What to Consider About Assisted Living in Springfield

There are lots of things to do in Springfield, Ohio, between the Hartman Rock Garden, Mad River Gorge and Nature Preserve and the many area museums, all of which may be of interest to the city's 9,285 seniors. For those seniors who require facility care, there are eight assisted living facilities in the city, with another three located in the surrounding communities. In Springfield, as in all of Ohio, Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) are licensed by the Ohio Department of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Springfield

 

  • Ohio does not tax Social Security benefits, but fully taxes retirement savings account income and partially taxes pensions. Springfield seniors living on pensions or social security might find that these tax breaks result in more money to allocate toward their expenses.
  • The Clark County Veterans Service Commission operates two vans in the Springfield area that are used to transport veterans to and from the Dayton VA Medical Center. Additionally, Springfield City Area Transit (SCAT) provides public bus transportation throughout Springfield. Seniors age 65 and older qualify for reduced fares, making the bus system a cost-effective mode of transportation for low-income seniors.
  • Springfield's cost of living is 73.8, more than 20 points lower than the national average of 100. Seniors can also expect to pay less for transportation, healthcare, and groceries in the area, which might make the city a good fit for seniors with low or fixed incomes.
  • Springfield has a violent crime rate of 35.4 and a property crime rate of 93.6, both significantly higher than the U.S. averages of 22.7 and 35.4, respectively. Seniors in assisted living facilities are generally protected by security systems and safeguards.
  • Springfield winters are cold with lows of 18 degrees and an annual snowfall of 19 inches. Seniors who like warmer weather might not enjoy living in Springfield.
  • Springfield has poor air quality. On a scale where 100 represents the areas with the best air quality, Springfield has a rank of 50, eight points below the U.S. average of 58. The city might not be an ideal location for seniors with asthma or COPD.
