There are many people who mistake Minnesota with other parts of the northern-west part of America for being extremely remote and secluded. While parts of the massive state in terms of land mass are certainly rugged, there are also other sections that are highly developed.

The twin cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, for example, are considered by some retirees to be about the ideal size for seniors. They are not massive compared to cities like Chicago and Los Angeles, though they have everything you could possibly ask for.

Minnesotans are also known for being some of the friendliest and hospitable people in the country. The state traditionally ranks high for its friendliness so you are certain to make plenty of new friends if you plan on relocating to Minnesota for retirement.

Furthermore, this mentality is reflective of the staffs that work at assisted living centers as well. Whether you are getting basic help with personal care, or general assistance around the house with cleaning and laundry, Minnesota residential care institutions can help.
