What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pipestone

Pipestone is a city rich in history and home of the World's Largest Peace Pipe and the Pipestone National Monument.  Seniors make up about 21% of the population of Pipestone, where two assisted living communities provide accommodation for those who require help with daily living. There are also four other facilities in the nearby communities of Jasper, Flandreau and Egerton. As in all of the state, the Minnesota Department of Health is responsible for assisted living facilities in Pipestone and the surrounding area. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pipestone

  • While Pipestone rates a 6.6 out of 10 on the Best Places Comfort Level, making it higher than the norm for Minnesota, the city does have cold winters and snow does fall. The average winter temperature in January is 21 degrees, so seniors wishing to participate in outdoor activities may want to dress warmly and watch for icy streets. 
  • The crime rate for both violent and property crimes is much lower in Pipestone than in other areas of Minnesota and the United States. This is reassuring for seniors wishing to live in the area. 
  • Unfortunately for seniors on a fixed income, Minnesota has one of the highest tax rates in the country.  All forms of retirement income, including Social Security, are taxed, which is something seniors may want to consider before retiring in Pipestone.
  • Pipestone has a relatively low cost of living which is well under the national average. This may be appealing to seniors living on a limited income. 
  • While the American Lung Association has not measured the air quality in Pipestone, the entire state of Minnesota tends to have good air quality, and this has been improving over recent years. Occasionally, wildfires in other parts of the country and Canada may cause some days of discomfort for seniors with respiratory illnesses. 
  • A historic downtown area with charming boutiques, antique stores and restaurants make the arts and culture scene in Pipestone vibrant. Residents can also enjoy the local Farmer's Market, the Performing Arts Centre and the numerous walking trails within and around the city.
