provides a comprehensive list of services available for senior citizens in Sanilac County.
