What to Consider About Memory Care in Franklin County
Franklin County is the largest county in a state where there are approximately 220,000 people living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. With almost 12 percent of the county's population aged 65 and over, there's a definite need for local memory care facilities to provide the necessary care to seniors who have been or may be at some stage of their life, diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Such facilities are known as Residential Care Facilities and are regulated by the Ohio Department of Health. There are over 30 of these facilities in Franklin County that fulfill the needs of local seniors with cognitive disabilities.
- Franklin County is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as the OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital and the Select Speciality Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Residents of Franklin County can expect an affordable way of life as the average cost of living is almost five percent less expensive than the national average. Healthcare ranks almost ten percent lower than the national average.
- The American Lung Association has awarded Franklin county a rating of "F" for ozone pollution, but a rating of "A" in its 24-hour particle pollution category. This suggests that the air quality could be harmful to people with respiratory conditions.
- Using a scale of one to 100, with one being the lowest crime rates and 100 the highest, violent crime in Franklin County is ranked at 50.6 and property crime at 51.9.
