What to Consider About Assisted Living in Clarissa

Clarissa is a small city in Todd County, Minnesota. It's home to an estimated 654 residents, and more than 30% of them are aged 65 and older. As residents of Clarissa age, the demand for assisted living care rises. 

Seniors in the area who require such care can choose from two assisted living facilities, both of which are located within Clarissa's city limits. In Clarissa, as well as throughout the state of Minnesota, these facilities are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Clarissa

  • The cost of living in Clarissa is more than 20% below the U.S. average, which makes it an affordable option for seniors with limited income.
  • Crime rates are low in Clarissa, which may help seniors who live there to feel a stronger sense of security. On a scale of 1 to 100 where 100 represents high crime, violent crime in Clarissa is rated 8.9 while property crime is rated 19.8. By comparison, the average U.S. city has a violent crime rating of 22.7 and a property crime rating of 35.4.
  • Winters in Clarissa are cold and very snowy. The area gets an average of 47 inches of snow each year, which is 19 inches more than the national average. Seniors in Clarissa should make sure to search for an assisted living facility that offers plenty of indoor activities and amenities to make winter days indoors pass quickly.
  • The Clarissa area has excellent air quality. On a scale of 1 to 100 where 100 is best, the air is rated 91. Seniors, particularly those with cardiovascular or respiratory illnesses, can safely breathe the air in Clarissa without concern for how it may affect their health condition.
  • There are no healthcare facilities in Clarissa in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest facility located in Eagle Bend.
