What to Consider About Assisted Living in Oak Creek

Located fewer than 15 miles south of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and along the shores of Lake Michigan, Oak Creek, has a population of over 36,000 people, and 12 percent of the residents are age 65 and over. To keep from becoming part of Milwaukee, this town used "The Oak Creek Law" when it incorporated. Seniors who wish to live in Oak Creek but need support with some daily activities can choose among the 42 assisted living communities in the area and the seven within the city limits. It's up to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to oversee and license assisted living facilities. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Oak Creek

  • Seniors can save some money on taxes living in Oak Creek. Wisconsin doesn't tax Social Security retirement income even if it's taxed on the federal level. However, it taxes all other forms of retirement income at a rate of four percent to 7.65 percent.
  • The Oak Creek area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Ascension SE Wisconsin Hospital and Aurora St Luke's Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • With Oak Creek in such close proximity to Milwaukee, seniors can take advantage of a thriving arts and culture scene. Assisted living facilities might take seniors to see a performance of the Milwaukee Ballet or an exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
  • Seniors need a warm winter coat to live in Oak Creek since the snow season lasts for over four months with substantial accumulation. Much of the winter temperatures remain below freezing. Summers are mild, and temperatures rarely reach the low 80s. 
  • Oak Creek is a relatively safe town for seniors. It has an overall crime rate that's nine percent lower than the national average but 18 percent higher than the state's average. 
  • The cost of living in this town is eight percent higher than the national average; however, it's two percent lower than the state's cost of living. Seniors may find this area affordable.
