What to Consider About Assisted Living in De Soto

The City of Pride, De Soto is located in Jefferson County, which is about 45 miles from St. Louis. The growing city is home to more than 6,300 residents, with seniors aged 65 and older making up nearly 20% of the population. Some of these seniors residents may require assistance with daily activities and benefit from the services of an assisted living community, seven of which are available in the De Soto area. 

In the state of Missouri, including De Soto, assisted living facilities (ALFs) and residential care facilities (RCFs) are licensed by a division of Missouri's Department of Health and Senior Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in De Soto

  • De Soto has an array of community resources for seniors, such as Aging Ahead, an organization that offers programs, services and resources for seniors, including social activities, meals and health screenings at 21 locations across St. Louis, St. Charles, Franklin and Jefferson counties.
  • Summers in De Soto are hot and humid, which could be uncomfortable for some seniors with respiratory issues. The average summer high is 88.6 degrees F, which is warmer than most other cities in Missouri.
  • At 93.4, the cost of living in De Soto falls below the U.S. national average of 100. Low housing and grocery costs are the largest factor for this, meaning seniors can save on daily living costs and maximize their retirement savings.
  • De Soto has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Festus (Mercy Hospital Jefferson).
  • The De Soto area is served by Jeffco Express, Jefferson County's first public bus transportation system. The nonprofit service operates a deviated fixed-route system that was designed to provide transit options for seniors aged 60 or older and people with disabilities, though it's available to all county residents.
  • On a scale to 100, the rate of violent crime in De Soto is 15.8, which is lower than both the national (22.7) and statewide (28.9) averages. This may give seniors peace of mind as they go about their daily activities.
