I grew up in a mining town in northern Canada where the company provided everything you mention, plus summer jobs at the mine, chartered plane to pick up students, train tickets for vehicles, and much more.

The mine was originally owned by a group that started in the area so they had incentives to make the area great for the employees. Which they did, my grandfather and father got great paying jobs that allowed them to support their families.

But then a massive mining company came in and bought majority shares in the mine and they have been scraping these benefits ever since.

My point is, you never know what's going to happen. So don't get to attached to these benefits. For most places that's alright because there are other opportunities, but in a mining town there generally is one employer.
