What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lake City

Lake City, Minnesota, sits beside Lake Pepin, the widest spot of the Mississippi River. Ralph Samuelson invented water-skiing here in 1922. Today, the historic river town offers seniors excellent boating and numerous parks ideal for walking, swimming and fishing.

Adults aged 65 and older make up 26.8% of Lake City’s estimated population of 5,131. Those who need help with day-to-day personal care, meals and medications find two assisted living facilities in Lake City. The Minnesota Department of Health licenses and regulates assisted living communities in the Lake City and in all of the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lake City

  • Seniors in Lake City live in the least tax-friendly state for retirees, according to the Kiplinger 2018 list. Minnesota taxes Social Security benefits as well as income from 401(k) plans and individual retirement accounts. All pensions except those from the military are also taxed.
  • The Lake City area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Mayo Clinic Health System, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Lake City has an overall cost of living that's 3% lower than the U.S. average. Seniors may enjoy significant savings on transportation, healthcare, utility and grocery costs, which are all lower than the national average.
  • Security-conscious seniors can appreciate the lower-than-average crime rates in Lake City. On a 100-point scale, Lake City’s violent crime rate of 10.9 is half that of the U.S. average of 22.7. Property crime in Lake City scores 20.5, also significantly below the national average of 35.4.
  • Despite its small size, Lake City is big on fun with numerous annual festivals and street markets for seniors to look forward to. May brings the 100-Mile Garage Sale, June the Tour De Pepin Bike Tour and Water Ski Days, followed by the Fourth of July Fireworks extravaganza. Johnny Appleseed Days take place every October. If that’s not enough action, centrally located Lake City is just 68 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul and 34 miles from Rochester when seniors crave big-city adventures.
  • Seniors should prepare for snowy, cold winters in Lake City. With a January low that averages 5 degrees and 42 inches of snow per year, Lake City may give some older adults a severe case of cabin fever. July’s average high temperature of 83 degrees makes Lake City warmer than most places in Minnesota.
