Around 12,000 Ohio residents turn 65 each month and many are making their home in Dayton. The city has many benefits for seniors, including a low cost of living and numerous senior resources and programs that support adults as they age. Dayton was named in the top 20 midsize cities nationwide in the 2019 Healthgrades National Health Index, and the city’s residents enjoy quality hospitals and easy access to health care. Seniors who prefer outdoor living can explore the city’s five rivers and multiple lakes, and there are many museums and galleries to discover during the winter months. Seniors retiring to Dayton will join more than 17,800 older adults who already call the city home.
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.
