What to Consider About Memory Care in Lancaster

In 2018, there were about 220,000 Ohioans with Alzheimer's disease, and that number is projected to grow to a quarter of a million by the year 2025. In Lancaster, where seniors age 65 and up account for just over 17 percent of the city's 40,280 residents, two memory care facilities are available to serve seniors who have Alzheimer's disease or another type of dementia. To give families in the Lancaster area more options, 16 additional memory care facilities are located in nearby towns such as Grove City and Gahanna.

The Ohio Department of Health licenses memory care facilities in Lancaster and throughout the state. Officially, the state calls these facilities residential care facilities, or RCFs. Often, these memory care facilities are special units within larger assisted living communities.

  • Lancaster's low cost of living may allow to seniors with dementia to stretch their budgets further and make memory care more affordable. On average, goods and services in Lancaster are about 8 percent cheaper than elsewhere across the country.
  • Thankfully, Ohio has several special tax breaks in place for seniors. Importantly, the state exempts Social Security retirement benefits. It also allows eligible seniors to claim a credit on other types of retirement income.
  • Lancaster is not one of the safest communities in the U.S. In fact, violent and property crimes occur in Lancaster at rates above national and state averages. The odds that a senior will be the victim of a crime in Lancaster are about one in 20.
  • The weather in Lancaster can be tough on residents at times, especially seniors, who may be at a higher risk of experiencing discomfort or health problems caused by extreme temperatures. Summers in the city are hot, with average July highs around 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and winters are cold, with January lows of about 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
