These seniors have three assisted living facilities to choose from, should they need help with activities of daily living. 

    The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services regulates Republic's Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs), as it does all ALFs throughout the state.

    • Republic is sunny and temperate for most of the year, with mild mid-winter temperatures and hot summers. The town doesn't get much snow with only 14 inches per year, but it does receive a fair amount of rain with 48 inches annually, 7 inches more than the U.S. average. Seniors should plan the best way to stay comfortable year-round by talking to their care providers. 
    • Rates of crime in Republic are relatively low. Violent crime has a score that is 10% lower than the national average. Property crime is higher with a rating of 34.1, however that rate is still lower than the U.S. average of 35.4.
