What to Consider About Assisted Living in Canton

The seat of Lincoln County, Canton, South Dakota, is just a twenty-minute drive from Sioux Falls and is home to a considerable senior demographic — nearly 17 percent of the population is 65 and over. Currently, there are two assisted living facilities in Camden and a further twenty in close proximity. The state’s assisted living facilities are regulated by the South Dakota Department of Health. These facilities are designed to help seniors with activities of daily living and provide them with a comfortable, welcoming and safe home in a community of peers. Some of the facilities are equipped to offer specialized care to seniors who may have a condition like dementia or a disability. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Canton

  • Seniors concerned about saving money may be pleased to know that South Dakota is one of several states that does not tax social security checks.
  • The cost of living index in Canton is 87, which is considerably less than the national cost of living index of 100. As a result, seniors may find more funds in their budgets to help pay for services and amenities like assisted living care.
  • Many seniors care considerably about community safety. Canton has an average annual crime rate of 1,006 crimes per 100,000 people. This is much lower than the national rate which is 2,837 crimes per 100,000 people.
  • Canton has an array of resources for seniors, including the Canton Senior Center, which offers educational programs, recreational activities, and social gatherings.
  • Canton is home to outstanding medical facilities, including the Sanford Canton-Inwood Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies and illness.
  • The weather in Canon can be extremely cold and blustery during the winter season, and this can make it difficult for seniors to easily traverse the city. The average January low is seven degrees Fahrenheit.

Paying for Assisted Living in Canton

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Canton

South Dakota offers a waiver to help pay for the costs associated with an assisted living facility. The South Dakota Medicaid Home and Community-Based Options and Person Centered Excellence (HOPE) Waiver provides financial assistance for seniors who reside at an assisted living facility. There is a cap on these funds, however, so even seniors who're eligible for assistance may spend time on a waiting list.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in South Dakota page.
