    What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cloquet

    Cloquet, originally a group of settlements with a small manufacturing economy, is now a modest-sized town partially located on the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation. About 1,800 seniors call this city home, and  have access to six assisted living communities in the city limits, with an additional four facilities located nearby.

    In Cloquet and in all of the state, these communities are officially recognized as housing with services establishments by Minnesota's Department of Health. They are licensed as either Class A or Class F facilities. 

    Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Cloquet

    • Seniors in Cloquet should be cautious about going outdoors in winter as average low temperatures in January drop to  one degree. Summer, however, provides plenty of opportunities for active seniors to enjoy outdoor recreation with comfortable temperatures in the 70s.
    • The American Lung Association gives Carlton County, where Cloquet is located, a B for ozone pollution. This means the area has very few days where ozone levels are dangerous enough to cause health problems for seniors.
    • Cloquet has very low rates of violent crime but relatively high rates of property crime. The violent crime rating in the city is 5.6 points below the national average of 22.7, and the property crime rating is 25.8 points above the national average of 35.4. Seniors concerned about the security of their belongings may wish to be aware of these statistics.
    • The Cloquet area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Community Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
    • Cloquet is an affordable place for families to find assisted living. The overall cost of living in the city is 11.9% below the national average of 100. It's also lower than the state average and the average for the Duluth metro area.
    • Cloquet is not considered a tax-friendly place for seniors, due to Minnesota's tax laws. All types of retirement income, including Social Security, are subject to state income taxes. These tax rates range from 5.35% to 9.85%.
