What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cambridge

Cambridge, Ohio, is not named after Cambridge in England, but rather after the city in Massachusetts that's named after the city in England, which is where most of the town's early settlers came from. Cambridge has four assisted living communities, all of which are regulated by the Ohio Department of Health’s Office of Health Assurance and Licensing. This state body inspects sites to ensure high-quality care and minimum standards for seniors' independence and health. Residents in Ohio's residential care facilities can expect room and board, as well as help with activities of daily living (ADLs) like dressing and personal care. Staff also provide 24-hour supervision and emergency response for residents, if needed.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Cambridge

  • Weather in Cambridge swings between mild summers and chilly winters. December-January lows here dip as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit, while summer highs generally top out at 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Rainfall of 56 inches a year can raise allergens that trouble some seniors with asthma, especially in spring.

  • Cost of living in Cambridge is close to the national average. Groceries here cost about 4 percent less than the median cost in America, while seniors who pay for health care generally pay 3 percent less.

  • State income tax rates in Ohio run from 0.495 to 4.997 percent, with up to 3 percent more charged by local communities. SSI and retirement income may be exempt, which helps seniors on fixed incomes manage costs. Aging citizens who shop for most items can expect to pay 6.5 to 8 percent extra in sales tax.

  • Cambridge's crime rates are generally high, compared with both the state and national averages. Rates across categories are about double the national median here, though 24-hour staffing in assisted living communities tends to keep seniors safe.

  • Public transportation in Cambridge is in the hands of South East Area Transit (SEAT), which offers seniors discounts on regular fares and a convenient dial-a-ride service that can help them keep medical appointments that come up on short notice.
