Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Richfield

 

  • M Health Fairview Southdale Hospital sits less than 3 miles outside of Richfield in Edina, giving assisted living residents access to 24-hour emergency care, as well as primary care and over 40 specialty services. Its Geriatrics Services team provides treatment for a range of age-related conditions, including joint and back pain, digestive problems, ear and hearing conditions and infections, along with preventative and diagnostic care. To provide access to services, many assisted living facilities in Richfield provide regularly scheduled transportation services for medical appointments.

 

  • Assisted living residents in Richfield obtain a variety of services and support through AARP Minnesota, a nonprofit organization that organizes community events and advocates for older adults in Richfield and the rest of the state. Along with state-focused services, AARP Minnesota organizes online and local events specifically for Richfield residents, including volunteer opportunities, fitness classes and tax assistance.

 

  • The cost of living in Richfield tracks about 7% over the national norm and 10% higher than the Minnesota average, making it one of the more expensive places in the state and nation to obtain assisted living. Miscellaneous expenses, such as restaurant meals, clothing and entertainment, run about 44% higher here than in a typical U.S. city, and housing costs exceed the national norm by about 9%. Fortunately, many assisted living facilities feature all-inclusive pricing to help seniors effectively plan for monthly expenses.

 

  • On a 100-point total crime index, Richfield scores 10 points, putting in the bottom 10% of U.S. communities for safety. The city reports about 31 crimes per 1,000 people in a given year, with property-related offenses accounting for the majority of cases. While this runs high compared to state and national norms, seniors and families with safety concerns may consider narrowing their search to neighborhoods such as Augsburg Park, Richfield South and Jefferson Park, where crime occurs infrequently.

 

  • Unlike most states, Minnesota taxes all forms of retirement income, including Social Security benefits. However, seniors can claim certain deductions and exemptions, depending on their annual income and the types of income they receive, helping many seniors afford assisted living costs in Richfield.
