What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lakeville

The Assisted Living Licensure (ALL) within Minnesota Department of Health's Health Regulation Division oversees the state’s assisted living facilities. The team is responsible for monitoring, inspecting and licensing residential care homes. It ensures that communities comply with pertinent laws and regulations to maintain and improve care standards for residents.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lakeville

 

  • Crime rates in Lakeville are lower than national averages. The local property crime rate is 21.2, whereas the corresponding national figure is 35.4. The violent crime rate is even lower, at 8.6 compared with the U.S. average of 22.7. These relatively low statistics may provide peace of mind for seniors and their loved ones.
  • Minnesota is a member of the AARP Age-Friendly Network, indicating that the state has committed to making its communities more livable for all. Nearby member communities include Minneapolis and West St. Paul, and the neighboring city of Burnsville received a grant to improve pedestrian safety. Initiatives across the state include those related to transportation, housing, accessibility and rejuvenation of public spaces.
  • The Lakeville LOOP bus enables seniors to conveniently access local amenities and recreational facilities for subsidized rates. The bus operates each Thursday and connects several senior residences, stores, clinics and local businesses. Seniors who live near the scheduled route can request home pick-ups, and vehicles are wheelchair- and scooter-accessible.
  • The overall cost of living in Lakeville is slightly higher than national and state averages. For comparison, on a 100-point scale, the United States rates 100, Minnesota rates 97.2 and Lakeville rates 113.1. Housing costs are particularly high, which may increase the appeal of assisted living. The Minnesota Department of Human Services administers the Elderly Waiver, which can make care costs more affordable for eligible seniors.
  • Lakeville has fewer physicians per capita than many places in the United States. While the U.S. average is 210 doctors per 100,000 people, Lakeville has 132. However, the city is home to M Health Fairview, which partners with the University of Minnesota to provide comprehensive medical services in more than 100 specialties.
