What to Consider About Assisted Living in North Canton

It also publishes a list of licensed assisted living facilities statewide.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in North Canton

 

  • The cost of living in North Canton is in line with the state norm and considerably lower than the U.S. average, making the city a financially viable option for many older adults seeking long-term care on a budget. On a 100-point index based on average living costs nationwide, the city rates a point higher than the state as a whole with a score of 83.8. Housing costs are a little higher than the Ohio norm, but seniors may avoid expenses related to homeownership by opting for residential care.
  • The air quality in the North Canton region is decent and may support the health and comfort of those living with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions. The American Lung Association gives the region a "C" for ozone pollution, indicating an average number of high-ozone days annually. Similarly, it receives a B for 24-hour particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution.
  • Seniors in the North Canton region pay state income taxes on income from pensions and retirement savings accounts, but they may be eligible to claim small credits to reduce their annual tax bill. Social Security payments are entirely tax-free at the state level, which may help some seniors have room in the budget for assisted living expenses in North Canton.
  • North Canton’s low crime rate may appeal to seniors seeking assisted living services in the Canton metro area. On a 100-point crime scale that assigns lower values to cities with fewer reported incidents, the city received scores of 9 for violent crime and 26.1 for property crime. This is notably lower than the respective national scores of 22.7 and 35.4.
  • Year-round temperatures in North Canton range from summer highs of 83 degrees Fahrenheit to winter lows of 20 degrees Fahrenheit, providing distinct seasons and changing scenery throughout the year. The city gets about 39 inches each of rain and snow, and while humidity levels are relatively high in July, noticeable humidity is absent for the rest of the year. This may make the city an attractive option for seniors who enjoy participating in outdoor activities.
