What to Consider About Assisted Living in Canton

This office keeps a record of all RCFs in the state and is responsible for ensuring these facilities abide by all the pertinent laws.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Canton

  • Canton has a host of hospitals and medical facilities. Mercy Hospital is part of the Cleveland Clinic health care system, and Aultman Hospital was ranked as No.10 in the state. Seniors also have access to the Summa Health system in neighboring Summit County as well as dozens of doctors’ offices, urgent cares and medical facilities in Canton and the surrounding areas.
  • One of the biggest advantages of retiring in Canton is the extremely low cost of living. It’s around 25% lower overall to live in Canton than the average U.S. city, and health care is around 18% lower in this area than the national average.
  • The Northeast Ohio area experiences all four seasons, which can benefit seniors who enjoy the spring flowers and beautiful fall foliage. However, it also means that summers can be warm, with the average July high coming in at 83 degrees F, and winters are cold and snowy, with January lows around 20 degrees F and 39 inches of snow per year on average.
  • Seniors can take advantage of Canton’s public transportation through SARTA. It takes riders to and from common destinations, including the hospitals, the Belden Village shopping area and the public library branches. Seniors over the age of 65 are also eligible for a discounted pass.
  • The Canton area does have higher crime rates for both property and violent crime when compared to the rest of the country. The U.S. average rate for violent crime is 22.7 while Canton’s is 51.7, and the national average for property crime is 35.4 while Canton’s is 74.5. However, most of the crime is in the downtown area, and assisted living facilities in Plain Township, Jackson Township and North Canton are in decidedly safer areas. Assisted living facilities also have security measures in place to ensure the safety of their residents.

Assisted Living Laws and Regulations in Canton
