What to Consider About Assisted Living in Garfield Heights

In the 1820s Garfield Heights, Ohio, was larger than Cleveland. Since then Cleveland has grown, but Garfield Heights remains a sizable city of just under 30,000 people. Over 15 percent of the population are aged 65 and over and there is one assisted living facility in the city catering to seniors and another 49 in nearby communities. These facilities are monitored and licensed by the Ohio Department of Health. The state offers different licenses depending on the size of the facility and the level of care provided.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Garfield Heights

  • The City of Garfield Heights provides senior transport to residents of the city through the Garfield Heights Senior Center. This is a curb-to-curb service offered to people 60 years and over.
  • Seniors who receive income from retirement funds or pensions are subject to income tax in Ohio, although they may be eligible for a tax credit. Social Security is tax-exempt, allowing seniors who receive income from this source to keep more of their money for retirement living.
  • The overall cost of living in Garfield Heights is rated at 78 by the Sperling index, which is 22 points lower than the national average and 10 points lower than the Ohio average. The cost of groceries and health care are also lower than the state average, making the city an economical place for retirees to settle in Ohio.
  • The weather in Garfield Heights can be wet and cloudy and the city gets precipitation 87 days each year. In January the average low temperature is just 20 degrees and the city gets around 63 inches of snow each year, 37 more than the national average. This can be challenging for seniors who don't like the cold.
  • The Garfield Heights area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Marymount Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Cuyahoga County, including Garfield Heights, has poor air quality. Both ozone pollution and annual particle pollution received a failing grade in the State of the Air Report 2018, although 24-hour particle pollution received a B grade. High levels of air pollution may affect the health of seniors with lung problems and other respiratory issues.
