What to Consider About Assisted Living in Nisswa

The City of Nisswa was founded in 1900 and was originally known as Smiley Township. The name changed in 1908 when the town incorporated and is now home to around 2,000 people. Almost a quarter of the population is 65 or older, and there is one assisted living facility in the city for these seniors. A further 13 facilities can be found in nearby communities including Brainerd, Crosby and Pequot Lakes. Assisted living facilities in Nisswa are licensed and monitored by the Home Care and Assisted Living Program. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Nisswa

  • Crow Wing County, including Nisswa, has good air quality according to the State of the Air Report 2018. The report gave the city an "A" grade for ozone pollution and a "B" grade for particle pollution, which is good news for seniors who have respiratory conditions.
  • Crow Wing County Public Transit provides public transportation to Nisswa residents. The service has flexible routes and a limited dial-a-ride service that seniors can use for to travel to medical appointments, shopping trips and for other personal errands. 
  • The Nisswa area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Brainerd.
  • All forms of retirement income are subject to income tax in Minnesota, including Social Security, pensions and retirement funds. Sales tax is also relatively high. Seniors may find their assisted living budgets impacted by tax bills.
  • Winters in Nisswa are very cold, with the low temperature in January averaging -1 degrees Fahrenheit. The city gets 45 inches of snow each year, almost 20 inches more than the national average, which can keep seniors inside regularly during the winter months.
  • The overall cost of living in Nisswa is 105, five points higher than the national average. Although seniors may spend more on groceries, the cost of healthcare in the city is 16 points lower than the national average, which may help to offset the cost of other incidental purchases and expenses.
