What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cambridge

Even though Cambridge is a small town of around 8,000 residents, 18.4 percent of residents are 65 and older. Luckily, there are nine assisted living facilities (ALFs) in the area, two in Cambridge and seven in the nearby regions of North Branch, Braham, Wyoming and Princeton. The Minnesota Department of Health regulates these facilities to ensure a high level of care, health, and safety standards.

    The temperatures can hit anywhere from 2 to 81 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Air quality in Cambridge, Minnesota is not particularly good, with the EPA’s National Air Toxics Assessment offering a ranking of 71 out of 100 compared to the national average of 58.

The big benefit here is housing, which bucks the general trend and sits much lower than average (81 versus 100). Most other expenses are higher than the average for the rest of the nation.

  • Seniors should note that both property crime (49.2 out of 100) and violent crime (43.6) are higher in Cambridge when compared to the property and violent crime averages for the rest of the country (38.1 and 31.1, respectively). Seniors and their loved ones should make sure that the ALF they select provides physical and asset protections.
