What to Consider About Memory Care in Marion County

Marion County is home to a population of almost 65,000, and of those, more than 17 percent are part of the 65 years and over demographic, which is most at risk for developing a memory disease like Alzheimer's or dementia. Ohio is estimated to have 220,000 residents suffering from Alzheimer's, and for those living in Marion County, there are two memory care facilities to choose from. Both of these, as with all Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) in the state, are licensed and regulated by the Ohio Department of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Marion County has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital specializing in brain health and dementia care located in Columbus.
  • Retirees looking at memory care in Marion County should know that 401(k)s and IRAs are taxed at the normal rates in the state of Ohio. However, the state exempts Social Security income and has several other exemptions of which seniors may qualify.
  • The low cost of living in Marion County may be attractive to seniors and their families. The area has an overall cost of living that 13 percent lower than the U.S. average and 4 percent lower than the rest of Ohio. However, much of this savings is in housing costs, which run just under half of the rest of the country, and healthcare is slightly more expensive at 2 percent and 7 percent higher than the U.S. and Ohio averages, respectively.
  • Marion County is located in central Ohio and as such sees a decent degree of variability in the weather across the seasons. The average July high is 84 degrees, and January lows average around 18 degrees. The area gets only 175 sunny days a year compared to the U.S. average of 205, which may be an issue for seniors who do better in sunnier climates.
