Boasting world-renowned healthcare institutions while serving a wide variety of interests, Cleveland caters to seniors who want to live their lives in wellness and full color after retirement. The Forest City of Ohio is home to around 77,000 senior residents, together with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Playhouse Square theater district and many popular sports teams and orchestras. This sizable aging population benefits from the city’s array of senior programs and services while enjoying a melting pot of diverse communities and an abundance of local and international cuisines. Aside from the impressive city attractions, Cleveland offers its nature-loving seniors a breath of fresh air via the popular Lake Erie and Cleveland Metroparks network of activities.
To help seniors discover the most senior-friendly locations around the country, Caring.com conducted a new study, “The Best and Worst Places for Senior Living.” The Caring Senior Living Report analyzes and ranks 300 cities and 50 states on the quality of senior living in that area. The cities were graded using 46 metrics across five categories: Health Care, Senior Living & Housing, Affordability, Quality of life, and Transportation.
