What to Consider About Assisted Living in Little Falls

Little Falls is a small residential community northwest of Minneapolis, straddling the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Nearly 22% of Little Falls' 8,700 residents are seniors aged 65 and over, and at least 15 assisted living facilities operate within the city limits to meet their residential care needs. These facilities are inspected, licensed and regulated at the state level by the Minnesota Department of Health Facility Certification, Regulation and Licensing Division.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Little Falls

 

  • The weather in Little Falls is typically balmy in summer but cool and dry in winter. July highs in Little Falls average 84 degrees, while January lows dip to an average of -1 degree Fahrenheit. Spring and summer bring roughly 26 inches of rain each year, which often causes an increase in mold and pollen that seniors with asthma may struggle with.
  • The cost of living in Little Falls is somewhat less than the typical cost of living nationwide. Seniors in Little Falls pay 12% less, on average, for most common household expenses, while local healthcare costs are 13% below the national average cost.
  • Crime rates in Little Falls are very far below the national average rates. Seniors in Little Falls are especially safe from violent crime, which is less than 20% the rate in the rest of the country. Property crimes, such as theft and vandalism, are more common, though rates for all crime combined are still only around one-third the national average.
  • Public transportation in Little Falls is provided by Tri-CAP Transportation, which operates an on-demand bus service for Little Falls and much of the surrounding area. Seniors can schedule pickup service from their homes, and dial-a-ride services operate on semi-regular scheduled routes in town. All vehicles are ADA-compliant for riders with limited mobility.
  • The Little Falls area is home to world-class medical facilities, including St. Gabriel's Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Little Falls has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Senior Law Project of St. Cloud Area Legal Services, an organization that helps Little Falls seniors with legal services, such as living wills and care advocacy, as well as three senior centers.
