What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hilliard

Assisted living communities in Hilliard and the state are often referred to as residential care facilities (RCF). The Ohio Department of Health licenses assisted living facilities, and each is inspected at least once every 15 months. These facilities may provide skilled nursing if authorized.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hilliard

  • Hilliard has a relatively strong economy, which benefits seniors in assisted living and those in the community. The household income of its residents is 64.9% higher than the U.S. average, helping to attract service providers and boost infrastructure growth. A slightly higher percentage of people work in health care and social assistance—14.2% of Hilliard’s workers compared to 13.8% nationwide. In particular, there are 275 physicians per 100,000 residents, which is significantly higher than the national average of 210.
  • Crime is much less of a problem in Hilliard when compared to the Columbus metro area, Ohio itself and the U.S. overall. The violent crime rate is 10.1 out of 100 in Hilliard, and its property crime rate is 23.8—the U.S. averages are 22.7 and 35.4, respectively. No cities in Ohio of a similar size have a lower property crime rate than Hilliard.
  • Franklin County, which includes the city of Hilliard, became a member of the AARP Age-Friendly Network in 2018. Joining this network signifies the willingness of local governments and other institutions to create an action plan and work toward making the area a better place for seniors to live.
  • Hilliard has fairly average air and water quality. In a BestPlaces.net analysis of the EPA’s National Air Toxics Assessment, a measure of pollutants in the air and consequent health risks, the city ranks just one point above the U.S. average, at 59 out of 100. An assessment of Hilliard’s watershed quality, again using EPA data, ranks Hilliard six points below the national average, at 49 out of 100.
  • The city’s overall cost of living is relatively high compared to the state average—an increase of 19%. However, the cost of health care in Hilliard is lower than Ohio’s average by 0.8% and the U.S. by 13.4%.
