What to Consider About Assisted Living in Shenandoah

The city of Shenandoah, Iowa, is known as the childhood home of the famous singing duo, the Everly Brothers. Located in Fremont and Page counties, Shenandoah has a small-town ambiance but is just an hour's drive from Omaha, Nebraska, and two hours from metropolitan Des Moines, Iowa, and Kansas City, Missouri.

For seniors who wish to establish residency within the area and need assistance with daily living, there are two available assisted living facilities in the city. These communities are regulated by the Iowa Health Facilities Division under the Department of Inspections and Appeals and are officially called Assisted Living Programs.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Shenandoah

  • Iowa’s statewide income tax policy provides reasonable savings to Shenandoah seniors. The state does not tax Social Security income and allows a deduction on public and private pension income and retirement account withdrawals.
  • Shenandoah has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Bricker Senior Center, a venue that provides a variety of activities to residents 60 and over. Regular events include catered dinners, movies, games and exercise classes.
  • The Shenandoah area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Shenandoah Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Residents of Shenandoah enjoy safe, reliable public transportation provided by the Southwest Iowa Transit Agency. Services include taxi transit, medical appointment transportation and city shopping trips. All vehicles are wheelchair-friendly and ADA-accessible, and discounted taxi rates are available to those aged 60 and over
  • An overall cost of living index of 81 — considerably lower than the state’s average index of 90 and the U.S. average of 100 — makes Shenandoah one of the more affordable locations within Iowa, But with the town's much higher healthcare cost index of 126, seniors may have to allocate an increased amount of their monthly budget for medical expenses.
  • The city of Shenandoah offers a variety of arts and cultural attractions that cater to seniors' leisurely enjoyment. They can stroll along Sheridan Avenue, which features the Iowa Walk of Fame, a downtown attraction that honors famous Iowans. The Southwest Iowa Theatre Group performs at the Park Playhouse and offers discounted rates to patrons 60 and over.
