What to Consider About Assisted Living in Princeton

Princeton is a small city located on Rum River and home to just 4,700 people in the 2010 Census, around 20 percent of whom were aged 65 and over. This has allowed the city to keep its small-town atmosphere, and seniors can get involved in a number of events throughout the year, including the Rum River Festival, Chili Fest and Winter Gala.

People wishing to retire to the area will find two assisted living facilities in the city and a further eight in nearby communities including Cambridge, Milaca and Elk River. These facilities are licensed and monitored by Minnesota's Home Care and Assisted Living Program.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Princeton

  • The overall cost of living in Princeton is rated 106 on Sperling's index, six points higher than the national average. Despite this, seniors can save money on groceries, which are seven points lower than the national average, and health care, which is 13 points lower.
  • Winters in Princeton can be extremely cold. January's average low temperature is just two degrees, and the city gets 43 inches of snow each year, 17 inches more than the U.S. average. This may make it difficult for seniors to get around during the winter months.
  • The Princeton area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Fairview Northland Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Public transport in Princeton is provided six days a week by Timber Trails Public Transit. Riders must schedule trips at least one day in advance, and there are regularly scheduled routes that allow people to do their shopping or catch connections to towns further away.
  • Princeton has an overall crime rate of 39 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is higher than 94 percent of Minnesota's other towns and cities. Although the violent crime rate is lower than the state average, property crime occurs at a rate of 37.39 per 1,000 residents, compared to the Minnesota average of 21.33. Seniors may wish to take steps to secure their belongings in the area.
  • Minnesota taxes all forms of retirement income, including Social Security, retirement funds and pensions. In addition, sales taxes in the state are relatively high, which may impact seniors who have a fixed income.
