What to Consider About Assisted Living in Marion

Marion, population approximately 36,000, is located in north-central Ohio about 50 miles north of Columbus and is the seat of Marion County. Once the residence of President Warren G. Harding, the city is also home to several historic properties, including Harding Tomb, the burial location of the 29th President of the United States and First Lady Florence Kling Harding. Senior history buffs can tour the museum at Harding Home, a Queen-Anne-style house Harding and his future wife designed in 1890, a year before their marriage, and in which they lived in for 30 years.

Approximately 14% of Marion’s residents are aged 65 and older. To make it easier for its elderly population to age in place comfortably, Marion offers five assisted living communities. These facilities are called residential care facilities (RCFs) in Ohio, and the Ohio Department of Health licenses and inspects them.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Marion

  • Seniors living in Marion do not pay state income tax on Social Security retirement benefits. Ohio also provides four tax credits for retirees and does not impose estate or inheritance taxes.
  • The Marion area is home to world-class medical facilities, including OhioHealth Marion General Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Marion has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Marion Senior Center, which offers a variety of dance and exercise classes, crafts projects, hot lunches and travel opportunities.
  • The city of Marion provides seniors with plentiful cultural opportunities such as performing arts and concerts at The Ohio State University’s Marion campus and the historic Marion Palace Theater.
  • Retirees on limited incomes enjoy an overall cost of living in Marion that’s about 30% lower than the U.S. average. Seniors pay less for groceries, health care and transportation in Marion, helping them stretch their dollars further.
  • Although Marion’s violent crime score of 15.8 out of 100 is lower than the national average of 22.7, the city’s property crime rate is higher. Marion scores 50.4, higher than the U.S. average of 35.4, suggesting seniors should ensure any assisted living community under consideration is equipped with a state-of-the-art security system.
