What to Consider About Assisted Living in Saint Francis
St. Francis, located in south-eastern Wisconsin along Lake Michigan, is a suburb of Milwaukee and was incorporated in 1951 after more than 1,000 citizens voted to incorporate to establish an independent community. Today, the area is home to a senior community that makes up over 17% of its total population of 9,365 people. There are two assisted living facilities in St. Francis to help accommodate those seniors, along with another 44 facilities located in nearby areas such as Milwaukee, Franklin and West Allis.
The Wisconsin Department of Health licenses assisted living facilities in St. Francis and throughout the state.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Saint Francis
- Wisconsin does not tax seniors on Social Security benefits or public pensions, which could leave more money in the assisted living budget for St. Francis seniors.
- The cost of living in St. Francis is 95, lower than the national average of 100. Although seniors can expect to pay less for groceries in the area, healthcare and transportation are both higher than the average at 105.4 and 112, respectively, which might be of concern to seniors with chronic health conditions or who require regular medical appointments.
- St. Francis is a safe community for seniors looking to retire. The city has a violent crime rate of 8.3 and a property crime rate of 29.8, both lower than the respective U.S. averages of 22.7 and 35.4.

Choice Care also provides non-emergency medical transportation to area seniors. This service provides door-to-door service and provides a courtesy phone call prior to pick-up.
- Seniors in St. Francis enjoy warm summers with temperatures of 82 degrees, which might make the area appealing to seniors who dislike extremely hot temperatures. Winters, however, are colder with lows of 14 degrees and 45 inches of annual snowfall, almost 20 more than the national average of 28 inches, which might make navigating the city difficult for seniors who rely on mobility aids.
