What to Consider About Assisted Living in Grafton

The Division of Quality Assurance regulates assisted living communities in Grafton and throughout Wisconsin. Seniors and their loved ones can turn to the agency to learn more about health and safety rules and to report subpar care. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Grafton

 

  • Grafton's overall crime rates are lower than 59% of cities, meaning the city is safer than more than half of the nation. Additionally, the Grafton Police Department reports that local property crimes have declined in recent years.

 

  • The cost of living in Grafton is 0.1% higher than the U.S. norm. However, this is mostly due to housing costs, which are around 4.4% higher than average. Certain expense categories are much cheaper; local food prices are around 40% lower than the U.S. norm, while transportation costs are 28% lower.

 

  • Grafton doesn't have city income taxes, but Wisconsin does tax most forms of retirement income at rates ranging from 3.54% to 7.65%. However, the state exempts all forms of Social Security. Additionally, the state has comparatively low sales taxes at an average of 5.43%, and groceries and prescription drugs are exempt.

 

  • Grafton has a livability score of 61, according to the AARP's Livability Index. The city scores especially well for its health care system; 79.6% of patients report being satisfied with their health care, which is 10.6 points higher than the U.S. average.

 

  • Grafton is home to Aurora Medical Center Grafton, a hospital offering numerous specialties such as lab services, urology, cancer care and emergency services, among many others. 

 

  • As part of Ozaukee County, Grafton has an F rating for ozone, according to the American Lung Association, indicating poor local air quality. Fortunately, assisted living communities often use air filters and other cleaning systems to protect residents from environmental pollution.

On the other hand, winter brings low temperatures of around 17 degrees Fahrenheit and frequent snowfall; the city gets about 44.4 inches of snow annually, outpacing the U.S. norm by 16.6 inches.
