What to Consider About Assisted Living in Chisago City
Chisago City was named after the Chippewa name for Chisago Lake. The area offers many opportunities to learn the town’s history and explore its great outdoors. In addition to the vast array of walking trails and parks, seniors can choose from 19 assisted living facilities (ALFs) within city limits, and another four nearby.
Minnesota does not license ALFs as a separate category, but rather, into either Class A or F facilities, both of which are governed by the Minnesota Department of Health. ALFs refer to packaged services including, but not limited to, 24-hour supervision, assistance with daily living activities, medication management and meal services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Chisago City
Chisago City has temperature extremes that may make it a difficult climate for seniors. Summers have an average high temperature of 83 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing seniors to easily enjoy outdoor activities, but the winters are cold with 51 inches of snowfall and an average low temperature of 4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Chisago City has a slightly higher than average crime rate , which may make seniors and their loved ones feel ill at ease. Violent crime is rated at 42.3 out of 100 (1 being the safest), which is higher than the national average of 31.1. Property crime is rated at 39.2, which is slightly higher than the national average of 38.1.
Seniors receive free fares on the Heartland Express, which provides curb-to-curb transportation services and fixed routes, allowing easy access to shopping venues, doctor’s appointments and local attractions.
The Chisago City area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Fairview Lakes Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.Â
Minnesota is not a tax-friendly state. Social security checks have a partial tax, while public and private pension is fully taxed. This means seniors on a budget may have less money to put towards assisted living and daily needs.
Seniors who enjoy golfing can play on the local Chisago Lakes Golf Course, which offers discounted rates and cart rentals for individuals over 65 years old. Others might enjoy visiting the local farmer’s market or one of the city’s many lakeside parks.
