What to Consider About Memory Care in Hancock County

Of the more than 75,000 people who call Hancock County, Ohio, home, almost 17 percent are seniors aged 65 years or older. This is the demographic most at risk for developing memory-related diseases such as dementia or Alzheimer's, and it's estimated that around 220,000 people in Ohio were already suffering from Alzheimer's in 2018. In Ohio, the Ohio Department of Health is the entity in charge of licensing and regulating memory care facilities, which are considered Residential Care Facilities (RCFs). Greene County has two memory care facilities in Findlay that provide care to Alzheimer's and dementia patients.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • Hancock county has no/few 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.
  • Overall, the cost of living in Hancock County is 7 percent lower than the U.S. average, but it is slightly higher (2 percent) than the Ohio average. Housing and utilities are 30 percent and 10 percent lower, respectively, than the U.S. average, but healthcare costs run about 2 percent higher than the rest of the nation and 7 percent higher than the state average. This could present a concern for seniors paying for memory care.
  • Hancock County residents get to enjoy all four seasons, with winter lows in the high teens and summer highs in the mid 80s. However, the area also sees a decent amount of precipitation, 36 inches of rain and 22 inches of snow per year, and only 177 sunny days compared to the national mean of 205. This could be a problem for seniors who enjoy a sunny environment.
  • While Social Security retirement income is exempt from taxes in Ohio, other types of income such as IRAs and 401(k)s are taxed at normal rates, which could mean less money in the budget for seniors. However, there are some exemptions available that may help cut down tax liabilities.
