What to Consider About Assisted Living in Maplewood

In Maplewood, all assisted living facilities are licensed through the Minnesota Department of Health, Health Regulation Division.

It also provides information on reporting elder abuse, exploitation or neglect.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Maplewood

 

  • All forms of retirement income that are taxed at the federal level are taxable in Minnesota, including Social Security benefits. Tax rates vary from 5.35% to 9.85%, but those aged 65 and over whose income is below $33,700 can deduct up to $9,600 from their taxable income. This may help some older adults afford assisted living expenses in Maplewood.

Fortunately, while housing and transportation costs run a little high in this city, many assisted living facilities have all-inclusive pricing to help residents accurately plan for monthly expenses.
  • Property crime is fairly prevalent in Maplewood, but the city’s low violent crime rate may provide peace of mind to active seniors. On a 100-point index, the city scores 64.9 for property-related offenses, which is well above the national norm of 35.4. However, the violent crime rate is much lower at 17 versus 22.7 nationally.

Residents see about 51 inches of snow annually, with 7 months out of the year experiencing significant snowfall, and the city gets 33 inches of rain. Fortunately, assisted living facilities typically plan indoor and outdoor activities throughout the year to accommodate a range of preferences.
  • M Health Fairview St. John's Hospital is located in Maplewood proper and has specialties in areas such as emergency care, heart health and cancer treatment, ensuring assisted living residents can receive high-quality medical support close to home. On average, health care costs in this city are about 12% lower than in a typical U.S. city, and there are 279 doctors per capita versus 210 nationally.
  • Maplewood funds a volunteer-based transportation service for seniors in the city, helping them maintain their independence, even if they no longer drive. This can help supplement transportation services available through local assisted living facilities.
