Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pewaukee

  • Pewaukee's overall AARP Livability Index score is 54, indicating it's one of the nation's top 50% of communities for age-friendliness. High individual AARP livability index category scores for Health of 63 and Engagement of 69 mean that access to quality health care and civic and social involvement opportunities for local seniors are notably better than in an average U.S. community.
  • Pewaukee boasts a 24-hour community hospital with a 7-bed emergency department. Furthermore, Waukesha County's ratio of primary care physicians to residents of 1 to 720 is notably better than Wisconsin's statewide ratio of 1 to 1,240.
  • Pewaukee is a comparatively expensive city, where the cost of living is 7.3% above the national median and 19.4% above the Wisconsin state norm. On the plus side, health care and transportation costs fall below national averages by 6.2% and 3.2%, respectively. Residents also don't pay Wisconsin income tax on Social Security, military and uniformed services or railroad retirement benefits.
  • Pewaukee's violent crime ranking is 7.4 out of 100 — significantly better than the U.S. average of 22.7. Its property crime ranking is slightly worse, at 20.7 out of 100, but is still better than the national average of 35.4. These rankings mean seniors in Pewaukee are statistically less likely to become victims of a crime than those living in most U.S. cities.
  • An assortment of local attractions and amenities, including a library, more than 40 restaurants, over a dozen churches, 6 city parks and a public beach, provides Pewaukee's assisted living residents with a choice of nearby places to visit during scheduled outings.
  • With a snowy period lasting 5.1 months of the year and average daily lows as low as 15 degrees Fahrenheit in January, Pewaukee's winter weather is very cold. On the bright side, summer daily highs average 77 degrees Fahrenheit and rarely exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
