What to Consider About Assisted Living in Saint Louis Park

In St. Louis Park, assisted living facilities are officially licensed at Class A or Class F home care agencies, and they submit to guidelines set by the Minnesota Department of Health. This department promotes high-quality care through stringent licensing procedures, which it enforces through regular inspections and by investigating complaints made by or on behalf of residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Saint Louis Park

  • In Hennepin County, where St. Louis Park is located, pollution levels are moderate and may impact the health and comfort of some seniors. The American Lung Association gives the region a passing score for annual particle pollution but a D for 24-hour particle pollution, suggesting a high number of high-particle days. Smog is relatively rare, earning the region an A for ozone pollution levels.
  • St. Louis Park seniors pay state income taxes on all forms of retirement income, including Social Security benefits. However, deductions are available for those with low annual incomes, reducing out-of-pocket costs and leaving more money in the bank for long-term care expenses.

Miscellaneous expenses, such as restaurant meals and entertainment, as well as housing, transportation and grocery costs, are higher than state norms, but opting for assisted living may give older adults more control over monthly spending.

On a 100-point crime index, the city rates 39.0 for property crime compared to 35.4 nationally. Violent crime is relatively uncommon, however, earning the city a rating of 12.4 versus the national norm of 22.7.
  • Daytime temperatures in St. Louis Park range from 24 degrees in the winter to 83 in the summer, making the city an attractive option for older adults who enjoy experiencing distinct seasons.
