What to Consider About Assisted Living in Osawatomie

Osawatomie, Kansas, is located in Miami County and offers plenty of activities to keep its 4,450 residents busy. Seniors, who make up 13% of the population, can learn about Kansas history at the John Brown Museum or play through 18 holes at the Osawatomie Golf Course. There's even a senior center in town to put aging citizens in touch with local resources, such as the town's two assisted living facilities, which provide help with the tasks of daily living, such as grooming and meals.

In Osawatomie and throughout Kansas, assisted living facilities and residential care facilities are regulated by the Secretary of Aging and Disability Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Osawatomie

  • The cost of housing in Osawatomie is 44% of the national average, which may be good news for family members moving here to be close to senior loved ones. The overall cost of living is about 17% cheaper than the nation's norm.
  • The city's crime rates track closely to the national averages. For violent crime, Osawatomie rates 23.5, and for property crime, the area scores a 35.7. Seniors may feel confident running errands and attending appointments but may wish to ask what procedures are in place to guarantee resident safety in prospective facilities.
  • While summer highs in July average 86 degrees Fahrenheit, the chilly wintry lows in January reach 19 degrees. However, the town receives 9 inches of snow, less than a third of the national average of 28 inches, which is good news for seniors reliant on walkers or wheelchairs to get around.
  • The respective air and water quality scores of 69 and 60 in Osawatomie exceed the national averages by at least five points. This is good news for retirees looking cleaner air and water than that available in many other cities.
  • In Osawatomie and throughout Kansas, seniors are fully taxed on both retirement savings account income and pensions, which could make it difficult for seniors with lower budgets who want to retire in the area. 
  • The Osawatomie area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Paola.
