What to Consider About Assisted Living in Duluth

Duluth, a Lake Superior port city in Minnesota, has a population of about 86,000. Its location and abundance of natural gifts mean that residents have access to activities such as charter fishing, sailing, skiing and hiking. Residents age 55 and older also have access to 30 assisted living facilities with 16 nearby in places such as Hermantown, Minnesota, and Superior, Wisconsin. A facility must be licensed by the Health Regulation Division of the Department of Health to call itself assisted living. To get this licensure, a facility meets requirements for a housing with services establishment and a home care agency.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Duluth

  • If you like snow, you’re in luck. Duluth receives a whopping 72 inches of snow a year on average. In comparison, the U.S. average is 26 inches. Unfortunately, Duluth only gets about 178 sunny days yearly, compared with 205 days on average for the United States. However, summers in the city can be pleasant with an average July high of 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course, the temperature plunges in the winter, and the January lows of 3 degrees Fahrenheit may be too much for some seniors.

  • Duluth has a low cost of living, especially when it comes to housing. If a city scores higher than 100 in the cost of living category on Sperling’s Best Places, it is above average for the United States. Duluth scores 90, and health care and transportation costs both scored 97.

  • Your chances of being the victim of a violent crime in Duluth are 1 in 272. In Minnesota as a whole, they’re 1 in 412.

  • Minnesota isn't a very tax-friendly state for seniors. Income from retirement accounts and pensions are fully taxed, and Social Security income is partially taxed.

  • Duluth offers casinos, art galleries, ballet companies and theaters for seniors to enjoy. Recreational opportunities include camping and hiking at Jay Cooke State Park, sailing on Lake Superior and skiing on Spirit Mountain.

  • The Duluth Transit Authority provides service in the area. They don't have reduced rates for seniors, but you can ride the Port Town Trolley for free, and disabled American veterans who provide a Department of Veteran Affairs Service Connected identification can ride any bus for free.
