Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Milwaukie

  • Seniors seeking health care in Milwaukie will find no shortage of hospitals and medical facilities, including Providence Milwaukie Hospital and Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Medical Center. Physicians and specialists handle a wide range of health needs, and there are 221 available for every 100,000 residents in Milwaukie, compared to the U.S. average of 210. Health care is also more accessible price-wise, as costs lie 15.8% below national average rates.
  • Free shared rides are available for Milwaukie seniors 65 and over, including trips to medical appointments, grocery shopping and errands through the Transportation Reaching People and Ride Connection programs. 
  • On a scale of 100, the cost of living in Milwaukie has a 122.7 overall score, making it a costly option for those on a set income. Health care and utilities, however, help offset these costs, as they're both significantly more affordable than the U.S. average. 
  • Oregon has no general sales tax compared to the U.S. average of 6.2%, which can save seniors significant income and help them pay for the assisted living facility of their choice.
  • For seniors who enjoy the outdoors, Milwaukie may be an ideal retirement destination. The city's mild Pacific Northwest climate has four distinct seasons with warm summers, cool winters and just 2 inches of annual snow on average. In summer, Milwaukie scores an impressive 9.4 out of 10 on the comfort scale, making it an excellent option for outdoor lovers year-round. 
  • Poor air quality may be a deterrent for some potential residents, as Milwaukie scores a 20 on a 100-number index, significantly lower than the 58 nationwide average. However,  assisted living facilities often have air filtration systems, and water quality is equivalent to the national average with a 55 score. 
  • Violent crime is extremely rare in Milwaukie, scoring 12.7 out of 100 compared to the U.S. average of 22.7. The rate of property crime is on par with the national average, scoring 35.3. This may provide both seniors and their loved ones peace of mind, and it makes the city significantly more appealing for those seeking safety.
