What to Consider About Assisted Living in Prior Lake

The Minnesota Department of Health safeguards the well-being and safety of seniors residing in assisted living communities by licensing facilities and screening employees. It conducts inspections to ensure facilities meet specified guidelines and publishes its findings to boost public awareness.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Prior Lake

 

  • Health care costs run 14.3% lower than the national average in Prior Lake, which can offer seniors significant savings for their out-of-pocket expenses during doctors' visits and medical tests. Many assisted living facilities also provide in-house physicians and therapists, which can help reduce medical costs even more.

 

  • The cost of living in Prior Lake is just 6% higher than the rest of the nation's median price, with most of the difference occurring in the housing sector. Groceries tend to be cheaper, and utility costs are equal to the national norm. Seniors may notice a slight increase in public transportation fees, but assisted living residents often enjoy scheduled rides that offset this expense.

 

  • Minnesota maintains a strict income tax law that charges a percentage of every type of retirement income, including Social Security. State sales taxes are the sixth highest in the nation. However, property taxes are comparable to national figures. Elderly homeowners may qualify for a Homestead Credit Refund to ease their financial burden, and they can seek out free tax counseling that may help them locate additional tax deductions and credits.

 

  • Scott County ranks well for air quality, especially compared to counties with metropolitan cities. The low levels of ozone and air particles in the area can help reduce irritation in seniors' respiratory systems and make it easier for individuals with chronic lung issues to breathe.

 

  • Minnesota winters require thoughtful preparation, as they are typically quite harsh, with temperatures dropping below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Snow accumulations commonly happen in December, but 6 months of the year can see some amount of frozen precipitation. Seniors who enjoy warm-weather activities may benefit from the state's mild summers. Additionally, by taking advantage of the indoor activities and amenities that assisted living facilities provide, Minnesota elders can maintain their preferred lifestyles during the cold weather months.
