What to Consider About Assisted Living in Anoka
Anoka, located in southeast Minnesota along the Mississippi River is the Halloween Capital of the World, which could be of interest to the area’s 2,357 senior population making up more than 13% of the cities total population. In the 1920s, merchants held the first Halloween celebration, giving away free candy as an attempt to stop children from playing pranks against merchants, a festival that’s been held every year with the exclusion of two years during World War II. Today, the annual festivities include football games, ghost runs, block parties, costume contests and parades, sure to delight both the general population and the area’s seniors.
There are four assisted living facilities in Anoka and another 31 located in nearby cities to support aging seniors who may need assistance with their personal care. Class A and Class F home care providers, as assisted living facilities are known in Anoka and throughout Minnesota, are registered annually with the Department of Health.
