What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hamilton

In Hamilton and throughout Ohio, assisted living facilities are officially called residential care facilities. The Ohio Department of Health oversees these facilities and has a stringent licensing process in place to ensure high-quality care. It also operates a hotline for reporting substandard care and conditions in assisted living facilities, which individuals can reach at (800) 342-0553.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hamilton

 

  • Seniors in Hamilton pay state income taxes on most forms of retirement income, including withdrawals from investment accounts and government and private pensions. While this may impact how much money they can put toward assisted living, the state exempts Social Security benefits from taxation, providing significant annual savings for many retirees.
  • The air quality in the Hamilton region is moderate and may be a consideration for prospective assisted living residents with chronic heart or lung conditions. The American Lung Association gives Butler County a D for ozone pollution levels, indicating a relatively high number of high-ozone days throughout the year. However, the region gets a B for 24-hour particle pollution.
  • On a 100-point cost of living index based on average living costs in the nation as a whole, Hamilton scores 87.1 versus the state score of 82.7. This shows that while local living costs are a little high in this city compared to the rest of Ohio, the city is an affordable place to live compared to other communities nationwide. This may make it an attractive option for seniors with fixed incomes.
  • Violent crime is a little more prevalent in Hamilton than in a typical U.S. city and the property crime rate is very high compared to national norms, which may make assisted living a good alternative to living alone. The city rates 26.5 for violent crime and 73.1 for property crime on a 100-point index, versus the respective national rates of 22.7 and 35.4. However, the frequency of both types of crime has been declining for the past two decades, providing peace of mind to those considering local long-term care options.
  • On a 10-point comfort index, Hamilton scores 8.5, higher than the national score of 7.8, indicating the weather is generally pleasant throughout the year. Daytime temperatures range from 38 degrees in the winter to 87 degrees in the summer, and the city gets 43 inches of rain and 13 inches of snow annually. Many assisted living facilities have individual climate controls in residents’ suites and apartments, letting residents customize their environment to their comfort.
