What to Consider About Assisted Living in North Ridgeville

Assisted living facilities in North Ridgeville are regulated at the state level by the Bureau of Regulatory Operations at the Ohio Department of Health. This agency sets the regulations communities must follow, takes feedback from members of the public and conducts inspections to ensure compliance statewide.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in North Ridgeville

  • North Ridgeville has many local physicians who accept Medicare, and four major hospitals operate in or close to the city: EMH Regional Medical Center, St John Medical Center and Community Regional Medical Center.
  • Seniors may get a discount on the buses of Lorain County Transit, which operate on several local routes. For seniors who need curb-to-curb or even door-to-door service, local non-emergency transportation is available through the city’s volunteer disabled ride van. A donation of $1 or $2 is requested for each ride, but this is voluntary.
  • North Ridgeville has a lower crime rate than 89% of other U.S. cities. What crimes do occur within the city limits are mostly related to property and petty theft, while more serious crimes are rare. 
  • The lakeshore area where North Ridgeville sits has snowy winters and generally mild summer weather. On average, the region gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year, with occasional rainy days in July and August. Summer high temperatures average in the low 80s, while midday temperatures in the winter months tend toward the mid to upper 30s.
  • Ohio has moderate taxation that affects seniors. Social Security income is not taxed in Ohio, though other kinds of retirement income may be. Seniors in Ohio who pay taxes on income above $8,000 a year may also qualify for an in-state tax credit of up to $200.
  • Ohio’s cost of living is very close to the national average for expenses such as utilities, transportation and the cost of food. North Ridgeville generally has lower costs than these, with healthcare costs running up to 15% below the state and national averages.
