What to Consider About Assisted Living in Edina

Assisted living facilities in Edina and other cities across the state are licensed by the Health Regulation Division of the Minnesota Department of Health. The department performs inspections and issues compliance notices to ensure licensees follow relevant laws upholding the health and safety of assisted living residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Edina

 

  • Violent crime rates are very low in Edina, rating at 7.7 on a 100-point scale where the national average is 22.7, potentially allowing seniors to feel safer while attending social events or enjoying exercise outdoors. Property crimes are also low at 29.4 compared to the U.S. average of 35.4.
  • Edina's cost of living is somewhat high, measuring 127.6 on a 100-point index where the national average is 100. However, much of this high cost comes from housing, and the city has relatively affordable groceries and transportation. Health care costs score a 75.8, making physician visits and hospital stays much less expensive than the U.S. average.
  • In addition to the low cost of health care, Edina has over 60% more physicians per 100,000 population than the national average, so it may be easier for the city's residents to access medical treatment. The M Health Fairview Southdale Hospital provides nationally recognized heart and stroke care.
  • Edina has a continental climate with cold winters, which may not be ideal for seniors who struggle with extreme temperature changes. However, summers are very comfortable in the region, attracting a rating of 9.6 on the comfort index, whereas the U.S. average is 7. The average UV index of 3.1 is much lower than the national figure of 4.3, which may make golf and other outdoor activities more comfortable during sunny days.
  • Minneapolis is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities. The region's AARP action plan outlines commitments to fund more affordable housing for seniors, improve public transportation and increase patient follow-up after hospital stays.
  • Public transport is highly accessible in Edina. Seniors can utilize Metro Transit to travel within Edina and other suburbs of Minneapolis. Metro Mobility — a ride-share service for seniors with disabilities — can also help individuals travel if they have trouble accessing traditional public transport.
  • Edina's income tax rate is 7.1%, which is above the national average of 4.6%, and the sales tax rate is also 0.2 points higher than average. However, Minnesota has tax exemptions for properties and social security income that may help seniors manage expenses.
