Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Geneva

• Seniors in Geneva might appreciate the area's moderate summer, spring and fall weather. During the summer, high temperatures rarely exceed 82 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the city is prone to harsh winter weather, including low temperatures around 23 degrees Fahrenheit and regular snowfall between November and March.
  
  
• Seniors in Ohio don't pay income tax on Social Security income. However, the state is only considered moderately tax friendly toward seniors because withdrawals from retirement accounts are fully taxed at 2.97 percent and pension payments are partially taxed.
  
  
• Geneva's overall cost of living index is 9 percent lower than the national average and on par with the rest of Ohio. However, because most of the difference is due to housing costs, seniors should still expect to pay above-average prices for miscellaneous goods, groceries and health care services.
  
  
• The Geneva area is home to world-class medical facilities, including University Hospitals Geneva Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  
  
• Geneva has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Ashtabula County Council on Aging, an organization that promotes the health, well-being and dignity of aging citizens through advocacy programs and services, as well as one senior center.
  
  
• Geneva seniors may appreciate that the city is safer than approximately 81 percent of U.S. communities. The area's violent crime rate is well below the national average, so seniors should feel relatively safe when venturing outside their community.
