What to Consider About Assisted Living in Two Rivers
Two Rivers, Wisconsin, known as the birthplace of the ice cream sundae, is a small community along Lake Michigan. The population here is just over 11,000 and adults over 65 make up 20 percent of it. This large population of seniors is served by three assisted living facilities in town and nine in the surrounding areas. These communities are licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, who defines them as community-based residential facilities (CBRFs) that provide room and board to five or more residents who require care below an intermediate nursing level.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Two Rivers
- Two Rivers has a more moderate climate than some inland cities due to its proximity to Lake Michigan. Winters can be quite cold with temperatures dropping to lows of 13 degrees Fahrenheit in January. Snowfall is above the U.S. average of 26 inches at 42 inches annually. This might affect seniors who enjoy the outdoors. Summers are warm and pleasant with highs of 77 degrees in July.
- Two Rivers is a good place to live for seniors on a budget as the cost of living here is 24.6 percent lower than the U.S. average. Transportation, grocery and housing costs are all below national medians with health care 26 points above average.
- Manitowoc County received an F grade for ozone from the American Lung Association. This may be an important consideration for seniors with respiratory ailments.
- Wisconsin is considered a retirement tax-friendly state as it doesn't tax Social Security benefits or pensions. This can leave seniors living in Two Rivers with more money in their budget to put towards assisted living.
- Seniors can feel safe living in Two Rivers as crime here is low. The town is safer than 38 percent of other U.S. cities. For violent and property crime, it scored 13.1 and 22.9 out of 100, respectively, compared to the national averages of 31.1 and 38.1, respectively.
- Seniors who don't drive may find it difficult to get around town as there are no public buses. However, the Two Rivers Senior Center has its Two Rivers Unique Senior Transportation (T.R.U.S.T.) program, which offers seniors rides to medical appointments and errands. The Aging & Disability Resource Center of the Lakeshore also offers transportation for adults over 65.
