Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bedford

  • Bedford, a suburb of Cleveland, is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.

  • The Bedford area is home to world-class medical facilities, including University Hospitals Bedford Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Seniors receiving income from Social Security will appreciate the fact that they don't have to pay income tax in Ohio.

  • Bedford lies in the Cleveland-Akron-Canton metroplex area. which has very poor air quality, according to the American Lung Association. It has the tenth highest annual particle pollution levels in the country and also rates poorly on ozone pollution and 24-hour particle pollution. This may affect the health of seniors with respiratory conditions.

  • Bedford experiences cold and snowy winters, with an average of 59 inches of snow each year and January lows of just 19 degrees. There are generally only 165 days of sun each year, which can keep seniors indoors more than they'd like.
