The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Akron, OH

Image 1

Akron was once known as the Rubber Capital of the World, for the pioneering role the city played in starting both the American rubber and tire industries. Today, the city is a hub of polymer and advanced materials research, but it’s still surrounded by largely unspoiled wilderness areas where seniors can hike, camp, fish or hunt. The nearby Cuyahoga River flows through a national park that offers 75% discounts on admission to seniors aged 62 and over who buy the annual pass.

Over 14% of Akron’s 198,000 residents are seniors aged 65 and over, and the city is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. This means that the community’s elected leadership has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city, county or state a great place to live for people of all ages. One benefit for seniors with limited mobility is rides on demand from the METRO Regional Transit Authority, which operates disabled ride services throughout Summit County.

Seniors in Akron pay an average monthly cost of $4,560 for assisted living. This is somewhat higher than the Ohio state average of $4,278, and nationwide average of $4,000 a month, according to the 2018 Genworth Cost of Care Survey.
