What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cambridge

Cambridge is a small village in Wisconsin that straddles Dane and Jefferson counties. It’s home to almost 1,500 people, as well as lakes, museums and pottery studios.  Also known as "Umbrella City," around 14 percent of Cambridge's population is aged over 65. The village encourages active aging and provides many ways for seniors to connect with the community.

People who wish to retire to the village can find accommodation in one of the village's three assisted living facilities. There are another 24 in nearby communities, including Jefferson, Madison and Johnson Creek. There are four types of licenses for assisted living facilities in Wisconsin and all are regulated by the state's Bureau of Assisted Living.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Cambridge

  • The air quality in Dane County, including Cambridge, is good. The State of the Air Report 2018 gave the county B grades in ozone and particle pollution. This may be beneficial to the health of seniors who have respiratory conditions.
  • Summers in Cambridge are warm, with a July high of around 83 degrees. However, winters are cold. The January low averages just 11 degrees and the village gets 38 inches of snow each year, 12 more than the national average. There are only 186 sunny days each year, 19 fewer than the U.S. average, which can be challenging for seniors who enjoy spending time in the sunshine.
  • Income from government pensions and Social Security are tax-exempt in Wisconsin, but money from retirement accounts and private pensions are subject to income tax. Seniors may save money on prescription drugs and groceries, which are exempt from sales tax.
  • The cost of living in Cambridge is 101 on the Sperling index, just one point above the national average. Seniors can save money on daily expenses; groceries costs are over 11 points lower than average and healthcare costs are six points lower than the U.S. average.
  • Dane County, including Cambridge, has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Area Agency on Aging of Dane County, an organization that provides information and assistance to individuals aged over 60 as well as more than one senior center.
  • The Cambridge area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Fort Atkinson.
