What to Consider About Assisted Living in Two Harbors

Two Harbors is a tiny community of about 3,500 on the shores of Lake Superior. Much of its architecture is from before World War II, which may tantalize history buffs. Of course, the appeal of the area’s lakes, rivers and trails may be greater, what with the variety of picnicking, hiking and kayaking opportunities.

Seniors interested in Two Harbors will find at least three assisted living facilities, and in Duluth, which is about a 35-minute drive down Route 61, there are 30 more. The Health Regulation Division in Minnesota decides whether a facility can call itself assisted living, and a facility must meet requirements for a home care agency and housing with services establishment.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Two Harbors

  • Living in Two Harbors means lots of snow — to the tune of 57 inches per year on average. It also means fewer sunny days than the U.S. average, 182 compared with 205. Winters feature January lows of 3 degrees Fahrenheit, which might worry some seniors. On the other hand, the summers can be great, with July highs of about 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Seniors' dollars might stretch a bit further in Two Harbors than they do in other places. This is particularly true when it comes to housing, as in Two Harbors it costs significantly less than the national average. However, the cost of health care in Two Harbors is higher than average.

  • Two Harbors does not exactly overflow with arts and culture opportunities. However, there are a few art galleries in neighboring communities, such as Knife River, and Duluth provides a nice range of choices. The outdoors is where Two Harbors shines, and it offers the Lakeview National Golf Course, Gooseberry Falls State Park, Split Rock Lighthouse State Park and Tettegouche State Park. The parks serve up lighthouses, waterfalls, breathtaking views, beaches, wildlife, hiking and skiing.

  • Two Harbors is safer than 84 percent of U.S. cities. The chances of becoming a victim of a violent crime are 1 in 412 in Minnesota and just 1 in 3,562 in Two Harbors.

  • Two Harbors is not overly walkable, as evidenced by its walk score of 45 out of 100. It does offer Dial-A-Ride transit, which includes service to Duluth and Knife River via Arrowhead Transit.

  • Minnesota has an income tax, so your retirement plans, income and pension payments may be subject to taxation.
