The state of Wyoming does not have a large population of seniors aged 65 and older, and approximately 13% of residents make up this demographic. However, the state of Wyoming has a large land area and is a good retirement destination for older adults who are still living an active life. The state is one of the least densely populated states in the nation. If retired seniors enjoy the outdoors, active living, recreational activities, this is the state for them. Independent living or retirement communities provide something for everyone. Most independent living is for seniors who do not require assistance with the activities of daily life. Additionally, it is common for independent living facilities to be close to medical centers in the event of an emergency. Some independent living is set up within apartment buildings, condos, or townhomes. The cost of independent living in Wyoming is approximately $2,000 per month. However, the price does change and goes up or down depending on the type of housing and if there are amenities.

Other senior housing options within the state include assisted living facilities. The Wyoming Department of Health, Office of Healthcare Licensing, and Surveys regulates assisted living. Within the state, this type of housing is referred to as assisted living facilities, and there are two levels of assisted living facilities within the state. The cost of assisted living does vary and it costs approximately $3,400 per month, but this will go up or down. The price depends on the level of care that is needed and the type of assisted living facility. Most seniors residing within these facilities require assistance with one or more activities of daily living. However, most seniors are living an independent life. When families start the search process for assisted living, they will want to ensure the facility is licensed, has no violations, nor a large number of complaints. The state of Wyoming provides an accurate and updated list of data for families to go through.
