What to Consider About Assisted Living in Worthington

Worthington, located along the Scioto River in central Ohio, has a New England feel with its brick sidewalks and village green, both ideal locations for the area’s 2,591 seniors to stroll and enjoy picnic lunches. The city also has three assisted living facilities to accommodate the city’s senior population, along with 36 more located in nearby areas such as Columbus and Westerville. In Worthington, assisted living facilities, known in the region as residential care facilities, are licensed by the Ohio Department of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Worthington

  • The cost of living in Worthington is 117.3, notably higher than both the Ohio average of 87.7 and the U.S. average of 100, which is driven mainly by higher housing costs in the area. Seniors can expect to pay less for health care and groceries in the area, although transportation expenses are higher than both the national and state averages at 103.9, something for seniors who rely on public transportation to consider.
  • As part of Franklin County, Worthington is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
  • Ohio seniors are not taxed on Social Security benefits, which might leave more money in the assisted living budgets for Worthington seniors.
  • The Worthington area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Columbus.
  • The low crime rates in Worthington may make seniors feel safer, whether out and about in the city or relaxing at home. The city has a violent crime rating of 9.2 and a property crime rating of 30.7, both lower than the U.S. averages of 22.7 and 25.4, respectively.
  • Worthington residents enjoy comfortable summer temperatures of 85 degrees and cooler winters where temperatures dip down to 21, which might make the city an ideal location for seniors who dislike extreme seasonal temperatures.
