What to Consider About Memory Care in Wood County

Wood County is located in the state of Ohio, which has the sixth highest rate of Alzheimer's disease in the country. The county is home to over 130,000 residents, including a senior community that comprises almost 15 percent of the population. In Wood County, it's projected that one in 10 seniors receiving Medicare benefits are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. 

Wood County has three memory care facilities, including one in Bowling Green and two in Perrysburg. While some memory care services in Ohio may be provided in independent buildings that house only those with dementia, all three facilities in Wood County share their grounds with assisted living facilities that provide multiple levels of care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in

  • The American Lung Association gives Wood County's moderate ozone pollution level a "C" grade. Because ozone pollution can worsen certain respiratory conditions, the county's air quality may be a consideration for seniors living in memory care facilities in the area. 
  • While Social Security benefits are exempt from state income tax, all other types of retirement income are taxed in Ohio. This may affect how much money can be put toward memory care expenses in Wood County. 
  • The overall cost of living in Wood County is on par with the state average and about 12 percent lower than the national average, which may make the region a good option for those with restrictive memory care budgets. Healthcare is especially affordable here, coming in slightly under the state median and about 15 percent below the national median. 
  • The rate of violent crime in Wood County is a little higher than the state median, but property crime is slightly less prevalent than in the nation as a whole. On a 100-point index, with higher scores indicating more crime, the county's property crime rate is 37.2, versus the national average of 38.1, and the violent crime rate is 36.7, a few points higher than the national average of 31.1. To keep seniors safe, many of the area's memory care facilities use alarm systems and high-security locks.
