Michigan, while considered the central hub for the United States automotive industry, is also the home base for the Kellogg Company in Battle Creek, and Motown Sound in Detroit. Assisted living is still a concern for seniors no matter what their background was in Michigan’s workforce.

Michigan is the eighth most populated state and this includes an estimated 1.4 million seniors over 65 years old. These seniors’ numbers are growing fast, and will want more in the way of assisted living housing and nursing home care centers to meet their health care needs.

The Bureau of Health Systems governs licensing of Michigan's health care facilities. Professional health care personnel require licensing and registration by the Bureau of Health Professions. The Office of Children and Adult Licensing oversee the assisted living facilities and their residents' well-being.

Michigan’s economy has suffered as with many other states over the last few years. Its cost for senior citizens seeking housing has stayed close to the national average. Michigan’s average cost for assisted living housing is at $32,200 a year at a rate of $2,600 a month. Nursing home care averages $78,880 yearly at a rate of $216 a day. Personal property tax is 4.35% with sales tax at 6%.

As with other states, the overall assisted living care charges are slightly higher in the metropolitan areas. Detroit’s large sprawling suburbs bring with it some of the higher assisted living health care charges. Most of the states citizens live in the southern half of the main peninsula, called the mitten by local residents. The Upper Peninsula is more of a remote timbered vacation paradise and copper mine properties.

Michigan’s climate, while largely controlled by the five great lakes that border it, does vary. The southern part of the Lower Peninsula is warmer with hot summers and cold winters. The northern parts have a shorter warm summer season with colder winters. The great lakes do cause a heavy lake snow effect for all Michigan during the middle of the winter season.

Michigan is a leading producer of fruit in the rural farm regions found in the southern half of Michigan. These crops include cherries, apples, and peaches with other normal farm related agricultural products.

While northern Michigan leans towards large timbered forest and prime hunting country. The rest of Michigan does offer several housing choices for retiring seniors. If a senior need more in the way of personal care or health related treatment, they will find solutions here.
