Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Cuyahoga Falls

 

  • Taxes on retirement income are a little higher in Ohio than in many other U.S. states, which may impact how seniors budget their expenses. Retirees pay taxes on pension income and withdrawals from retirement savings accounts, although small credits are available to reduce this burden. However, Social Security benefits aren’t taxed, which may provide significant savings for those seeking assisted living in Cuyahoga Falls.
  • The American Lung Association gives Summit County grades of C for ozone and 24-hour particle pollution levels, indicating a moderate number of high-ozone and high-particle days throughout the year. However, the region has a passing score for annual particle pollution levels, indicating a limited amount of year-round exposure to harmful environmental irritants. To promote residents’ safety and comfort, many assisted living facilities have advanced air purification systems.
  • Western Reserve Hospital is located in Cuyahoga Falls and is one of the region’s most technologically advanced community hospitals. It has over 400 physicians and 220 nurses and provides a full range of health care services, educational resources and community outreach initiatives. Health care costs about 7% less here than in the United States as a whole, which may provide cost savings for seniors managing chronic health conditions.
  • Cuyahoga Falls is a relatively affordable place to live, which may help seniors remain financially stable throughout their retirement years. On an index set to a national score of 100, the city rates 78.4, several points lower than the state score of 82.7. This, combined with the state’s Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver Program for qualified individuals, may make assisted living financially feasible for many seniors.
  • With a humid continental climate, Cuyahoga Falls offers distinct seasons and relatively moderate temperatures throughout the year, appealing to active seniors. The city gets 38 inches of rain and 43 inches of snow, with some kind of precipitation falling 144 days out of the year, and temperatures range from lows of 20 degrees in the winter to summer highs of 83 degrees.
