What to Consider About Assisted Living in Muskego

Deriving from the Potawatomi word for “sunfish,” Muskego, Wisconsin, has three lakes for its 24,755 residents to enjoy, including its seniors who make up over 30 percent of the population. 56 assisted living facilities (ALF) in Muskego and surrounding communities provide the elderly with services such as personal care, housekeeping and medication administration. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Bureau of Assisted Living, Division of Quality Assurance is the regulatory agency for these and other ALFs in the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Muskego

 

  • Most seniors rely on pensions, retirement accounts and Social Security. It might be harder to meet financial needs if a senior chooses to live in Muskego, as the overall cost of living is 12.8 percent higher than the national average and 17 percent higher than the state average.
  • Seniors who live in Muskego, Wisconsin, needn’t be overly concerned about physical or property safety. Overall violent crime is just 16.7 out of 100 compared to the national average of 31.1. The property crime rate is 16.5 versus 38.1.
  • Seniors tend to be more prone to respiratory conditions such as asthma, but symptoms of these conditions might lessen for those living in a Muskego ALF.  The air quality is better than average (75 out of 100, 100 being the best, versus 58). The risk of developing a respiratory disease is lower than for the metro region, state and country as well.
  • Seniors will find that Muskego’s climate is on the wetter side. The snowfall (42 inches a year), combined with temperatures dipping into the teens, might make it harder for seniors to participate in recreation, get to appointments or feel physically comfortable. The overall Sperling’s Comfort Index is 38, which is not as good as other Wisconsin cities (most sit in the low 40s) and significantly worse than the national average of 54.
  • Muskego, Wisconsin, offers a vibrant culture with senior-friendly activities and resources, such as the Water Bugs Ski Show. Throughout the year, community organizations such as Friends of the Botanical Gardens and the Muskego Historical Society offer both entertainment and connection opportunities.
  • Muskego seniors can utilize specialized transit services provided by the Waukesha County Department of Aging. The main options are the Shared-Fare Taxi Program and Ride Line Program. The Shuttle Service program provides ambulatory help.
