What to Consider About Assisted Living in Black River Falls

Black River Falls, located in Wisconsin, is the county seat for Jackson County and the location of the administrative center of the Ho-Chunk Nation. This small community has just over 3,600 residents, nearly 20% of whom are aged 65 and over.

In spite of its small size, Black River Falls is home to three assisted living facilities. In Black River Falls and throughout Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services regulates three different types of assisted living facilities, including community-based residential facilities, residential care apartment complexes and adult family homes. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Black River Falls

  • In Wisconsin, retirees do not pay state income tax on income from Social Security or government pensions, but all other types of retirement income are taxed. This may affect their assisted living budget for care received in Black River Falls.
  • The Black River Falls area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Black River Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • The overall cost of living in Black River Falls is about 18% below the national average and 16% below the statewide average, which may make the city a good option for retirees living on a fixed income. Housing is particularly affordable in this city at about 35% below the national average, which may result in relatively affordable room and board in a local assisted living facility.  
  • While the overall crime rate in Black River Falls is higher than the U.S. average, most of the crime is property-related. On a 100-point scale on which a higher score indicates more crime, the violent crime rate is 11 points lower than the national average at 11.7. The city's property crime rate is 49.6, notably higher than the national average of 35.4. Seniors seeking out local assisted living options may want to find a facility that has security features like alarm systems.
  • While summers in Black River Falls are relatively mild with highs in the low-80s, winters can be harsh. Average January lows are around 4 degrees, and the region receives about 40 inches of annual snowfall, which may be a concern for seniors who rely on mobility aids.    
  • Black River Falls has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Aging and Disabilities Services Unit, an organization that connects local seniors with resources that can help them fund assisted living services.
