What to Consider About Assisted Living in Minford

Minford is a small community in Scioto County, close to the county seat of Portsmouth. At the 2010 Census less than 700 people lived in Minford, and around 27 percent were 65 or older. Despite the small population, Minford is home to one assisted living facility that caters to its seniors. There are another four in the nearby communities of Wheelersburg, New Boston and Porstmouth. These facilities are monitored and licensed by the Ohio Department of Health, which provides different licenses based on the facility's size and the level of care offered.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Minford

  • Public transport in Minford is provided by Access Scioto County Public Transit. This is an on-demand shared ride service that provides curb-to-curb transport. Senior riders are eligible for half price fares.
  • The Sperling index rates Minford's overall cost of living at 79, 21 points lower than the national average. This is largely due to the low cost of housing, but seniors can still save money on groceries, health care and transport, which are all cheaper than the U.S. average.
  • Minford averages just 163 days of sunshine each year, more than 40 fewer than the U.S. average. Winters can be cold, with January lows of just 21 degrees, and there are 81 days of rain, snow, sleet or hail each year. This can keep seniors inside over the winter months.
  • Seniors who receive Social Security income are exempt from income tax in Ohio, but retirement funds and pensions are taxed as usual. Seniors may qualify for a tax credit, which can bring their tax bill down and keep more money in their retirement budget.
  • The Minford area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Portsmouth.
  • The Sperling crime index ranks crime on a scale of 1-100, with 100 being high crime. Minford's violent crime rate is ranked 43.2, compared to the U.S. average of 31.1. Property crime is also high at 43.3, compared to the national average of 38.1. This may be concerning for safety-conscious seniors.
