What to Consider About Assisted Living in Richfield

Richfield is located in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Although it may not be a household name, Richfield is home to the headquarters of one of the biggest technology retailers in the United States, Best Buy. Whether they're technologically inclined or not, Richfield has a lot to offer seniors, including 58 assisted living facilities. Four of these facilities are located in Richfield itself, and the others are located in towns nearby. In Richfield and the rest of Minnesota, assisted living facilities (ALF) are regulated by the Minnesota Department of Health and are held to a strict set of rules and standards.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Richfield

  • The cost of living in Richfield is three points higher than the national average. Goods and services may be slightly more expensive here than in other places, but not unusually so.

  • The Richfield area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Hennepin County Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • The weather in Richfield is a bit of a mixed bag, and summers can be very hot (with temperatures in the upper 80s or higher), while the spring and winter months can be very chilly (around 20 degrees Fahrenheit). Seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors may have to plan ahead.

  • The air quality in Richfield is eleven percent better than the national average, and the amount of pollution is 64 percent better. This makes Richfield an ideal city for seniors with respiratory conditions, as there are fewer irritants in the air.
