What to Consider About Assisted Living in Williston
Williston is a medium-sized city in the northwestern corner of North Dakota with about 27,000 residents, roughly 9% of whom are seniors. The city has an array of amenities for seniors, including the Williston Community Library, which offers adult coloring sessions along with crochet and knit clubs, as well as one senior center.   Â
Williston seniors who need an extra hand with the activities of daily living may reside in one of the city's two assisted living facilities. In Williston, as in the rest of the state, assisted living facilities have at least five living units and are governed by the Department of Health.  Â
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Williston
- In North Dakota, money withdrawn from retirement savings accounts is taxed at the state level as regular income, and public and private pension income and Social Security benefits are partially taxed. Williston seniors may want to speak to a tax professional to help determine how much money they can put toward assisted living expenses. Â
- The Williston area is home to world-class medical facilities, including CHI St. Alexius Health Williston, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- On a cost of living index based on the national average of 100, Williston is rated 102.1. This indicates that living expenses are a little higher here than in the average U.S. city, which may be a concern for seniors with very tight assisted living budgets. Â
-
Crime is more prevalent in the city of Williston than in the Williston Metro Area, the state and the nation as a whole. While a majority of the crime that takes place is property-related, violent crime is also a concern here. Seniors may want to find an assisted living facility that uses modern security technology. Â
-
Williston's climate is warm compared to the rest of the state, with year-round temperatures ranging from 2 to 85 degrees. While summers are comfortable, winters are very cold, so seniors may want to find an assisted living facility that offers plenty of indoor activities.Â
- Williston's air quality is rated over 20 points higher than the national average at 79 degrees, so seniors with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions can breathe easy here.
