What to Consider About Assisted Living in Waseca

The city's senior population accounts for 15.7% of the town's approximately 8,900 residents. Those among the elderly who need help with activities of daily living can choose from Waseca's three assisted living facilities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Waseca

  • The Waseca area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Mayo Clinic Health System, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Waseca seniors should expect to pay full taxes on their retirement benefits, as Minnesota doesn't have any tax breaks for either private or public pensions, Social Security or retirement account withdrawals. 
  • Waseca has a number of attractions included on the National Register of Historic Places for seniors to discover, such as the 1897 Waseca County Courthouse. The area is also known for its extensive outdoor spaces, including lakes, 15 city parks and a nature reserve, that seniors can enjoy.

Property crime is higher with a rating of 30.3, but it's still below the U.S. average. Seniors should talk to their care providers about security measures their assisted living facilities have in place.
  • Waseca is not an expensive place to live for seniors on a budget. The town's overall cost of living is almost 22% lower than the Minnesota average. Out of all the spending sectors, seniors will pay the most for food with an average grocery bill that's 4.5% higher than elsewhere in the country. 
  • Seniors should be prepared for cold temperatures in Waseca; the average mid-January low is just four degrees, and the area gets 47 inches of snow per year, which is higher than the national average
