What to Consider About Assisted Living in Rigby

Rigby, a friendly farming town in Eastern Idaho, is the seat of Jefferson County. This city is known as "The Birthplace of Television," and is the boyhood home of TV inventor Philo T. Farnsworth, with signs at the city limits highlighting that fact. Of the city's 3,945 residents, 10.3% are seniors aged 65 and over. Those seniors residing in Rigby who need help with eating, grooming and housekeeping have two assisted living communities in the small city to choose from.

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare has governance over assisted living communities, also called residential care facilities (RCFs), in Rigby and every other part of the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Rigby

  • Social Security benefits are not taxed in Idaho, which is good news for seniors in Rigby. Those with qualifying public pensions receive a generous retirement-benefits deduction, and there is no estate or inheritance tax in the state.
  • The overall cost of living is slightly more expensive than the national average, but that’s attributable to the higher housing costs. Seniors pay less for groceries, healthcare, utilities and transportation here, which is helpful for those on limited incomes.
  • The Rigby area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Madison Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Rigby’s annual average snowfall of 40 inches could be challenging for seniors who like to enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle year-round. Winter lows can reach 13 degrees or below in January, and summer’s high is a relatively moderate 85 degrees. Rigby earns a Sperling’s Comfort Index score of 65 out of 100, which is higher than the U.S. average of 54.
  • Senior residents and their loved ones can enjoy peace of mind in knowing that both property and violent crime are lower in Rigby when compared to the national averages. Rigby rates an 11.4 out of 100, with 100 being high violent crime. The U.S. average is 22.7. Property crime in Rigby scores 26.2, also lower than the U.S. average of 35.4.
  • The Rigby area has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Rigby Senior Community Center and the Area Agency on Aging of Eastern Idaho. Benefits include transportation, nutrition, in-home services, and health and wellness programs.
