What to Consider About Assisted Living in Berlin
Originally known as Strong's Landing in the mid 19th century, the town of Berlin, Wisconsin, is home to more than 5,400 residents, 19.5% of whom are aged 65 or over. Some of these seniors require help with daily activities, and there are two assisted living facilities in town to accommodate them and six other facilities located nearby.
These facilities are divided into three categories: adult family homes, residential care apartment complexes (RCACs) and community-based residential facilities (CBRFs). Licenses are provided by the Department of Health Services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Berlin

- Seniors in Berlin who only receive income from Social Security will not be required to pay any state income taxes. Wisconsin does, however, tax income from pensions and retirement accounts like IRAs. The rate depends on the person's level of income.
- Berlin is considered a very affordable place to live. The cost of living is 16.1% lower than the national average of 100 and 13.9% lower than the state average of 93.8. Seniors here may find that assisted living is more affordable than other locations in the country and state.
- Berlin has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Oshkosh.
- The city of Berlin hosts a wide range of arts and culture events throughout the years that are ideal for seniors. The Berlin Area Historical Society has walking tours of the city's historical development, and seniors can attend the annual Berlin Boat Club Brat and Corn Roast to enjoy live music and plenty of food.
- Berlin is a quiet town with low rates of crime. The violent crime rate is 14.7 points lower than the national average of 22.7 and 11.4 points lower than the Wisconsin average. Seniors in the community may feel safe in the community knowing this information.
