What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fairborn

The Ohio Department of Health licenses assisted living communities in Fairborn as residential care facilities through its Bureau of Regulatory Operations. It sets the minimum number of residents facilities must have, and it defines the scope of services they provide. The department also sets rules related to staffing, housing and care planning and investigates complaints from residents, families or caregivers.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fairborn

  • Fairborn offers a generally affordable lifestyle for retirees, with an overall cost of living that runs 12% below the nationwide average. Housing prices are especially affordable here, helping to reduce assisted living costs, and seniors typically spend about 9% less on health care expenses here than in a typical U.S. city.
  • Seniors in Fairborn don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security payments, benefiting those who rely on this source of income for living and long-term care expenses. While Ohio taxes other forms of retirement earnings as normal income, it provides credits to help seniors minimize their tax liability. Additionally, certain necessities, such as food and medications, are exempt from sales tax, giving seniors a break on some of the items they purchase most often.
  • Soin Medical Center serves as the closest major medical facility to Fairborn, sitting about 4 miles outside the city center in Beavercreek. It’s certified as a Primary Stroke Center and houses a cancer center with 15 exam rooms and 20 private and semi-private infusion bays. The hospital also offers health services for seniors, including specialized primary care services and educational opportunities.
  • Fairborn ranks as safer than 33% of U.S. cities, and its crime rate falls near typical rates in communities with similar population sizes. Annually, residents see about 15 crimes per 1,000 people, with both violent and property crimes occurring less frequently here than in the nation as a whole. Those seeking assisted living may want to focus their search on neighborhoods such as Holiday Valley and Fairborn East, which have below-average incidents of criminal activity.
  • Fairborn’s midwestern climate brings predictably hot summers and cold winters, along with about 40 inches of rain and 16 inches of snow compared to respective U.S. norms of 38 and 28 inches. Temperatures range from highs of 85 degrees Fahrenheit in July to lows of 22 degrees Fahrenheit in January. To accommodate a variety of preferences, assisted living communities often host indoor and outdoor activities, such as walking clubs, gardening sessions and arts and crafts.
