What to Consider About Assisted Living in North Olmsted

In North Olmsted, assisted living facilities are licensed through the Ohio Department of Health. This department publishes information on residents’ rights and advocacy resources for assisted living residents, and it maintains a list of all licensed facilities in the state. It also enforces rules related to staffing and staff training, care planning and move-in and move-out procedures.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in North Olmsted

 

  • In Ohio, seniors don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits. Although other forms of retirement income are taxed as regular income at rates ranging from 0-3.99%, depending on the individual’s tax bracket, small credits are available to those aged 65 and over, helping some seniors put more money toward assisted living expenses.
  • On a 100-point cost of living index based on national norms, North Olmsted scores 88.2 versus the Ohio score of 82.7. Groceries, housing and transportation costs are all high in this city compared to what’s typical for Ohio, but opting for an assisted living facility with all-inclusive pricing may make it easy for seniors to anticipate monthly expenses.
  • Crime is relatively uncommon in North Olmsted, contributing to the type of environment many prospective assisted living residents are seeking. On a 100-point index that rates communities according to how much crime occurs, North Olmsted scores 11.3 for violent crime and 24 for property crime. By comparison, the respective U.S. scores come in at 22.7 and 35.4.
  • North Olmsted shares Ohio’s humid continental climate, which features four distinct seasons. Summers are warm and comfortable with daytime temperatures around 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and winters are chilly with nighttime lows around 21 degrees Fahrenheit. The city gets 39 inches of rain and 53 inches of snow, versus national respective norms of 38 and 28 inches. Fortunately, many assisted living facilities have individual climate controls in residents’ rooms to support year-round comfort.
  • There are no hospitals in North Olmsted, but UH St. John Medical Center is located just 2 miles away in Westlake. This nonprofit acute care hospital has 204 inpatient and outpatient beds and provides a full range of primary and specialty services for seniors. Additionally, there are about 399 doctors per capita in this city compared to 210 nationally, and health care costs come in about 17% below the national norm. To promote access to care, many assisted living facilities provide nonemergency medical transportation and concierge services.
