Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Tiffin

  • Seneca County's resident-to-primary care physician ratio of 2,890 to 1 is higher than Ohio's ratio of 1,290 to 1. However, Tiffin's population has access to a comprehensive range of primary care and specialty services on their doorstep at Mercy Health — Tiffin Hospital, a 24-hour acute care facility that The Chartis Center for Rural Health recognized as a Top 100 Rural and Community Hospital in 2023.
  • Residents of Seneca and Crawford counties, including Tiffin's seniors, can access affordable, driver-assisted curb-to-curb services from Seneca-Crawford Area Transportation (SCAT). What's more, SCAT's Elderly and Disabled Pass affords seniors half-price fares for trips within Seneca or Crawford County.
  • Seniors' money goes further in Tiffin, as overall living costs average 28.8% below the U.S. norm, and Social Security retirement benefits are exempt from state income tax. Local assisted living facilities also often offer all-inclusive monthly rates, making it easy to budget for living expenses.
  • Tiffin's year-round climate experiences significant seasonal variations. Daily lows in winter average a freezing 27 degrees Fahrenheit, and there's at least 1 inch of snow on the ground for around 4 months of the year. However, summers are warm, if a little muggy 26% of the time, with daily highs and lows averaging 79 and 62 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively, affording assisted living residents a chance to enjoy outdoor recreational activities in relative comfort.
  • Tiffin-Seneca Public Library hosts themed outreach presentations at local nursing homes and assisted living facilities to entertain and educate residents and provide seniors with opportunities to share memories. The library also provides rotating collections of books to residential care facilities in the area throughout the year.
  • Based on violent and property crime levels, Tiffin is statistically safer than an average U.S. city. Its 100-point violent crime index rating of 9.1 compares favorably to the national norm of 22.7, enabling assisted living residents to feel relatively safe during outings in the local community.
