The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Dublin, OH for 2024

The charming city of Dublin is known for its historic downtown district with unique shops, restaurants,l and public art displays, offering a one-of-a-kind experience for residents and visitors alike. Minimal crime, retiree-friendly tax laws and high-performing hospitals make it a prime option for those aged 65 and over, a demographic that accounts for over 12% of the 50,000-person population

Assisted living is a great option for older adults who need some help with daily living activities but don’t need the intensive level of care nursing homes provide. These residential facilities provide personal care services, meals, housekeeping and laundry services, enabling older adults to focus on hobbies and interests in a maintenance-free setting. The Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey reports that seniors in the Dublin region pay $4,500 per month for this type of care, which is a little high compared to state and national medians. 

In this guide, we’ve compiled comprehensive information on what to expect from assisted living in Dublin, including care costs, the regulations that facilities comply with, financial assistance options and nonprofit programs and agencies that help seniors navigate care options.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Dublin

Assisted living facilities in Dublin, also known as residential care facilities, are licensed and monitored by the Ohio Department of Health. This department enforces laws regarding housing, meals, staffing recreational activities and care planning to ensure a high standard of care for residents. To ensure compliance, the department has an initial licensing process and conducts at least one unannounced visit per nine to 15-month period.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Dublin

  • Dublin is among the most expensive places to live in the Columbus metro area, with a cost of living that exceeds the national average by 18% and the statewide average by 36%. This is mainly due to the high cost of housing, which can make assisted living an attractive option for seniors. However, healthcare services are affordable compared to state and national medians and may offset higher living expenses. 
  • Dublin is a safe community with some of the lowest crime rates in the nation. On a 100-point index, violent crime in this city is rated 7.6 and property crime is rated 19.9, compared to regional respective rates of 18.1 and 41.8 and national averages of 22.7 and 35.4. These rates are also low compared to crime statistics in similarly sized cities such as Delaware and Westerville.  
  • On a 10-point comfort index, Dublin rates slightly higher than the national average of 7 with a score of 7.1. Winters are chilly with lows in the 20s, and there’s about 23 inches of annual snowfall. Summers are warm and pleasant with highs in the mid-80s.  
  • Dublin seniors have easy access to healthcare services, which may benefit those managing chronic conditions. The region is home to high-performing hospitals such as Dublin Methodist Hospital and Riverside Methodist Hospital, both of which are part of the OhioHealth system and provide emergency services and a range of adult specialties. There are about 275 physicians per 100,000 people, compared to the national rate of 210 physicians.   
  • Seniors in Dublin don’t pay state income taxes on Social Security benefits, and while income from public and private pensions and retirement accounts is taxed as regular income, credits are available to minimize this burden. Property and sales tax rates tend to be high compared to the rest of the country.  

Paying for Assisted Living in Dublin
