Located just east of Dayton, Xenia is a small community with a population of 26,562. Seniors age 65 or older make up 16.8 percent of the city's population, and some of those seniors are among the 220,000 people in Ohio living with Alzheimer's disease. To support these residents, the Xenia area has five assisted living facilities with memory care units, two within the Xenia city limits and another three located in nearby communities.

The state's assisted living facilities with memory care units and assisted living facilities are regulated by the Ohio Department of Health. Each facility is required to follow preset regulations for property maintenance, security and level of care to ensure all residents have a caring, homelike environment.

• The Xenia area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Greene Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  
• Xenia's overall cost of living average is lower than both state and national medians. This makes it easier for seniors with low or fixed income to afford memory care costs. Healthcare costs, which are especially important to seniors with Alzheimer's disease and/or dementia, average about 13 percent lower than the national average and 8 percent lower than the state average. This makes it easier for seniors to find affordable health care services in the local area.
  
• Even though the city's overall crime rate is 21 percent higher than the state average and 20 percent higher than the national average, Xenia's violent crime rates are 30 percent lower than the Ohio average and 45 percent lower than the U.S. average. The lower violent crime rates and the added security that memory care units provide should relieve any anxiety seniors and their loved ones have in regards to personal safety.
  
•  Ohio is moderately tax-friendly for seniors as the state doesn't impose an income tax on Social Security payments, which leaves more money available for memory care costs. However, pension payments are partially taxed and withdrawals from retirement accounts are fully taxed at a rate of 2.97 percent.
