What to Consider About Assisted Living in Shaker Heights
Assisted living communities in Shaker Heights are licensed as residential care facilities by the Ohio Department of Health. Licensed facilities must follow all state laws and regulations. The department conducts unannounced inspections on a nine-to-15 month cycle to ensure facilities are in compliance with the laws.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Shaker Heights
- Residents of Shaker Heights enjoy easy access to the many hospitals in nearby Cleveland. This includes the world-famous Cleveland Clinic, which was named the nation’s second-best hospital by U.S. News & World Report. Other well-regarded local hospitals include the University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center and MetroHealth Medical Center.
- In Shaker Heights, the combined rate of property and violent crime is just 8.69 per 1,000 residents. Statewide, the overall crime rate is much higher at 23.49 per 1,000 residents. This means Shaker Heights is considerably safer than many other communities in Ohio.
- Shaker Heights has an overall cost of living about 16% higher than the Ohio average. This is largely due to its above-average housing costs, although residents also face higher prices for transportation and groceries than the state norms. Still, it’s a relatively affordable place to retire by national standards.
- Ohio doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, Railroad Retirement benefits or military pensions, which leaves more money in seniors’ pockets. For other types of retirement income, the state also offers tax credits for retirees with base incomes below $100,000. The sales tax rate in Shaker Heights is 8%, which is slightly higher than the state average rate of 7.23%.
- The Cleveland-Akron-Canton metropolitan area suffers from air pollution problems, according to American Lung Association rankings. It was ranked one of the nation’s most polluted cities for year-round particle pollution. However, that doesn’t mean seniors need to breathe unhealthy air. Residents can protect themselves by monitoring the daily forecast and staying indoors on days with poor air quality.
- Seniors who are uncomfortable in hot weather will enjoy Shaker Heights’ cool climate. During the winter months, daytime high temperatures hover around the freezing mark. Summers are relatively mild, with average highs around 80 degrees, and temperatures over 90 degrees are a rare occurrence.
