What to Consider About Assisted Living in Upper Sandusky

Upper Sandusky is located along the banks of the Sandusky River in Ohio, a picturesque spot with several riverside trails popular for walking and bird watching. This small town, with a population of just 6,800, is equally spaced between Toledo and Columbus, allowing easy access to big-city amenities for the city's seniors, who make up about 20% of the residents. As they age, these seniors are a demographic likely to need accommodations in an assisted living facility to help with daily living needs and light health care. Upper Sandusky is home to two of these group homes. 

Assisted living facilities are referred to as Residential Care Facilities by the state of Ohio. The state's Department of Health licenses and regulates each property and conducts unannounced inspections annually. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Upper Sandusky

  • The weather in Upper Sandusky consists of warm, mild summers and long winters that are cold and snowy. With January low temperatures averaging in the teens, seniors with health conditions that are aggravated by the cold may not be comfortable here. 
  • The cost of living in the U.S. is measured using a baseline of 100 for the average. In Upper Sandusky, the overall cost of living is 80.3, lower than the rest of the country. Housing costs are half the national average, which may mean assisted living fees are less, too, since operating costs are lower. This is important for those on a limited income. 
  • The state of Ohio provides a Homestead Exemption for seniors and those with a qualifying disability. This is a tax exemption that adjusts the amount of property taxes owed, which may be helpful for those with a tight budget.
  • Crime rates, both violent and property, are lower in Upper Sandusky than the rest of the nation. Violent crime is 12.7 on a scale of 1 to 100, compared to the U.S. average of 22.7. Property crimes measure 33.2, compared to the 35.4 national average. 
  • The Upper Sandusky area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Wyandot Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Upper Sandusky has an array of community resources for seniors, including one multi-purpose senior center and the Wyandot County Council on Aging, an organization that plans trips and activities.
