What to Consider About Assisted Living in Springfield

Originally named Burns in honor of John and Daniel Burns, the first settlers to arrive in the area, the city of Springfield, Minnesota, was established 1869. Lying in the middle of some of Minnesota's most fertile farmland, the settlement quickly grew to a village and was eventually Springfield in 1869, renamed after a natural spring in the area. It officially became a city in 1923.

The city consists of 2,015 residents, of whom 26.7% are over the age of 65. To serve this high percentage of seniors the City has two assisted living facilities licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health with a third located nearby.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Springfield

  • Springfield is a economical area to live in. Its cost of living is 21% lower than the national average and 27% below the state norm. The one downside is that healthcare costs are slightly higher than the Minnesota median, despite being 13 points below the national average. Overall, Springfield could work for seniors on a tight budget.
  • Crime in Springfield is nearly non-existent. Its property crime rate is 5.9 as compared to the national average of 35.4 and state rate of 33.2. Violent crime is only marginally higher with a rate of 7.1 versus the national median of 22.7 and state median of 15.7. Security minded seniors will likely be impressed with Springfield.
  • For seniors who enjoy the outdoors the climate in Springfield is a mixed blessing. Summer highs only reach the mid-80s making it very pleasant. Winter lows though drop into the single-digits and the city averages 41 inches of snow a year.
  • The air in Springfield received a rating of 90 on the EPA's National Air Toxics Assessment. Considering that 100 is a perfect score, this could make the area attractive for seniors with pulmonary and respiratory problems.
  • The Springfield area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Mayo Clinic, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • The City of Springfield has few options for seniors who enjoy the arts and cultural activities and public transportation is non-existent in this small rural town. For non-driving seniors, this could be cause for concern.
