What to Consider About Assisted Living in Shakopee

Shakopee, Minnesota is located southwest of the heavily populated Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a smaller town with an interesting history — its Historic District features burial mounds leftover from prehistoric Native American cultures. Seniors who love history (and ghost stories) will be happy to know that there are 62 assisted living facilities in the Shakopee area, with two of these facilities located in Shakopee itself and the other 60 in the surrounding areas. In Shakopee, and the rest of Minnesota, assisted living facilities (ALFs) are regulated by the Minnesota Department of Health and are held to a strict set of rules and standards.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Shakopee

  • The cost of living in Shakopee is 10 percent higher than the national average and 7 percent higher than the state average. Seniors may find that the items they buy at the grocery store or other services they take part in are more expensive than they are in other cities.

  • The crime rate in Shakopee is 25 percent lower than the national average. It is reportedly safer than 56 percent of cities in the United States, which can make seniors feel more secure in their residences.

  • The Shakopee area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the St. Francis Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • The weather in Shakopee, Minnesota is reportedly poor. Many months see highs in the 20-degree-Fahrenheit range with high amounts of precipitation. This precipitation, whether it be rain or snow, can make traveling and walking difficult for seniors.

  • The air quality in Shakopee is 11 percent better than the national median, but the pollution index is 51 percent worse. This means that seniors with respiratory conditions may find breathing difficult at times due to pollutants in the air.
