What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pickerington

In Pickerington, assisted living facilities, also known as residential care facilities, are licensed through the Ohio Department of Health. This department outlines the requirements for all facilities in the city and the state as a whole and enforces rules related to staff training, building features and care planning. It also conducts on-site inspections throughout the year.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pickerington

 

  • Seniors in Pickerington don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, and they may be eligible to claim tax credits to reduce what they owe on other forms of retirement income. This may impact how much some seniors and families can put toward local assisted living expenses.
  • The overall cost of living is high in Pickerington compared to the state as a whole but modest compared to nationwide norms, which may make the city a budget-friendly option for those moving from outside the state. Housing costs, groceries and utilities are a little more expensive here than in typical U.S. cities, but assisted living facilities may provide older adults with an affordable alternative to living alone.
  • Crime occurs less frequently in Pickerington than in a typical U.S. city, which may make it a welcoming option for active seniors. Historically, property and violent crimes are uncommon in this city, earning the city a score of 11 for violent crime and 29.9 for property-related offenses on a 100-point index. These scores are low compared to national respective norms of 22.7 and 35.4.
  • Pickerington’s weather is warm compared to the rest of Ohio, with year-round temperatures ranging from 21 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. The city scores 8.7 on a 10-point index, indicating a high number of days with pleasant weather and low humidity levels, and it gets about 40 inches of rain and 21 inches of snow annually. Assisted living facilities in Pickerington often have indoor and outdoor activities throughout the year, letting residents maintain an active lifestyle regardless of the weather.
  • Health care costs in Pickerington average about 11% lower than the national norm, but the local provider network is comparatively small, with just 142 doctors per capita versus 210 nationally. There are no hospitals in the city proper, but Diley Ridge Medical Center in Canal Winchester and Mount Carmel East in Columbus are located within 8 miles of the city center. Additionally, many assisted living facilities have nurses on staff and physicians on call for regular medical needs.
