What to Consider About Assisted Living in Shorewood
Shorewood, located in southeast Minnesota near the Wisconsin border, became a village in 1956 and achieved city status in 1974. Originally created by glacial melting during the Ice Age, this small city has plenty of attractions to keep residents, along with the area’s 912 seniors busy, including visiting dinner theatres and museums.
Seniors who are thinking about assisted living have two facilities in the city to choose from, with another 61 available in nearby areas. The Department of Health regulates these facilities which are known as Class A and Class F home care providers in Shorewood and throughout the entire state of Minnesota.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Shorewood
Seniors with restrictive budgets may have a hard time living in Shorewood due to Minnesota’s tax laws. The state partially taxes Social Security benefits and fully taxes both retirement savings account income and pensions.

The city has a violent crime rate of 6.3, over three times lower than the national average of 22.7, and a property crime rate of 18.6, almost half the U.S. average of 35.4.
The Shorewood area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Plymouth.
The cost of living in Shorewood is 154.8, considerably higher than both the Minnesota average of 106.3 and the U.S. average of 100. Seniors can expect to pay less in this city for groceries and healthcare than in other areas of Minnesota or the country. Transportation and housing costs are higher than the state and national averages at 124.9 and 266.3, which could deter seniors who no longer drive, or their family members hoping to relocate to the area.
Seniors with respiratory or cardiovascular issues may find that their conditions do not worsen with the Shorewood air. The city has an air quality rating of 63 out of 100 (best), which is five points higher than the national average of 58.
Winters in Shorewood are harsh with lows dropping down to four degrees and 51 inches of annual snowfall, almost double that national average of 28 inches, which might deter seniors who rely on mobility aids to get around.
