What to Consider About Assisted Living in Massillon
Massillon, situated in northeast Ohio, about 60 miles south of Cleveland, was founded in 1912. It was supposed to be a Utopian society with all residents sharing both the work and the profits, but that plan didn't succeed. Today, the city is home to 5,383 seniors, some of whom may need assistance with the tasks of everyday living. There are four assisted living facilities in Massillon to support this growing demographic, and an additional 12 facilities located in nearby towns and cities, such as Canton, Brewster and Navarre.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Massillon
- Ohio fully taxes retirement savings account withdrawals, which could have an impact on Massillon Seniors when it comes to preparing for their monthly expenses.
- The low cost of living in Massillon may be of interest to seniors with restrictive monthly budgets. The city’s cost of living is 82.8, lower than the Ohio average of 87.7 and the national median of 100. Seniors can also expect to pay less for housing, groceries, healthcare, utilities and transportation here than they would elsewhere in the state or country.
- Massillon has a violent crime rate of 19.3, three points lower than the national median of 22.7. Its property crime rate is 43.8, almost ten points higher than the national median of 35.4. Seniors and their families may want to ensure that prospective facilities have security features like alarm systems.
- The air quality rating in Massillon at 58 is the same as the U.S. average, which means seniors will breathe as easily here as they would in most other U.S. cities. However, it’s always a good idea for seniors with respiratory issues to check daily pollen levels before heading outside for the day.
- The Massillon area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Canton.
- July highs in Massillon reach 83 degrees, and winter lows drop to 20, which might make this an ideal location for seniors who are looking for a city without extreme seasonal temperatures for retirement. The city also gets 38 inches of snow each year, 10 more than the national median of 28 inches, which makes it hard for seniors who use mobility aids to navigate.
