What to Consider About Assisted Living in Middletown

The Ohio Department of Health's Bureau of Regulatory Operations division licenses and regulates assisted living communities in Middletown and throughout the state. The agency also provides updated information on facility operations, resident rights and state and local advocates who seniors and their families can contact if any issues arise. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Middletown

  • Based on a 100-point index, cost of living in Middletown is nearly 23% lower than the national average. The city is also more affordable than Ohio's statewide average and has lower housing and transportation costs. Additionally, assisted living communities offer fixed monthly rates, which can be helpful for budget-friendly retirees. 
  • Middletown has hot, humid summers and cold winters that receive about 12 inches of annual snowfall. The city also experiences an average of 179 sunny days per year, which is lower than the national average of 205 days. However, assisted living communities provide indoor amenities, such as activity rooms and fitness centers, to help residents stay active during unpleasant weather. 
  • Crime rates in Middletown are high compared to U.S. figures. Based on a 100-point index, Middletown ranks at 35.9 for violent crime and 95 for property crime, while the United States receives scores of 22.7 and 35.4. That said, assisted living communities have tight security features to keep residents safe. 
  • Ohio offers several tax credits that may benefit seniors, including two credits for those aged 65 and older earning less than $100,000 per year and a homestead exemption for low-income adults. Additionally, the state offers a $50 senior citizen credit per return and doesn't tax Social Security, which can be helpful for older adults using these funds to pay for assisted living. 
  • Health care prices in Middletown are 15% lower than national figures, and residents have access to 115 physicians per 100,000 population. Although the national median is higher at 210 physicians, some assisted living communities have certified health care professionals on staff, making medical care more accessible. 
  • Middletown is home to Atrium Medical Center, an award-winning hospital offering various medical services, including cancer care, neuroscience and an emergency department. The facility is a nationally recognized leader in providing quality care, and the only accredited Chest Pain Center in Warren County.
