What to Consider About Assisted Living in Ladysmith

Ladysmith, the seat of Rusk County located in northwest Wisconsin, was a thriving logging community from 1840 until 1915 when the farming industry took over. The city is also famous for being the home of the “Petrified Man,” a famous hoax from 1926 whereby a logger claimed to have found a clothed petrified man in the center of a tree, a myth that was disproven by the Wisconsin Historical Society.

Ladysmith has a thriving senior population — up to 23% of its population of 3,414 — who might enjoy exploring other interesting historical facts in this small-town before retiring to one of two assisted living facilities, both located within city limits.

In Ladysmith, and throughout Wisconsin, assisted living facilities are governed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Ladysmith

  • The Ladysmith area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Marshfield Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Seniors with respiratory issues may find that they breathe easier in Ladysmith. The city has an air quality rating of 73 on a 100-point scale where higher numbers mean better air quality. This is 15 points higher than the national average of 58.
  • Wisconsin doesn’t tax Social Security benefits which could leave Ladysmith seniors with more money available to contribute toward their facility budgets.
  • Ladysmith has low crime rates, which might make seniors feel safer when traveling the city. The city has a violent crime rate of 10.8, and a property crime rate of 30.1, both lower than the national averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively.
  • The overall cost of living in Ladysmith is 81.6, lower than both the Wisconsin average of 97.8 and the U.S. average of 100. Seniors can also expect to pay less for groceries, housing and transportation. However, healthcare costs at 110.1 are higher than both the state and national averages. City seniors may want to allocate more money toward their healthcare expenses when preparing their monthly budgets.
  • Year-round temperatures in Ladysmith range between 1 and 80 degrees. The city gets 22 inches of rain and 52 inches of snow annually, something seniors who appreciate the beauty of the winter season might enjoy.
