What to Consider About Assisted Living in Beachwood

Ohio's Bureau of Regulatory Operations at the Department of Health is the main governing body responsible for licensing assisted living facilities throughout the state. Field representatives conduct yearly unannounced inspections to ensure all aspects of care and services meet state regulatory standards and investigate any complaints filed with the department.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Beachwood

  • Beachwood's cost of living is 4.6% higher than the national average, but this is primarily due to the city's escalating housing costs, which are significantly higher than Ohio's average home values. Assisted living can help seniors mitigate these budgetary concerns by offering steady rental rates or inclusive service packages.
  • Beachwood's proximity to metro Cleveland provides a high number of physicians per capita and relatively low health care costs, which average 17.7% below the national norm. Local seniors can access quality care at the nationally ranked University Hospital Health Network, which administers Beachwood Medical Center and Ahuja Medical Center in town.
  • The city of Beachwood offers senior services, including weekday senior programming and monthly themed events, as well as discounted membership at the Aquatics Center and an ADA-compliant community garden. Additionally, Mandel Jewish Community Center offers a full range of fitness, cultural and social senior programs, including a men's club and aquatics.
  • Compared with other suburban areas, Beachwood is considered a low-crime city. On a 100-point scale, violent crime rates 11.5 compared to 22.7 nationally, and most disturbances are nonviolent, such as burglary or vandalism. Safety concerns are further lessened in assisted living by added security features, such as controlled access entries and 24-hour staffing.
  • Beachwood is a prime midwestern destination to appreciate all four seasons. Its Great Lakes climate brings mild temperatures in the spring and fall, but can also result in hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. On average, Beachwood receives 164 sunny days yearly and an above-average 75 inches of snow each winter season.
  • Ohio is considered a somewhat tax-friendly state for seniors, largely dependent on an individual's income. Sales taxes are high, averaging 7.24% statewide, but the state does not tax Social Security retirement benefits. However, it does tax income from pensions and retirement savings, such as 401(k) or IRA accounts.
  • Cuyahoga County, including Beachwood, is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities and is working to identify senior needs and implement an action plan to improve accessibility and services throughout the county.
