What to Consider About Assisted Living in Minnetonka

The Minnesota Department of Health issues all assisted living licenses through the Health Regulation Division. Comprehensive application requirements and routine inspections help give seniors access to safe and healthy residential care options that focus on the quality of life. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Minnetonka

  • While the general cost of living is on the high side all over Minnesota, health care costs are very affordable in Minnetonka. The city’s seniors save 24.2% on health-related costs compared with the national average. When compared with the state average, Minnetonka seniors save a bit more than 2%. 
  • Minnetonka can be a great choice for a safe retirement, given its crime index. The city has a violent crime ranking of just 9.9 out of 100, which is well below the national average of 22.7. It also scores well in the property crime category with a 25.6 versus the 35.4 that makes up the nationwide score.
  • Minnetonka offers pleasant summers and long fall and spring seasons. The city does get plenty of snow and colder weather during the winter, but that might not concern people in an assisted living community where there’s no need for residents to shovel snow.
  • Minnesota taxes pensions and other retirement income sources, but it offers programs such as property tax deferment and free tax assistance to seniors who earn less than $60,000 per year. Seniors can get assistance navigating IRS programs and negotiating with tax assessors. 
  • Seniors can get emergency medical services at hospitals such as the North Memorial Health Clinic and one of the many HealthPartners locations that serve Minnesota. A high number of Medicare-registered physicians also practice in the Minnetonka area.
