What to Consider About Memory Care in Medina

Memory care communities in Medina obtain licensure through the Ohio Department of Health’s Bureau of Regulatory Operations. Along with providing standard services, such as housing and personal care, these facilities must provide statements for the department to approve related to intake and discharge criteria, services for residents’ families, behavioral health services and specialized staff training, among other dementia care-specific information.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Medina

 

  • Medina has one major medical facility, Medina Hospital. This hospital is part of the Cleveland Clinic system and has a full range of specialties, including laboratory services, rehabilitative care and wound care. Additionally, it offers expert dementia services with support from the Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute and has specialists who diagnose and treat Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

 

  • Medina is a slightly costlier place to live than a typical U.S. city, mainly due to high real estate costs. Altogether, living expenses are 4% higher here than in the nation as a whole, with residents spending 5% more on groceries and 75% more on housing. While this may drive up the cost of memory care, state-funded programs, such as the Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver Program, may help qualified individuals pay for monthly care expenses.

 

  • On a 100-point safety index, Medina ranks 50, indicating that its crime rate runs lower than about half of U.S. communities. In addition to this, when compared only to similarly sized cities, the number of crime occurrences is significantly lower than the norm. To further promote residents’ safety, many memory care communities have alarm systems and security gates.

 

  • On a 10-point comfort index, Medina rates 9.1 compared to the national score of 7.8, indicating generally pleasant weather and low humidity levels. Temperatures are cool compared to the rest of Ohio, with daytime highs ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit in January to highs of 83 degrees Fahrenheit in July. Many memory care communities have features such as secured outdoor areas and walking paths, allowing seniors to enjoy the outdoors without the risk of unsafe wandering. 

 

  • Ohio doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, and it has credits available to reduce what seniors owe for their income from pensions and retirement accounts. This may help seniors and families afford memory care expenses in Medina.

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Medina
