Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Alliance

 

  • Aultman Alliance Community Hospital is a fully accredited community hospital that provides a variety of services, including urology, mammography and heart care. The hospital has a dedicated Senior Care Unit with health care specialists who treat conditions and symptoms such as sleep difficulties, disorientation, weight changes and depression.

 

  • Ohio seniors may claim tax credits to reduce what they owe to the state in taxes on their pension income and withdrawals for retirement savings accounts, and the state doesn’t impose taxes on Social Security benefits. This may allow some seniors to put more money toward their monthly care expenses.

The city ranks safer than 17% of U.S. communities and about 10% of cities and towns in Ohio. To keep assisted living residents and their belongings safe, facilities offer services such as escorted transportation, as well as features such as security gates and surveillance cameras.

Six months out of the year have significant snowfall, with January getting an average of 10 inches of snow, for a total of 37 inches of snow annually.
