London, located in Madison County, Ohio, is home to about 10,000 residents and has a large senior community that makes up more than 16% of the population. While the city's property crime rate is a little higher than the national average, its rate of violent crime is notably below regional, state and national medians. This may make it an appealing option for seniors seeking out a safe community for their retirement years.Â
In London, as in the rest of Ohio, assisted living facilities may also be referred to as residential care facilities. There are three assisted living facilities in London proper and one more in the nearby community of West Jefferson. Like all facilities in the state, these facilities are governed by the Ohio Department of Health.Â
