What to Consider About Assisted Living in Watford City

Watford City is the county seat of McKenzie County and home to about 1,700 people, over 300 of whom are seniors. The city has a rich history that stretches back to the early 1900s for those seniors who enjoy learning about the area's past. The local senior center may take day trips to free venues like the Pioneer Museum of McKenzie County or the McKenzie County Heritage Park, giving members the opportunity to see how the city's earliest dwellers lived. 

Watford City seniors who are no longer able to safely live in their own home due to physical challenges may transition to one of the city's two assisted living facilities. In the Watford City region, assisted living facilities feature at least five separate living units, and they are monitored by the Department of Health.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Watford City

  • The overall cost of living in Watford City is on par with state and national averages. While housing expenses are slightly higher than average, which may result in higher assisted living expenses, the city's average healthcare expenses are about 13% below the national average. This may leave more money available for senior care services.  

  • Property and violent crime are both slightly more prevalent in Watford City than in the nation as a whole, so seniors may want to keep their vehicles locked and stay aware of their surroundings when they're out alone in the community. 

  • Summers in Watford City are pleasant and mild with high temperatures ranging between 73 and 85 degrees. Winters tend to be very cold with lows between 3 and 19 degrees, and the city gets about 42 inches of snow. Seniors may want to find an assisted living facility that organizes plenty of indoor activities during the winter months. 

  • The air quality in Watford City is exceptional, rating 89 out of 100 points on a health index. Seniors with conditions like COPD can enjoy the outdoors here without concern for harmful air pollutants. 

  • The Watford City area is home to world-class medical facilities, including McKenzie County Healthcare System, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
