Perrysburg is a suburban city on the south shores of the Maumee River, about 15 minutes from downtown Toledo. The 2020 census revealed that 14.5% of its 25,000 residents are aged 65 and older and that the population grew by almost 22% in the previous 10 years, suggesting Perrysburg is becoming increasingly popular. For seniors, the city’s appeal will almost certainly include the free curb-to-curb transportation provided by the local transit authority, the below-average cost of living and exceptionally low levels of crime. The city’s downtown area may also be a draw due to its plethora of boutique stores and diverse dining options.
Assisted living facilities offer a semi-independent lifestyle for seniors no longer able to handle some everyday tasks at home, such as cooking meals. They’re staffed by caregivers who ensure seniors live in clean and comfortable accommodation, get healthy meals three times daily and get plenty of opportunities to socialize with other residents. The average monthly fee in Perrysburg is $4,779, which is above the state average of $4,350.
