What to Consider About Assisted Living in Dover

Dover, Ohio, is one of the few places left that has an authentic drive-in movie theater of the type that used to be everywhere in the '50s. Seniors from the area's seven assisted living communities can plan friendly or romantic trips there as part of an independent and active senior living plan. The Ohio Department of Health’s Office of Health Assurance and Licensing encourages this kind of independence, and it publishes guidance for assisted living staff in the state for how to facilitate it. Many staff members further support their residents with 24-hour care and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as meal prep and personal care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Dover

  • As part of the Cleveland area, Dover enjoys mild summers and snowy winters. July temperatures here get up to 83 degrees Fahrenheit, and December lows dip to 22 degrees Fahrenheit. This can cause problems for seniors with COPD or other respiratory issues. Dover gets around 39 inches of rain in a typical year, as well as 68 inches of snow.

  • The cost of living in Dover is a bit lower than it is on average nationwide. Seniors who buy their own groceries can pay just 97 percent of the usual price in America. Aging citizens who cover the cost of their own health care can expect to pay 99 percent of what their care costs elsewhere.

  • Ohio charges a state tax on most forms of income that runs from 0.495 to 4.997 percent. Local communities in Ohio may also charge between 0 and 3 percent tax on wages and other earned income. Most retirement income and SSI are exempt, however, which helps seniors with retirement planning.

  • Crime in Dover is extremely low. None of the major categories of crime get higher than one-quarter of the national rates.

  • Tuscarawas Coordinated Public Transportation (TuscTransit) is a grant-funded public transportation provider that provides door-to-door shuttle service for adults with disabilities and seniors who need a lift around Dover. Routes are scheduled in advance, which many assisted living community trip planners are able to help with.

  • The Dover area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
