What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mendota Heights

Mendota Heights is a southern suburb in the Minneapolis-St, Paul area. The small city has a population of 11,343, of whom 21.4 percent are age 65 and older. The large senior population in the city has three assisted living facilities from which to choose. There are also another 175 facilities throughout the Twin Cities area. 

Minnesota doesn't license assisted living as a distinct category. Facilities in Mendota Heights and the rest of the state have to register annually with the Minnesota Department of Health as a housing with services establishment and meet the qualifications required for Class A or Class F home care agencies to use the assisted living.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mendota Heights

  • The Mendota Heights area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in St. Paul.
  • Metro Transit provides public bus service throughout the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, including Mendota Heights. Seniors age 65 and over qualify for reduced fares with a Minnesota State ID that has a "T" endorsement. They can also apply for the Transit Assistance Program (TAP), which is a program offered by Metro Transit to low-income individuals that gives them a $1 bus fare all day.
  • Minnesota isn't considered a state that's tax-friendly for seniors. The state imposes a partial income tax on Social Security benefits. Pension payments and withdrawals from retirement accounts are fully taxed at a rate of 5.35 percent. This tax could limit the amount of money seniors have available to cover monthly assisted living costs.
  • The cost of living in Minnesota Heights is 23 percent higher than the national average. Mostly due to higher housing costs, seniors should expect healthcare services to cost about 6 percent more than the national average. However, they still average seven percent lower than the state average.
  • Mendota Heights weather is similar to that of other Minnesota cities. Summers are mild with average high temperatures in July at 76 degrees. However, winters are cold and snowy, with an average low temperature of 17 degrees in January. This could make it difficult for family members to visit loved ones who reside in assisted living facilities at times.

Paying for Assisted Living in Mendota Heights

Assisted Living costs in Mendota Heights start around $11,000 per month on average, while the nationwide average cost of assisted living is $4,000 per month, according to the latest figures from Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey.
