What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hermantown
Although Hermantown, located in northeastern Minnesota at the western mouth of Lake Superior, is rich in historical lure from its past as a sawmill and a slaughterhouse town, the origin of its name is unknown. It was first known as the Town of Herman in 1873 and later became known as the City of Hermantown on December 31, 1975.
The city has a sizable senior population making up 13.9% of its total residents. To help accommodate that population, there are two assisted living facilities within city limits and an additional 35 facilities located in surrounding towns and cities. Minnesota requires that all Class A and Class F, as assisted living facilities in Hermantown and throughout Minnesota are known, register annually with the Department of Health.
