What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pierz

Pierz is a small town in Minnesota that boasts close proximity to a sprawling golf course, a drive-in theater and a number of green spaces for its residents to enjoy. The town is part of Morrison County, which has a population of 33,169 people, 19.6% of whom are aged 65 years and older. Pierz seniors rely on the town's two assisted living facilities for their care. 

Assisted living in Pierz and in Minnesota is classified as a set of services that provide help with at least three activities of daily living (ADLs), among other provisions. These services must be provided by a class A or class F home care provider or by a site registered with the Minnesota Department of Health. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pierz

  • Minnesota is not tax-friendly towards retirees, which may be a concern to Pierz seniors on a budget. The state partially taxes Social Security and fully taxes withdrawals from retirement accounts, along with private and public pension income.
  • The Pierz area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the St. Gabriel Community Health Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Seniors in Pierz can take part in laid-back community activities such as the Rock, Roll and Stroll classic car event or Oktoberfest, which celebrates the town's long-standing German heritage. 
  • The overall cost of living in Pierz is 3.4% less than the national average, making it a relatively affordable place for seniors. Out of all spending sectors, residents can expect to pay the least for transportation and the most for housing. 
  • Seniors will appreciate that crime in Pierz is very low, with property crime and violent crime rates registering well below the national averages with ratings of 6 and 6.5 out of 100, respectively.
  • The weather in Pierz is a little less sunny than the national average, with around 195 sunny days per year, but makes up for it with an average of 10 fewer inches of rain per year than the rest of the country. The town does receive quite a bit of snow with 47 inches per year, on average.
