What to Consider About Memory Care in Elyria

The Ohio Department of Health, Bureau of Regulatory Operations, monitors memory care communities in Elyria and officially licenses them as residential care facilities.

It also conducts unannounced inspections on a regular basis.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Elyria

  • Dementia Friends Ohio serves seniors and families in Elyria and the rest of the state through a range of initiatives, including informational resources, early-stage engagement opportunities and support groups. This can supplement the services individuals receive through local memory care facilities and promote access to effective treatment.
  • Ohio seniors don’t pay state income taxes on their Social Security benefits, leaving more money available for local memory care expenses. Although the state taxes other forms of retirement income, it provides credits to offset seniors’ tax liability.  
  • UH Elyria Medical Center sits in Elyria and provides 24-hour emergency care, along with a variety of inpatient and outpatient treatments and services. It specializes in general surgery and trauma, cardiovascular care, orthopedics and laboratory services, and it offers access to a variety of clinical studies and trials.
  • Elyria serves as a relatively inexpensive place to live, with a cost of living that comes in 19% below the national benchmark and 2% below Ohio’s norm. Housing prices run especially low here, with homes costing about half as much as in a typical U.S. city, which can drive down the cost of memory care.
  • In a typical year, Elyria reports about 21 crimes per 1,000 people, including two violent offenses and 19 property-related infractions. Although the property crime rate aligns with national norms, the violent crime rate runs about half the U.S. average, making the city an attractive option for families seeking a safe environment for a loved one with memory loss. Those with safety concerns may seek memory care services in neighborhoods such as Elyria Southwest, Spring Valley and Laporte, where the city observes even less crime.
