What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mansfield

Mansfield is known as "the fun center of Ohio," "the racing center of Ohio," and "the carousel capital" for the amusement parks that dot the entire area. The city also has 14 assisted living communities for seniors who need help with activities of daily living, such as dressing and personal care. Ohio's residential care homes are all regulated by Ohio Department of Health’s Office of Health Assurance and Licensing, which inspects sites and enforces state laws for the care of dependent seniors.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mansfield

 

  • Mansfield's weather can get cold in winter, with December lows of 18 degrees Fahrenheit, which can cause some issues for seniors whose COPD or asthma are affected by dry air. Summers are mild, with July highs of only 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Mansfield gets 44 inches of rain a year, and 51 inches of snow fall here in the chilly winters. 
     
  • Mansfield's cost of living is a bit lower than is common nationally. Seniors who buy groceries in town pay an average of 96 percent the median national cost, while health care runs to 99 percent of the average national cost.
     
  • Ohio's income tax runs from 0.495 to 4.997 percent. Local income tax adds between 0 and 3 percent to that, but Social Security income and most forms of retirement income are tax-free.
     
  • Crime has always been higher than average in Mansfield. Rates of property crimes here run to double the national average, though assisted living communities with 24-hour staff presence are fairly safe places. Thankfully, violent crime rates are still close to national median rates.
     
  • Mansfield's bus service is handled by Richland County Transit (RCT), which operates routes around the area and offers senior discounts to adults over 60 with valid ID. RCT also offers dial-a-ride service for adults with disabilities who need scheduled rides.
     
  • The Mansfield area is home to world-class medical facilities, including OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
