What to Consider About Assisted Living in Albany

Albany, which is located about 60 miles to the northwest of Minneapolis, was incorporated in 1890. It was once bounded by the Great Northern and Soo Line Railroads, but the railroad tracks have since been removed and the right of way is now used for pedestrian travel. One of these trails is the Lake Wobegon Regional Trail, a 65-mile paved trail that runs through Albany to Sauk Centre. These trails may be enjoyed by Albany's 2,500 residents, including a senior community that makes up about 18% of the population. 

In Albany, assisted living is not recognized by the state as a distinct category. Instead, facilities register annually with the Minnesota Department of Health as housing with services establishments and are licensed as either Basic or Comprehensive home care providers. Seniors who are seeking assisted living in Albany find two facilities in the city proper and four more nearby.    

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Albany

  • Albany is a relatively affordable place to live, which may make it an economical option for seniors with tight assisted living budgets. Overall, the cost of living here is about 6% below the national average and 12% below the statewide average.  
  • On a 100-point crime index, both the violent crime rate and property crime rate are roughly half the national average at 11.1 and 18.8, respectively. This may provide peace of mind for seniors who enjoy participating in community activities.  
  • The American Lung Association reports very low levels of ozone and particle pollution in the Albany region. Seniors who have respiratory illnesses like COPD can breathe easy here. 
  • Albany's summers are comfortable with highs around 82 degrees. Winters are harsh, however, with lows near 0 degrees and an average annual snowfall of 46 inches. Seniors may want to find out what types of activities are offered during the winter months at their assisted living facility.  
  • In Albany, retirees pay state income tax on all of their retirement income, including their Social Security benefits. Seniors with limited resources who are considering a move to Minnesota from outside of the state may want to consider how the state’s tax laws may affect their assisted living budget.
  • The Albany area is home to world-class medical facilities, including CentraCare Albany Clinic, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
