What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pigeon

Pigeon is a small bedroom community in the heart of Huron County, located near the northern tip of Michigan's still rural thumb area. Somewhat more than 31,000 people live in the Huron area, with a little over 25% of residents being seniors aged 65 and over.

Seniors in Pigeon have four assisted living facilities to choose from where they can get room and board, plus assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as help with transportation and personal care. Many, but not all, of these communities are overseen by the Michigan Department of Human Services, which regulates residential senior care facilities in the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pigeon

  • The weather in Pigeon is generally mild in summer and chilly in winter. Pigeon warms to an average temperature of 81 degrees in summer, while winter nights average temperatures as low as 14 degrees. The warm season in Pigeon brings roughly 33 inches of rain each year, which can raise allergens and create an issue for some seniors with asthma.
  • The cost of living in Pigeon is up to 23% below the national average across most categories of household spending. Seniors in Pigeon get less of a discount for their healthcare, though medical costs in Pigeon remain up to 12% lower than the average national cost.
