What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sleepy Eye

The small city of Sleepy Eye is home to almost 3,600 people, and more than 19% of its residents are aged 65 and older. Seniors retiring to the city can get to know their neighbors at community events such as the ice fishing contest each February and Buttered Corn Days in August. Seniors can also find accommodation at one of Sleepy Eye's two assisted living facilities, which offer seniors, who are mostly independent, assistance with activities of daily living. Minnesota's Home Care and Assisted Living Program administrates the licensing and monitoring of assisted living facilities in Sleepy Eye.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Sleepy Eye

  • The Sleepy Eye area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in New Ulm.
  • Winters in Sleepy Eye can be very cold, with low temperatures in January averaging 5 degrees and 43 inches of snow falling over the colder months. In July, the average high is around 83 degrees and the city has 202 sunny days each month, three less than the national average, which gives seniors many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors during the summer months.
  • The Sperling index rates Sleepy Eye's overall cost of living at 84.7, more than 15 points lower than the national average of 100. Although the cost of groceries is higher than the U.S. average, which may impact seniors' budgets, this is mitigated by the low costs of healthcare and transport.
  • Seniors in Sleepy Eye must pay state income tax on income from all retirement sources, including pensions, Social Security and retirement savings accounts. The state's sales taxes are also high, ranked sixth in the United States, although medications and most groceries and clothing are exempt.
  • Heartland Express is a bus service that operates throughout Brown County, including Sleepy Eye. It is a shared-ride, on-demand service, and rides must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.
  • Sleepy Eye is a low crime area. The Sperling crime index rates the city's violent crime as 10.1, more than 5 points lower than the state average. Similarly, property crime is rated 7.3, almost 26 points lower than the Minnesota ranking. This may be reassuring to seniors who are concerned about their safety.
