Soldotna is a small city on the Kenai Peninsula that’s surrounded by natural beauty. Fishing is a popular pastime in the area, and trails and boardwalks around the city's many parks offer accessible ways to enjoy the fresh air. Soldotna’s location at the junction of two highways makes it easy to travel to Alaska’s larger cities, despite the distance. As the seat of Kenai Peninsula Borough, Soldotna has many amenities for its 58,000 people, including services for the 18% of residents who are aged 65 and over.
There are 13 assisted living facilities for seniors to choose from in Soldotna and the surrounding area. Care in these communities costs an average of $6,045 per month, according to Genworth Financial’s 2020 Cost of Care Survey. This is lower than the state average of $6,633, which may make Soldotna an attractive option for Alaskan seniors who are concerned about their budget.
The SeniorScore uses data points from over 100 government and private sources to calculate how comfortable a community is for older adults across four categories. The SeniorScore in Soldotna is 64. Although this is lower than the national average of 72, Soldotna’s score is 11 points higher than the Alaska average of 53. The city’s highest scores are in the Finances and General Quality of Life categories, with scores of 64 and 60, respectively.
Soldotna's high score in the Finances category is influenced by Alaska’s tax policies. There are no state income taxes, meaning seniors can devote more of their income to their assisted living budget. In addition, there’s no state sales tax and no estate or inheritance tax, which is an important consideration for many retirees.
When it comes to General Quality of Life, seniors in Soldotna benefit from the city’s environment. There’s very good air quality, which helps seniors who have respiratory issues, and the small size of the city makes commuting and getting around quick and easy. Although winters are harsh, summers are very pleasant and there isn’t too much rainfall.
Soldotna scores less well in the Health & Safety and Recreation & Leisure categories. Despite a lower Health & Safety score of 53, seniors still have access to a high number of Medicare-registered physicians and there’s a hospital in the city for when emergencies arise. The Recreation & Leisure score of 52 is impacted by the relatively low number of seniors who live in Soldotna. There are also limited shopping and entertainment options, but seniors can still enjoy the city’s golf courses and parks, as well as the community found in Soldotna’s churches.
The SeniorScore™ is calculated based on over 100 variables, some of which are shown below. The final score is curved based on a linear curving method. For More info visit senioradvice.com/seniorscore.
