What to Consider About Assisted Living in Saint Cloud

Assisted Living Licensure is the branch of the Minnesota Department of Health tasked with licensing assisted living facilities in Minnesota. In addition to assessing license candidates, it has the authority to enforce the terms of the license on underperforming facilities and revoke licenses from those that fail to raise their standards. It also has the authority to conduct unannounced inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Saint Cloud

  • St. Cloud joined the AARP Age-Friendly Network in 2020. By becoming a member, the City of St. Cloud has confirmed its commitment to becoming as senior-friendly as possible. It manages an active action plan that focuses on making public spaces better for older residents through renovation and redesign.
  • According to Sperling’s BestPlaces, St. Cloud has a cost of living index of 83.8, which is much lower than Minnesota’s 97.2 and the country’s 100. Consequently, seniors should find they get more for their dollars in the city. This should be especially true for health care and transportation, whose average indices are much lower than their national equivalents.
  • With temperatures regularly falling to 1 degree in January and annual snowfall of around 48 inches, St. Cloud’s older residents need to wrap up in winter. However, summer is much more pleasant. July’s temperature routinely settles at a pleasant 82 degrees, and hot and humid days in summer are infrequent.  
  • Sperling’s BestPlaces ranks St. Cloud at 22.6 for violent crime, which places it slightly below the national average of 22.7. Property crime is more common in the city, being ranked at 59.6 — which is significantly higher than the country’s norm of 35.4. Seniors worried about crime may be pleased to know assisted living facilities typically provide security and surveillance systems as standard and all have staff on-site 24/7.
  • St. Cloud seniors are well-served by the city’s primary medical facility, St. Cloud Hospital. U.S. News and World Report ranks it 3rd in the entire state. It also ranks it among the nation’s best in heart surgery, cardiology, lung surgery and pulmonology, as well as being high-performing in 16 other procedures. Veterans are also well-served, as St. Cloud is home to the St. Cloud VA Medical Center.
  • Dial-a-Ride is a shared ride paratransit service that provides affordable door-to-door transportation services for St. Cloud seniors. To be eligible, the senior must be unable to use the fixed-route system due to a disability.
