What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lakewood

The suburban city of Lakewood, Ohio, lies just west of Cleveland alongside Lake Erie. An expansive park hugs the shoreline, making the city ideal for active, nature-loving seniors who also want convenient access to big-city amenities. Seniors have plenty of options when it comes to assisted living facilities, with two located in Lakewood itself and 26 others in nearby communities. The Ohio Department of Health licenses all assisted living facilities in the state, including facilities in and around Lakewood, and these communities are referred to as residential care facilities by the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lakewood

  • Lakewood has a cloudy, wet climate with winds from Lake Erie and moderate temperatures in winter and summer. Lake snow squalls and mild summer weather let active seniors enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities year-round.
  • As part of the greater Cleveland metro area, Lakewood has air pollution that could affect seniors with respiratory issues. The general area, which includes Cleveland, Akron and Canton, has the 10th worst year-round particle pollution levels in the country according to the American Lung Association.
  • Lakewood has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Lakewood Division of Aging, an organization that provides transportation services, hosts city-sponsored activities for seniors and runs a large senior center hosting in-house fitness lessons, craft groups and special events.
  • The Lakewood area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Cleveland Clinic Lakewood Family Health Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Lakewood is a fairly safe city with a crime rate that is 35 percent lower than the crime rate for the rest of the state and 34 percent lower than the national crime rate. The crime rate for violent crimes is 58 percent lower than the national average.
  • Frequent community festivals in Lakewood, including an annual arts festival and yearly Taste of Lakewood food and music event, offer seniors plenty of opportunities to enjoy local arts and culture.
