What to Consider About Assisted Living in East Grand Forks

East Grand Forks, which is located just 60 miles south of the Canadian border in Polk County, Minnesota, is home to the University of North Dakota, the state’s oldest and largest university. While the city has a fairly young population, seniors comprise over 13% of its 8,600 residents. 

East Grand Forks seniors who need assistance with daily living activities may choose to reside in one of the six local assisted living facilities, including the three that are located in the city proper. The facilities register annually with the Minnesota Department of Health.   

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in East Grand Forks

  • East Grand Forks is an inexpensive place to live with an overall cost of living that is about 6% lower than the national average and 12% lower than the statewide average. Seniors with limited budgets may want to consider one of the city's assisted living options. 
  • Violent crime is relatively rare in East Grand Forks, with the violent crime rate coming in at 10.9 on a 100-point crime index, compared to the national average of 22.7. The property crime rate is a bit higher at 33, but it is still a couple of points lower than the national average of 35.4. This may be a good option for seniors who are seeking assisted living in a safe city.  
  • Compared to the rest of the state, summers in East Grand Forks are relatively cool with highs around 81 degrees on average. However, winters are very cold with lows below 0. Seniors may want to ensure that the assisted living facility they choose has individual climate control to ensure their year-round comfort. 
  • The East Grand Forks area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Grand Forks.
  • Public transit services for East Grand Forks are provided by Cities Area Transit. It operates 10 fixed routes throughout the city, Monday through Saturday. Seniors aged 62 and over are eligible to ride for a reduced fare.
  • East Grand Forks seniors pay state income tax on all of their retirement income, regardless of its source. Minnesota also has a relatively high sales tax rate, which may reduce how much money can be put toward local assisted living expenses.
