What to Consider About Assisted Living in North Royalton

The Ohio Department of Health regulates assisted living facilities in North Royalton and the rest of Ohio, ensuring a consistent standard of care for all residents. While features and amenities vary by facility, all assisted living facilities follow the same minimum requirements related to the scope of care they must provide, nutrition services and recreational activities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in North Royalton

 

  • Seniors in North Royalton pay state income taxes on the income they draw from their retirement savings accounts, as well as public and private pensions, but they can claim a small credit to reduce this expense. Social Security benefits are completely tax-free in Ohio, which may benefit seniors relocating to this state for long-term care.
  • While the overall cost of living in North Royalton is a little high compared to Ohio as a whole, it’s a little below the national norm, benefiting many seniors moving to this city from outside the state. On a cost of living index based on a national score of 100, the city scores 94.5, about eight points over the Ohio norm. Housing costs are higher here than in other Ohio cities, which may make residential care a viable alternative to home-based services.
  • Cuyahoga County, where North Royalton is located, has a comparatively large number of high-ozone days annually. However, the city has a passing score on the American Lung Association’s annual particle pollution matrix, and it scores C for 24-hour particle pollution. Many assisted living facilities have air purification systems, and they all host indoor activities throughout the year, promoting residents’ health and comfort when conditions aren’t suited to outdoor activities.
  • North Royalton’s violent and property crime rates are considerably lower than the U.S. average, which may make the city an attractive option for those seeking long-term care. On a crime index that assigns higher scores to cities with more crime, the city scores 7.7 for violent crime and 17.8 for property crime, versus national respective scores of 22.7 and 35.4.
  • North Royalton residents enjoy pleasant weather throughout the year, with the city scoring 9.1 on a 10-point comfort index compared to the national score of 7.8. Summers are warm with daytime temperatures in the low 80s, and while July tends to be humid, noticeable humidity is minimal throughout the rest of the year. In the winter, daytime temperatures are in the 30s. To keep residents comfortable, many assisted living facilities feature individual climate controls in residents’ rooms.
