What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hilliard
Hilliard, Ohio, sits northwest of Columbus, making it easy for seniors to go into the city with family for day trips. The city has a population of 35,939, and 10.2 percent of that population is made up of seniors age 65 and older. Some these seniors may need help with activities of daily living as provided in an assisted living facility. The Ohio Department of Health licenses and regulates the four assisted living facilities in Hilliard, as well as in the rest of the state.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hilliard
- The city's average cost of living is on par with that of the United States and one percent higher than the Ohio average. However, seniors may find that healthcare is affordable at five percent lower than the state median and 8 percent lower than the U.S. average.
- Ohio is considered a moderately tax-friendly state for seniors because the state doesn't charge an income tax on Social Security payments. However, the state does implement an income tax on money withdrawn from a retirement account and a partial income tax on pension payments.
- The Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) offers half-price fares for seniors aged 65 and older. To qualify, seniors have to have a Senior ID provided by COTA. This ID is valid for three years.
- The Hilliard area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Mount Carmel Hilliard, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- The weather in Hilliard remains pretty moderate throughout the year. The average temperature in July is 74 degrees, but during the summer, it can get hot and muggy. Autumn and spring are usually mild, but winters can be cold and snowy. Freezing conditions could make it difficult for family members to visit their loved ones who reside in assisted living facilities at times.
- Overall, the air quality in Hilliard isn't a problem. It averages 14 percent better than the rest of the United States. However, being near Columbus does make pollution an issue. The city's pollution index is 326 percent worse than the national average, which could affect seniors with asthma, emphysema, and other conditions that make breathing difficult.
