What to Consider About Assisted Living in New Brighton

New Brighton assisted living facilities are overseen by the Assisted Living Licensure department within the Minnesota Department of Health. This department manages facility licensing and is also responsible for performing on-site inspections. Facilities must comply with regulations relating to care standards, health and safety, staff training and the levels of care provided.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in New Brighton

  • The state of Minnesota taxes all forms of retirement income, but offers tax deductions for those whose income is below a certain threshold. This is less senior-friendly than the tax policies in some other states. Seniors who live in assisted living facilities usually have fairly predictable outgoings, however, making it easy for them to manage their finances.
  • Violent crime rates in New Brighton are far lower than average, and property crime is similar to the national average. Assisted living facilities usually have security cameras and staffing 24/7, allowing seniors to feel safe and reducing the need to be concerned about burglaries or thefts.
  • New Brighton usually has warm and wet summers, with cold, windy winters. Snow is common during the colder months of the year. The generally wet weather may not appeal to those who love outdoor activities, but the average temperatures throughout the year are usually more comfortable than most other cities in Minnesota.
  • The cost of living in the city is above average for Minnesota, however, health care costs are below average for the state. Room and board are covered as a part of assisted living fees, so most seniors who live in such communities have limited outgoings. The opportunity to save money on other forms of medical care could be appealing for many seniors.
  • Getting around New Brighton is easy for older adults thanks to transportation options such as the RIDES Program. This program offers those aged 60 and over door-to-door transportation. Riders are asked to donate what they can afford to cover the volunteer driver’s costs. The city also has a good general public transit network.
